Study summary

The study is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study to assess the efficacy and safety of AXS-14 in the management of fibromyalgia.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multi-center trial consisting of a 12-week open-label treatment period (OLP), followed by a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period (DBRWP). During the OLP, subjects receive open-label AXS-14. Subjects achieving treatment response will be randomized into the DBRWP in a 1:1 ratio to either continue on AXS-14 or switch to placebo for up to 12 weeks or until a loss of therapeutic response occurs.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
