NCT00599638

Brief Summary

Pregabalin is an alpha-2 delta ligand approved for the treatment of neuropathic pain, however, not all patients will respond to this drug. This study will compare the efficacy of pregabalin when administered with an experimental drug PF-00489791, in patients with post-herpetic neuralgia. The efficacy of this combination will be compared to pregabalin alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean Pain Score on Daily Pain Rating Scale (DPRS)

    Pain was assessed by using a daily pain rating scale that consisted of an 11-point numeric scale ranging from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst possible pain"), higher scores indicate more pain intensity. Participants described their pain during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number between 0 and 10. Self-assessment was performed daily. The mean pain score was defined as the mean of the last 7 daily pain ratings scale scores while taking study medication, at end of each treatment period: Period 1 (Week 2) and Period 2 (Week 6), respectively. Mean pain score had a score range of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), higher scores indicate more pain. Cumulative data of mean pain scores at end of treatment for both the periods was calculated and reported in terms of adjusted mean and standard error.

    End of treatment period (included both Week 2 and Week 6)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Percentage of Participants With Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score

    End of treatment period (included both Week 2 and Week 6)

  • Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at Baseline and Week 4

    Baseline, Week 4

  • Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI)

    End of treatment period (included both Week 2 and Week 6)

  • Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Vital Signs Abnormalities

    Baseline up to Week 7

  • Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities

    Baseline up to Week 7

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
