General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of BAY2395840 on pain associated with diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) as compared with placebo.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council for Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent was read by and explained to all the subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE was defined as any AE that, at any dose: a. Results in death, b. Was life-threatening, c. Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, d. Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, e. Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, etc. AE=Adverse event SAE=Serious adverse event

End point description |
The NPSI contained 12 items, of which five summary pain scores can be calculated: “superficial spontaneous”, “deep spontaneous”, “paroxysmal pain”, “evoked pain”, and “paresthesia/ dysesthesia”. The total score was sum of the summary scores divided by 100. The 10 descriptive items used to derive the domain summary scores are each rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale (0= “no (symptom)” and 10= “worst (symptom) imaginable”); each item has a recall period of the past 24 hours. The remaining two items report how consistently pain has been present and the number of pain episodes.
