Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the safety of repeat applications of QUTENZA administered over a period of 12 months in subjects with PDPN;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of repeat applications of QUTENZA administered over a period of 12 months in subjects with PDPN;Primary end point(s): Percentage change in health related quality of life (HRQOL) total score as assessed by the disease specific Norfolk scale from baseline to endpoint (discontinuation or End of Study [EoS] visit).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline to endpoint (discontinuation or end of study visit) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Neurological function as assessed by the UENS and sensory testing • Tolerability of patch application by: - dermal assessment (0–7 point severity score on dermal assessment scale); and - “pain now” NPRS scores after patch application - rescue medication use on days 1 through 5 • Adverse events and serious adverse events (SAEs) • Vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure) associated with patch application • Laboratory analyses • Intensity of neuropathic pain using “average pain” NPRS scores (Question 5 of BPI-DN form) • BPI pain severity index and pain interference index • Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) • Generic HRQOL measured by European Quality of Life – 5 Dimensions (EQ- 5D) questionnaire. • Treatment satisfaction using the Self-Assessment of Treatment (SAT) questionnaire;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline to endpoint (discontinuation or end of study visit) | — |
