简要总结
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of retigabine vs. placebo in reducing pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia.
详细描述
This is a Phase 2a proof of concept study evaluating the safety/efficacy of retigabine vs. placebo in patients with post-herpetic neuralgia. After screening, patients will enter a maximum 6 week titration period followed by a 4 week maintenance period and a 3 week taper phase.

结局指标
主要结局
Primary Endpoint Will be the Change From Baseline in Average Pain Score Over the Last 7 Days of the Maintenance Phase.
时间窗: Baseline and Week 4 (Maintenance Phase-MP)
Change from Baseline (BL) was calculated as the value of the average diary pain score for the last 7 days of the MP minus the value of the average pain score at BL (post wash-out period, including the average of the last 7 available entries prior to/including the diary pain measurement on Titration Day 0). Based on their pain experienced during the previous 24 hours, participants assessed their pain every evening at bedtime in an electronic diary by choosing the appropriate number on an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS): 0, no pain; 1 to 3, mild; 4 to 6, moderate; 7 to 10, severe pain.
次要结局
- Change From Baseline to Weeks 2 and 4 of the Maintenance Phase in Mean In-clinic Pain Assessment(Baseline and Weeks 2 and 4 (Maintenance Phase - MP))
- Number of Rescue Medication Tablets Taken Per Day During the Maintenance Phase (MP)(Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 Maintenance Phase)
- Change From Baseline in Pain Intensity Score at Each Week During the Maintenance Phase (MP)(Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 (MP))

- Number of Participants With the Indicated Change From Baseline to the End of the Maintenance Phase in Optimal Sleep Based on the Sleep Quantity Domain of the MOS Sleep Scale(Baseline and End of Maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4).)
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Overall Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)(Baseline to the end of Maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4))
- Mean Score on the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) at the End of the Maintenance Phase(End of Maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4))
- Scores on the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) at the End of the MP for All Participants Who Completed Week-4 of the MP and Who Terminated Early During the MP(End of Maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4))
- Scores on the Medical Outcomes Short Form-36 (SF-36) at the End of the MP for All Participants Who Completed Week 4 of the MP and Who Terminated Early During the MP(End of Maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4))
- Scores for Reported Health Transition at the End of the MP for All Participants Who Completed Week 4 of the MP and Who Terminated Early During the MP(End of maintenance Phase (MP) (Week 4))
- Number of Participants With the Indicated Responses at Baseline to the Question: "How Painful Was the Affected Side Compared to the Opposite Side?" in an Assessment of Tactile Allodynia(Baseline Phase (Day -7 to Randomization Day 0))
