CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

The main objective is to compare the change in pain intensity from baseline to last week of fremanezumab treatment to placebo treatment in patients with CRPS.

Secondary objectives 1

  1. To assess pain relief and differences in clinical signs of the disease and function between the groups and if the effect can be predicted by CGRP biomarkers.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. Age between 18 and 75 years.
  2. Confirmed CRPS (type I or II) diagnosed according to the International Association of Pain (IASP) diagnostic criteria of CRPS (Budapest criteria) with adaption to research
  3. Disease lasting from 3-36 months
  4. Mean ADP score of at least 4 on a 11-point NRS scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable during the baseline week
  5. Written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria 10

  1. Other causes of pain and/or inflammation in the same area as CRPS or other concomitant pain/inflammation that cannot be distinguished from CRPS.
  2. Spreading of the CRPS to other extremities according to IASP criteria for spreading of CRPS
  3. Initiation of new pain medication or corticosteroids.
  4. Poor compliance or patients who cannot cooperate or are unable to be able to complete the project and language difficulties.
  5. Severe depression or other significant psychiatric disease, alcohol or drug abuse.

  8. Known allergy to any component of fremanezumab.
  9. Planned surgery.
  10. Significant severe disease

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Difference between groups (placebo vs. active treatment) in the change in self-reported daily ratings of mean average daily pain intensity (ADP) in the affected limb from the baseline week to the last week of treatment, as experienced during the past 24 hours, rated on a 0–10-point numeric rating scale (NRS; 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain).

Secondary endpoints 4

  1. Difference in Pain relief on a 6-point scale: complete, good, moderate, mild, none, worse.
  2. Difference in the change in mean CRPS severity score (CSS) from end of baseline to end of week 4 and 8.
  3. Differences in the area and intensity of mechanical allodynia, assessed by brushing a soft brush (Somedic) twice with a speed of 1-2 cm/s
  4. The relationship between the primary outcome measure and the duration of CRPS (measured in months).
