A Phase 2 interventional study of BIIB074 and Placebo in Small Fiber Neuropathy and Diabetes Mellitus, sponsored by Biogen. Terminated at 97 sites in 14 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-05-05.
Sponsored by Biogen · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BIIB074 in treating pain experienced by participants with confirmed small fiber neuropathy (SFN) that is idiopathic or associated with diabetes mellitus. A secondary endpoint that relates to the primary objective is the change from Randomization to Week 12 of the double-blind period in mean average daily pain score.
The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the effect on worst pain, neuropathic pain quality, sleep interference due to pain, patient global impression, use of rescue medication, and SFN symptoms in participants treated with BIIB074; to investigate the safety and tolerability of BIIB074 in participants with SFN; and to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB074 in participants with SFN.

Key Exclusion Criteria:
NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Average Daily Pain (ADP) Score
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Change from Randomization in Weekly Mean ADP Score
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean ADP scores for Randomization (the 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the double-blind period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Randomization and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Worst Daily Pain (WDP) Score
Participants will rate their WDP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean WDP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the WDP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Change from Baseline in Weekly Mean Sleep Interference Numerical Rating Scale (S-NRS)
Participants will rate their S-NRS using an 11-point NRS (0=pain does not interfere with sleep and 10= pain completely interferes with sleep) and record their score in an eDiary. Weekly mean S-NRS scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the daily S-NRS scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Change from Baseline in Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Total Score and Sum Score
Participant will use the NPSI questionnaire to rate different symptoms of neuropathic pain. The NPSI includes ten items related to different pain descriptors (e.g. burning and pressure) that are rated on an 11-point NRS (0=no symptoms to 10=worst symptoms imaginable). A score in each dimension and also a total score (from 0-100) is generated using data from the questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of Double-Blind Period
Proportion of Participants with at least a 2-point Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Proportion of Participants with at least a 30% Reduction from Baseline in Weekly Mean ADP
Participants will rate their ADP using an 11-point NRS) (0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain) and record their score in an electronic diary (eDiary). Weekly mean ADP scores for Baseline (the 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment in the open-label run-in period) and Week 12 (the 7 days prior to the visit at the end of Week 12) will be derived from the ADP scores and calculated as the mean of the daily scores over the last 7 days.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of Double-Blind Period
Mean Weekly Amount of Rescue Medication
Use of rescue medication (paracetamol/acetaminophen) will be monitored and dosage will be recorded on a daily basis by the participant using an electronic Diary (eDiary). Mean weekly amount of rescue medication used for neuropathic pain during the double-blind period.
Time frame: Weekly from Baseline to Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
PGIC is a 7-point self-administered scale that depicts changes in a participant's overall status. Participants will rate their change as "1=very much improved," "2=much improved," "3=minimally improved," "4=no change," "5=minimally worse," "6=much worse," or "7=very much worse."
Time frame: Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Change from Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Interference Score
The BPI-SF is a 7-item self-administered questionnaire that measures how much pain has interfered with daily functioning. Participants will rate the level of pain interference on daily functioning on an 11-point NRS where 0=does not interfere and 10=completely interferes.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12 of the Double-Blind Period
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During Double-Blind Period
AEs: any sign, symptom, or diagnosis/disease that is unfavorable or unintended, that is new, or if pre-existing, worsens in participants administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAEs: an event that results in death; an event that, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); an outcome that results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect diagnosed in a child of a participant; an event that requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization; an event that results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. Any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.
