Analgecine for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain

Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Neuropathic Pain
• Interventions: Biological: Analgecine; Biological: Neurotropin

• Registration Number: NCT02633618
• Lead Sponsor: VanWorld Pharmaceutical (Rugao) Company Limited

Brief Summary

A randomized, open-label , positive drug controlled (Neurotropin,Japan organs Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ), multi-center study to evaluate Analgecine's efficacy and safety for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

Detailed Description

The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Analgecine for the treatment of neuropathic pain for 2 weeks. It was a randomized, open-label , positive drug controlled, multi-center study phase III clinical trial. Patients were recruited with age between 18 and 80 and visual analysis scale (VAS) between 3 and 8. After randomization, subjects were divided into 2 groups: 1) Treatment with Analgecine as experiment group; 2) Treatment with Neurotropin as positive control group. There are 3 measurement time points on day 0, 7, 14 after treatment to score patients pain with VAS. The changes of the VAS score at day 14 were compared between groups.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Analgecine	Analgecine	3ml, 2 times per day, continuous infusion for two weeks.
Neurotropin	Neurotropin	3ml, 2 times per day, continuous infusion for two weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of visual analog scale on pain	2 weeks	Pain was scored by VAS 10 points (visual analog scale). The degree of pain gradually increases from 0 to 10. The subtraction mark rate of VAS value before and after treatment and the grade decrease of associated symptoms will be regarded as the main curative effects indexes.
