Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Therapy, Dose response, Others

To analyse sleep and its microstructure in neuropathic pain patients who have or who do not have a major sleep disturbance, before and during treatment with pregabalin.

Secondary objectives 3

  1. To find out whether reduced pain by pregabalin associates with improved sleep quality
  2. To study, using resting state fMRI, brain network connectivity and the volume of the choroid plexus before and during pregabalin treatment.
  3. To compare the usability and reliability of sleep-related information collected with sleep diaries, Oura-rings, iButtons, and 1-night ambulatory polysomnography.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Patients have peristent peripheral neuropathic pain. They are not rare diseases.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 1

  1. Patients with peripheral painful neuropathy, age 18-75 years, pain is chronic (duration >3 months) and moderate to severe intensity (NRS ≥ 4/10) aiming to recruit 20 patients with at least a moderate sleep disturbance as assessed with ISI-questionnaire (>14) and 20 patients without sleep disturbance.

Exclusion criteria 1

  1. Excessive alcohol consumption (>7 doses/week). If the patient uses gabapentinoids (gabapentin or pregabalin), they are discontinued 2 weeks before the study. Psychotic depression, clinically significant bipolar disorder. Contraindications to brain fMRI.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Pregabalin response to pain. Pain intensity and interference assessed by numeric rating scale

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Pregabalin effect on sleep stages. 1-night Ambulatory Polysomnography (NREM stage III).
  2. Sleep disturbance associations to brain network connectivity. Brain fMRI for brain network connectivity
  3. Sleep disturbance associations to choroid plexus volume in brain fMRI. Brain fMRI for choroid plexus volume measures
  4. Pregabalin effect on circadian rhythms. 1-week actigraphy and OURA-ring
  5. Pregabalin effect on body temperature during sleep. 1-night body temperature measurement by iButton
