Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-712 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP)
- Registration Number
- NCT00761150
- Lead Sponsor
- AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)
- Brief Summary
The primary purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of 2 tablets (twice daily) of ABT-712, compared to placebo, administered over a 4-week period in participants with moderate to severe mechanical chronic low back pain (CLBP).
- Detailed Description
The study used a randomized withdrawal design with an open label (OL) period prior to a double-blind (DB) period. Participants who were receiving benefit and were tolerating ABT-712 during the OL period were randomized into the DB period. Study drug was given for a total of 8 weeks, which included up to 3 weeks in OL, up to 4 weeks in DB, and a 1-week DB taper. During the OL period, all participants took increasing doses of ABT-712 until they were taking 2 tablets, twice daily. During the DB period, participants in the ABT-712 group took 2 ABT-712 tablets, twice daily throughout the 4 weeks, while participants in the placebo group took 2 placebo tablets twice daily.

Group Intervention Description Double-blind Placebo Placebo 2 placebo tablets, twice daily, for 4 weeks (double-blind period). Open-label ABT-712 ABT-712 2 ABT-712 extended-release tablets, twice daily, for up to 3 weeks (open-label period).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Double-blind (DB) Baseline to Final Assessment in Chronic Lower Back Pain (CLBP) Intensity by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Double-blind baseline to 4 weeks The change from the DB randomization baseline (DB baseline: the last assessment before first dose in the DB period) to the final assessment in pain intensity, assessed using the CLBP Intensity VAS (0 mm = No Pain and 100 mm = Worst Pain Imaginable). Least squares means and standard errors from 2-way ANCOVA model without interaction.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Double-blind (DB) Baseline to Final Assessment in Chronic Pain Sleep Inventory (CPSI) Double-blind baseline to 4 weeks The change from the DB randomization baseline (DB baseline: the last assessment before first dose in the DB period) to the final assessment of the impact of pain on the participant's sleep. The CPSI utilizes a 100 mm VAS scale for questions of how often the participant had trouble falling asleep because of pain, needed sleeping medication, was awakened by pain during the night, and was awakened by pain in the morning (0 mm = Never and 100 mm = Always); and for rating the overall quality of sleep (0 mm = Very Poor and 100 mm = Excellent). Least squares means and standard errors from 2-way ANCOVA model without interaction.
