Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) as a proportion of patients showing a 50% or more, reduction of pain intensity, as measured using a 100 mm visual analogic scale (VAS), from the baseline visit to the last visit of the double-blind phase.;Secondary Objective: To assess the improvement in pain intensity over the study period through VAS scale; To assess the improvement in clinical signs and symptoms; To assess the quality of life through generic and specific QoL questionnaires; To assess the rescue analgesic consumption; To assess the safety and local tolerability of Neridronate 25 mg administered by repeated i.m. injections; To assess the effect of treatment on body mass index (BMI); To assess the effect of treatment on the following markers of bone metabolism: serum Type I collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTx); sclerostin, osteocalcin, N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP), recombinant human Dickkopf Homolog 1 (DKK1), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint will be the proportion of patients showing a reduction = 50% of pain intensity graded on a 100 mm VAS scale from baseline to Day 30 (Visit 4). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See item E.5.1 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The secondary efficacy variables are: Pain graded on a 100 mm VAS scale recorded at the intermediate visits; Clinical signs and symptoms based on a 0-3 rating scale (none, mild, moderate, severe): swelling and pain on passive motion at the intermediate visits; Clinical symptoms based on a dichotomous (present/absent) evaluation: sweating, allodynia and hyperalgesia at the intermediate visits; Mc Gill Pain Questionnaire Short-Form (SF); At visit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 e 7 Quality of life: SF-36 questionnaire; At visit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 e 7 Rescue medication consumption: number of tablets of Paracetamol 500 mg administered, reported on a patient daily diary at visit 2, 3, 4; Markers of bone metabolism: serum CTx, sclerostin, osteocalcin, P1NP, DKK1, PTH and vitamin D. At visit 1, 4, 4a (if Applicable), 5, 6, 7 The safety variables of the study are: Adverse Events (AEs) occurring At any time during the study; Hematology and blood chemistry At visit 0, 1, 3, 4, 4a,4d (if Applicable), 5, 6, 7; Physical examination, including measurement of vital signs: weight, height (for BMI assessment), blood pressure and heart rate At visit 0,1, 4, 4a (if Applicable),5, 6, 7; Injection site pain (VAS) At visit 1,2,3; Injection site reddening score: At visit 1,2,3 Injection site hardening score: At visit 1,2,3 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See item E.5.2 | — |
