简要总结
This is a Phase IIa randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The study objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of repeat oral dosing of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) AP-325 for the treatment of peripheral post-surgical neuropathic pain (PPNP) after breast surgery (breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy, surgery to remove lymph nodes), chest surgery (e.g. thoracotomy, video assisted thoracoscopy and sternotomy), hernia repair of the abdominal wall (e.g. femoral hernia repairs, inguinal hernia repairs, umbilical hernia repair or incisional hernia repair), abdominal surgery (e.g. cholecystectomy, appendectomy but also see exclusion criterion 15), varicose vein surgery or gynecologic surgery (e.g. hysterectomy, C-section).
详细描述
This is a Phase IIa randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy (by changes in Pain Intensity Numerical Rating Scale [PI-NRS]) and safety (by monitoring adverse events) of AP-325 in subjects with PPNP.
The clinical trial will be conducted in Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium and France.
Eligible subjects will undergo a 2-week run-in period consisting of a washout-period of prohibited medications in the 1st week and a baseline period in the 2nd week. If subjects have at least 5 self-reported pain assessments in the baseline period (documented in a diary) and meet the required pain criteria, they will be randomized to AP-325 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.
Subjects will take the IMP (AP-325 or placebo) for 10 days (double-blind treatment period; Days 1-10) and then be followed up for a further 26 days (drug-free period; Days 11-36). An end of study visit will be performed on Day 36.
At least 96 subjects (48 for each treatment) need to be analyzed for the primary endpoint at Day 10 to reach the power estimate (120 subjects should be screened for the study).
