E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 dose regimens of BIIB074 on
neuropathic pain in subjects with PLSR. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
A secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 dose regimens of BIIB074 on additional
neuropathic pain measures and assessments of low back pain, disability, and quality of life. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Men and women aged 18 to 75 years inclusive
- Has body weight ≥50 kg for men and ≥45 kg for women
- Must have diagnosis of neuropathic PLSR
- Has duration of neuropathic (leg) pain of at least 6 months before Screening
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Has planned surgical intervention for PLSR within the duration of the study.
- Has a history of peripheral neuropathy (e.g., due to diabetes, alcohol consumption, other causes, or idiopathic) or evidence of peripheral neuropathy upon neurological examination
- Has a history or risk of seizures or a history of epilepsy, clinically significant head injury, or related neurological disorders
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint that relates to this objective is the change from Baseline (Week 2) to
Week 14 in the weekly average of the daily neuropathic pain* score on the 11-point PI-NRS.
Subjects will be asked every evening to rate their overall neuropathic pain for the last 24-hour
period.
*Neuropathic pain will be evaluated in the worse affected leg, as identified at Screening. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Week 14 last 24-hour
period.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Efficacy endpoints in neuropathic pain:
1. 50% neuropathic daily pain reduction response (yes/no) at Week 14, where a
response is defined as a ≥50% reduction in the weekly average of the daily
neuropathic pain score from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14
2. 30% neuropathic daily pain reduction response (yes/no) at Week 14, where a
response is defined as a ≥30% reduction in the weekly average of the daily
neuropathic pain score from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14
3. Changes from Baseline (Week 2) in the weekly average of the daily neuropathic
pain score at each visit
Efficacy endpoint in low back pain:
4. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 in the weekly average of the daily
pain score for low back pain; subjects will be asked every evening to rate their
overall low back pain for the last 24-hour period
Other efficacy endpoints:
5. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) responder (yes/no) at Week 14,
where a responder is defined as either “much improved” or “very much
improved”
6. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 on the Oswestry Disability Index
7. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 in the weekly average of the daily
sleep score; subjects will be asked every morning to rate on the 11-point Sleep
Numerical Rating Scale (S-NRS) how leg pain interfered with their sleep quality
8.Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)-
Interference index
9. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 in the BPI-Pain index
10. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 on the EuroQoL 5-Dimension
5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) health index
11. Change from Baseline (Week 2) to Week 14 in the Short Form 36 Questionnaire
(SF-36)
12. Amount of rescue medication used (dosage/day)
Another secondary objective is to investigate the safety and tolerability of 2 dose regimens of BIIB074.
The endpoints that relate to this objective are as follows:
AEs and SAEs
Vital signs
ECG parameters
Laboratory safety tests
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Another secondary objective is to characterize the PK of BIIB074 in this population. |

Point 3 - Changes from Baseline (Week 2) in the weekly average of the daily neuropathic pain score at each visit.
