General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that the Lixim plaster applied once every 24 hours is superior to matching placebo plasters, in particular with regard to pain relief, in patients with acute strains, sprains or bruises (contusions) of the soft tissues following blunt trauma, e.g., sports injuries.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
This clinical trial was designed, implemented and reported in accordance with the ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, with applicable local regulations (including applicable European Directives, AMG and GCP-V), and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki. The clinical trial was initiated after written and dated positive vote by the IEC and approval by the national health authority (BfArM) were received for the documents required by the GCP regulation including clinical trial protocol, subject information including the ICF as well as any subsequent amendments. Eligible patients were only included in the clinical trial after providing written (witnessed, where required by law or regulation), IEC-approved informed consent. Informed consent was obtained before conducting any clinical trial-specific procedures (i.e., all the procedures described in the protocol). The process of obtaining informed consent was documented in the patient source documents. Every patient received an information sheet on insurance coverage together with a copy of the patient information and signed informed consent. Patients could voluntarily withdraw from the clinical trial for any reason at any time. Women of child bearing potential were informed that taking the IMP may involve unknown risks to the foetus if pregnancy occurred during the clinical trial and agreed that in order to participate in the clinical trial, they had to adhere to the contraception requirement for the duration of the clinical trial. If there was any question that the patient might not reliably comply, they were not to be entered in the clinical trial.

Blinding implementation details |
Patients, Investigator staff, assessors, monitors and data analysts remained blinded to the identity of the treatment (active or placebo) from the time of randomization until database lock. Methods: (1) randomization data were kept strictly confidential, accessible only to authorized persons, until the time of unblinding; (2) the identity of the treatments was concealed by the use of IMPs that were all identical in packaging, labelling, schedule of administration, appearance and odour.

One "Lixim 70 mg wirkstoffhaltiges Pflaster" was applied every 24 h throughout the 7 days treatment period.
Patients were instructed to apply the plaster in the center of the cleaned and dried injured area. The applied plaster was pressed to the skin for at least 30-60 sec to guarantee optimal plaster adhesion. The patients were instructed to continue to apply the plaster once a day every 24 hours, for 7 days until the final visit.

Pain intensity difference (PID) | ||||||||||||
End point description |
The primary efficacy variable was the pain intensity difference (PID) in pain-on-movement (POM) assessed at visit 5 (72 hours after initiating treatment). POM was assessed by standardised procedures involving a movement of the injured limb and the assessment of the level of patient-reported pain experienced during the movement via the 100 mm VAS scale from 0 = “no pain” to 100 = “Extreme pain”. From POM values the PID was calculated by subtracting POM VAS from baseline, so that greater negative PID values indicate greater pain reduction.
