An Efficacy and Safety Study of Basimglurant (NOE-101) in Patients With Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Phase 2

Conditions
Trigeminal Neuralgia

Registration Number
NCT05217628
Lead Sponsor
Noema Pharma AG
Brief Summary

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also called "tic douloureux", is the most common form of craniofacial neuropathic pain and is considered the cause of one of the most painful afflictions known in medical practice.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1.5mg - 3.5mg basimglurant in adults with TN.

Detailed Description

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of basimglurant (NOE-101) in patients with TN. Basimglurant is a potent inhibitor of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) which controls a wide range of processes in both central and peripheral nervous system. Inhibition of the mGluR5 receptor has shown therapeutic potential for pain associated with conditions such as TN. The drug has been shown to have a favorable safety profile in adults, children and adolescents. The aim of the study is to determine whether Basimglurant decreases both duration and intensity of facial pain associated with TN by use of a patient pain diary and the Patient-reported Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) compared to baseline.
