- Conditions
- Small Fiber NeuropathyDiabetes Mellitus
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo
- Registration Number
- NCT03339336
- Lead Sponsor
- Biogen
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB074 in treating pain experienced by participants with confirmed small fiber neuropathy (SFN) that is idiopathic or associated with diabetes mellitus. A secondary endpoint that relates to the primary objective is the change from Randomization to Week 12 of the double-blind period in mean average daily pain score.
The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect on worst pain, neuropathic pain quality, sleep interference due to pain, patient global impression, use of rescue medication, and SFN symptoms in participants treated with BIIB074; to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in participants with SFN; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074 in participants with SFN.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Randomization in Weekly Mean ADP Score Randomization and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean ADP scores for Randomization (the 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the double-blind period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Average Daily Pain (ADP) Score Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Sleep Interference Numerical Rating Scale (S-NRS) Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their S-NRS using an 11-point NRS (0=pain does not interfere with sleep and 10= pain completely interferes with sleep) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean S-NRS scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the daily S-NRS scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Proportion of Participants with at least a 2-point Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During Double-Blind Period Week 5 to Week 17 AEs: any sign, symptom, or diagnosis/disease that is unfavorable or unintended, that is new, or if pre-existing, worsens in participants administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAEs: an event that results in death; an event that, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); an outcome that results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect diagnosed in a child of a participant; an event that requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; an event that results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve at Steady State Week 1, 3, 5, 9, 13 and 17 prior to dosing and 1 to 2 hours after dosing, and at Day 123 (Follow-up clinic visit) Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) at Steady State Week 1, 3, 5, 9, 13 and 17 prior to dosing and 1 to 2 hours after dosing, and at Day 123 (Follow-up clinic visit) Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Worst Daily Pain (WDP) Score Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their WDP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean WDP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the WDP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Change from Baseline in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Total Score and Sum Score Baseline and Week 12 of Double-Blind Period Participant will use the NPSI questionnaire to rate different symptoms of neuropathic pain. The NPSI includes ten items related to different pain descriptors (e.g. burning and pressure) that are rated on an 11-point NRS (0=no symptoms to 10=worst symptoms imaginable). A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire.
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period PGIC is a 7-point self-administered scale that depicts changes in a participant's overall status. Participants will rate their change as "1=very much improved," "2=much improved," "3=minimally improved," "4=no change," "5=minimally worse," "6=much worse," or "7=very much worse."
Change from Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Interference Score Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period The BPI-SF is a 7-item self-administered questionnaire that measures how much pain has interfered with daily functioning. Participants will rate the level of pain interference on daily functioning on an 11-point NRS where 0=does not interfere and 10=completely interferes.
Proportion of Participants with at least a 30% Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP Baseline and Week 12 of Double-Blind Period Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS) (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Mean Weekly Amount of Rescue Medication Weekly from Baseline to Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period Use of rescue medication (paracetamol/acetaminophen) will be monitored and dosage will be recorded on a daily basis by the participant using an electronic Diary (eDiary). Mean weekly amount of rescue medication used for neuropathic pain during the double-blind period.
