NCT03637387

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB074 in treating pain experienced by participants with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The secondary objectives are to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in participants with TN and to evaluate the population pharmacokinetic(s) (PK) of BIIB074.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders at Week 12 of the Double- Blind Period

    A participant who meets all of the following criteria will be classified as a responder: (1) Has a reduction of \>=30% in mean pain score compared with baseline; (2) Has not discontinued randomized treatment before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period; (3) Has not taken prohibited pain medication before the end of Week 12 of the double-blind period.

    Week 12

  • Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Long Term Extension (LTE) Period

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the subject at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event; however, this does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Baseline up to Week 52 of the LTE

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Response at Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period

    Week 12

  • Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving >=50 Percent Reduction From Baseline Mean Number of Paroxysms at Week 12

    Week 12

  • Percentage of Participants Classified as Responders Achieving >=50 Percent Reduction From Baseline Mean Pain Score at Week 12

    Week 12

  • Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Double Blind Period

    Up to Week 14 of Double blind period

  • Area Under the Plasma Concentration- Time Curve at Steady State (AUC,ss)

    Day 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, premature treatment discontinuation (if occurred)

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • A diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) for at least 3 months based on International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria.
  • Participant must have failed at least 1 prior standard of care pharmacologic treatment for TN (defined as an inadequate response or intolerance to treatment), as determined by the Investigator based on medical history.
  • Age ≥18 years at the time of informed consent.
  • Participants must have recorded their pain score in their eDiary on at least 5 days during the run-in period (Days -7 to -1).
  • Allowed concomitant medications must have been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1 of the dose-optimization period. The maximum dosage of carbamazepine allowed on Day 1 is 400 mg/day (or 600 mg/day for oxcarbazepine).

You may not qualify if:

  • History or positive test result at Screening for hepatitis C virus antibody or current hepatitis B infection (defined as positive for hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] and/or hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\]).
  • Positive history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or a positive HIV test at Screening.
  • Participants with facial pain other than TN.
  • Personal or family (first-degree relative) history of seizures (except for simple febrile convulsions) or clinically significant head injury.
  • Positive drug screen for drugs of abuse at Screening (amphetamine \[methamphetamines and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine\], phencyclidine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opioids) except if explained by use of allowed prescription medicines. Prospective subjects with a positive screen for tetrahydrocannabinol must agree to discontinue use upon study enrollment and for the duration of the study.
  • Known hypersensitivity to BIIB074 or components of the BIIB074 formulation or matching placebo.
