Brief summary

Patients will be switched from their current medication for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pregabalin as compared to placebo. All patients will receive pregabalin, and half of patients will receive placebo at some point during the study.

Interventions

Lyrica 150-300 mg/day. Medication is supplied as capsules and given 3 times daily.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Single-Blind Baseline in Mean Pain Score at Week 19 During Double-Blind PhaseSB Baseline, Week 19 (DB Phase)Mean pain score was defined as the mean of the last 7 daily diary pain ratings. Participants rated their DPN pain over the past 24 hours on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain. A rating of 1-3 was considered as mild pain; 4-6 = moderate pain; and 7-10 = severe pain. SB baseline refers to the last 7 pain diary entries up to and including Day 1.

Change From Single-Blind Baseline in Mean Pain Score at Week 19 During Double-Blind Phase

Mean pain score was defined as the mean of the last 7 daily diary pain ratings. Participants rated their DPN pain over the past 24 hours on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain. A rating of 1-3 was considered as mild pain; 4-6 = moderate pain; and 7-10 = severe pain. SB baseline refers to the last 7 pain diary entries up to and including Day 1.

Time frame: SB Baseline, Week 19 (DB Phase)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all participants randomized to double-blind treatment who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study treatment. Missing data were imputed using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF).

Medical Outcomes Study -Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) (Single-Blind Phase)

Participant-rated 12-item questionnaire to assess constructs of sleep over past week; 7 subscales: sleep disturbance (range 0-100), snoring (range 0-100), awaken short of breath (SOB) or with headache (range 0-100), sleep adequacy (range 0-100), somnolence (range: 0-100); sleep quantity (range: 0-24), optimal sleep (yes/no), and 9 item index measures of sleep disturbance provide composite scores: sleep problems index (range 0-100). Except adequacy, optimal sleep and quantity, higher scores=more impairment.

Participants rated their DPN pain over the past 24 hours on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain. A rating of 1-3 was considered as mild pain; 4-6 = moderate pain; and 7-10 = severe pain.

Time frame: Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Population: SBAS included all participants who were enrolled in single-blind treatment phase and received at least one dose of study treatment. Here N (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants who were evaluable for this measure and n signifies participants who were evaluable for specified time-point.

Weekly Mean Sleep Interference Score (Double-Blind Phase)

Weekly mean sleep interference score was defined as the mean of the daily sleep interference diary ratings split into 7 day intervals. Participants rated how painful DPN has interfered with their sleep during the past 24 hours on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 = does not interfere with sleep to 10 = completely interferes (unable to sleep due to pain).

Time frame: DB Baseline, Week 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19

Population: FAS included all participants randomized to double-blind treatment who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study treatment. Here n signifies participants who were evaluable for specified time-point for each arm group, respectively.
