This study has been completed.
First Received: November 9, 2006   Last Updated: March 3, 2008   History of Changes
Sponsored by: UCB
Information provided by: UCB
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00401830
  Purpose

This trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of 400 mg/day of lacosamide as compared to placebo in reducing the signs and symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome. After screening, the trial consists of 1 week Baseline Diary, 4 week Titration, 8 week double-blind Maintenance, 1 week Taper and 2 week Safety Follow-Up phases. Subjects are randomized to one of two treatment arms: lacosamide 400 mg/day or placebo during the double-blind Maintenance phase.

The primary variable is the average daily pain score using an 11-point Likert scale.

The secondary variables include changes in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, total myalgic score, daily interference with sleep, daily interference with general activity, Patient Global Impression of Change, and average morning/evening pain scores.

Other variables include: use of rescue medication, plasma concentrations of lacosamide, assessments of adverse events (including withdrawals), changes in Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Fibromyalgia Symptom Checklist, laboratory parameters, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and physical examinations.
