E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
1. Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Average Daily Pain (ADP) Score:
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label
run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last
7 days.
2. Change from Randomization in Weekly Mean ADP Score:
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean ADP scores for Randomization (the 7 days prior to the first dose of
study treatment in the doubleblind
period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of
the daily scores over the last
7 days. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1. Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
2. Day 78 to 84 of the Double-Blind Period |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Worst Daily Pain (WDP) Score:
Participants will rate their WDP using
an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record
their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean WDP scores for Baseline (the
7 days prior to the first dose of study
treatment in the open-label run-in
period) and Week 12 (the 7 days
prior to the visit at the end of Week
12) will be derived from the WDP
scores and calculated as the mean
of the daily scores over the last 7
days.
2. Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Sleep Interference Numerical
Rating Scale (S-NRS):
Participants will rate their S-NRS using an 11-point NRS (0=pain does
not interfere with sleep and 10= pain completely interferes with sleep) and
record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean S-NRS scores for Baseline (the 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the openlabel run-in period) and Week 12
(the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from
the daily S-NRS scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
3. Change from Baseline in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Total Score and Sum Score:
Participant will use the NPSI questionnaire to rate different symptoms of neuropathic pain. The NPSI includes ten items related to different pain descriptors (e.g.
burning and pressure) that are rated
on an 11-point NRS (0=no symptoms
to 10=worst symptoms imaginable).
A score in each dimension and also
a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the
questionnaire.
4. Percentage of Participants with at least a 2-point Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP:
Participants will rate their ADP using
an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record
their score in an electronic diary
(eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores
for Baseline (the 7 days prior to the
first dose of study treatment in the
open-label run-in period) and Week
12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the
end of Week 12) will be derived from
the ADP scores and calculated as
the mean of the daily scores over the
last 7 days.
5. Percentage of Participants
with at least a 30% Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP:
Participants will rate their ADP using
an 11-point NRS) (0=no pain and
10=worst possible pain) and record
their score in an electronic diary
(eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores
for Baseline (the 7 days prior to the
first dose of study treatment in the
open-label run-in period) and Week
12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the
end of Week 12) will be derived from
the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the
last 7 days.
6. Mean Weekly Amount of Supplemental Pain Medication:
Use of supplemental pain medication
(paracetamol/acetaminophen) will be
monitored and dosage will be recorded on a daily basis by the
participant using an electronic Diary
(eDiary). Mean weekly amount of
supplemental pain medication used
for neuropathic pain during the
double-blind period.
7. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC):
PGIC is a 7-point self-administered
scale that depicts changes in a participant's overall status. Participants will rate their change as
“1=very much improved,” “2=much
improved,” “3=minimally improved,”
“4=no change,” “5=minimally worse,”
“6=much worse,” or “7=very much
worse.”
8. Change from Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Interference Score:
The BPI-SF is a 7-item selfadministered
questionnaire that measures how much pain has interfered with daily functioning. Participants will rate the level of pain interference on daily functioning on an 11-point NRS where 0=does not interfere and 10=completely interferes. |
