Study Evaluating the Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of ADL5859 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: Adolor Corporation
Information provided by: Adolor Corporation
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00626275
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with placebo and naproxen (similar to Aleve®). A second objective is to see whether the effect of ADL5859 differs after a single dose compared with multiple doses. The study drug, ADL5859, has not been previously tested in patients with RA; it is anticipated to provide pain relief in RA because it demonstrated effectiveness in animal studies.

Official Title: A Phase 2a Randomized, Placebo- and Active-Controlled, Single-Dose, 3-Period, Crossover Study Followed by a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, 14-Day, Parallel-Group Study Evaluating the Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of ADL 5859 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Further study details as provided by Adolor Corporation:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Part A (single-dose crossover part): Average difference between baseline and postdose lower extremity pain intensity (LEPI) over 6 hours after repeated treadmill walking. Part B: mean daily LEPI score over 2 weeks. [ Time Frame: 6 hours post dosing and 3xdaily IVRS calls during 2 wks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Part A (single-dose crossover): pain intensity score for overall pain, for lower extremity pain, & for evoked (by treadmill walking) lower extremity pain at each scheduled time point. [ Time Frame: 2, 4, or 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part B (multiple-dose comparison with placebo): average daily LEPI scores for Weeks 1 & 2; average daily overall pain intensity scores at Week 1 and Week 2 visits and over the 2 week period; proportion of subjects using rescue [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part A: Pain intensity difference between baseline and the value at each scheduled time point for overall pain, for lower extremity pain, and for evoked lower extremity pain; [ Time Frame: 2, 4, or 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part A: the average difference between baseline and postdose evoked lower extremity pain over the 4 hours after dosing [ Time Frame: 4 hours post dosing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part A: peak evoked lower extremity pain; average difference between baseline and postdose lower extremity pain intensity at rest over the 6 hours after dosing; [ Time Frame: 6 hours post dosing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part A: percentage of subjects in each treatment group achieving a 25%, 50%, or 75% reduction in evoked lower extremity pain intensity scores at 2, 4, or 6 hours; [ Time Frame: 2, 4, or 6 hours post dosing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part A: Proportion of subjects able to walk on a treadmill for their target treadmill walking time; subject's global evaluation of study medication [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 study visits ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part B (multiple-dose comparison with placebo): average daily lower extremity pain intensity scores for Weeks 1 and 2 [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part B: Average daily overall pain intensity scores at Week 1 and Week 2 visits and over the 2 week period [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part B: Proportion of subjects using rescue medication; mean dose of rescue medication for Weeks 1 and 2 and over the 2 week period [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Part B: Subject's global evaluation of study medication at Week 1 and Week 2 visits [ Time Frame: Week 1 and Week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Reports of adverse events, and changes in the results of: clinical laboratory tests, vital signs and ECGs [ Time Frame: Trial duration ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
