Mirogabalin in Japanese Patients with Renal Impairment and Pain Associated with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy or Post-Herpetic Neuralgia: A Phase III, Open-Label, 14-Week Study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:Mirogabalin was recently approved in Japan for the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain, based on data from clinical trials in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), common clinical conditions which cause intense distress for patients. We characterized the safety and tolerability of mirogabalin in Japanese patients with renal impairment. Patients and Methods:This multicenter, open-label study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02607280) enrolled renally impaired individuals aged ?20 years diagnosed with DPNP or PHN, and with an average daily pain score (ADPS) of ?4 over the 7 days prior to treatment initiation. Mirogabalin dosage was titrated for 2 weeks, followed by a fixed dose for 12 weeks according to degree of renal impairment: 7.5 mg twice daily for moderate impairment and 7.5 mg once daily for severe impairment. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability of mirogabalin, evaluated via treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary efficacy endpoints included change in ADPS from baseline to Week 14. Results:Overall, 35 patients were enrolled (30 with moderate and 5 with severe renal impairment). Most TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity; the most commonly reported were nasopharyngitis (22.9%) and somnolence (11.4%). Only 4 patients (11.4%) discontinued treatment due to TEAEs. Mirogabalin significantly decreased ADPS from baseline in patients with renal impairment; least squares mean change from baseline at Week 14 was -1.9 (95% confidence interval: -2.8, -1.0). Conclusion:Mirogabalin was well tolerated and significantly reduced pain levels when used to treat DPNP/PHN at a fixed dose of 7.5 mg once or twice daily in patients with renal impairment.

Project description:Background and objectivesThere are limited data examining the real-world use of gabapentin and pregabalin for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). This study examines dosing patterns, therapy outcomes, healthcare utilization and costs of patients with PHN who initiate treatment with gabapentin or pregabalin.MethodsThis was a retrospective administrative claims data analysis from July 2005 to February 2010. Patients with PHN initiating gabapentin or pregabalin (index therapy) from January 2006 to February 2009 were identified and were observed for 12 months after index therapy initiation. Outcomes were mean daily dosages of the index therapy, attainment of minimally effective dosages of gabapentin (≥ 1,800 mg/day) or pregabalin (≥ 150 and ≥ 300 mg/day) persistence, discontinuation, index therapy switching, addition of neuropathic pain medications to index therapy, and healthcare resource use and costs.Results1,645 patients were identified. The mean daily dosage was 826 mg for gabapentin and 187 mg for pregabalin. Only 52.6 % of patients initiating gabapentin and 56.9 % initiating pregabalin obtained a refill during the post-index period. Approximately 14 % of patients treated with gabapentin reached the target dosage (1,800 mg/day). For pregabalin, 87 % reached ≥ 150 mg/day and 27 % reached ≥ 300 mg/day. On average, patients took 10 weeks to reach 1,800 mg/day gabapentin, and 5.0 and 9.2 weeks to reach ≥ 150 mg/day and ≥ 300 mg/day pregabalin, respectively. Approximately one-third of patients in both index therapy cohorts added a pain medication; more than half added opioids. The percentage of patients switching from either drug (57 %) or adding a therapy (34 %) were similar between index therapy cohorts; opioids were the most common therapy patients switched to or added.ConclusionIt appears that gabapentin and pregabalin are not used effectively to treat PHN. Suboptimal dosing and discontinuation may be associated with supplementary use of other analgesics, especially opioids.

Project description:IntroductionCentral neuropathic pain (CNeP) is difficult to treat and has diverse etiology, including spinal cord injury (CNePSCI), Parkinson's disease (CNePPD), and central post-stroke pain (CPSP). The safety and efficacy of mirogabalin have been demonstrated in short-term trials, including patients with CNePSCI. The objective of our study was to confirm the safety/efficacy of mirogabalin in patients with CNePPD and CPSP, and obtain long-term data for CNePSCI.MethodsThis 52-week, open-label extension of a previous randomized controlled study was conducted across Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Patients with CNePSCI, CNePPD, or CPSP received twice daily (BID) 5-10 mg mirogabalin for a 4-week titration period, after which the dosage was maintained for 47 weeks at a maximum of 15 mg BID, followed by a 1-week taper period receiving the same dose but only administered once daily. The primary endpoint was safety, assessed primarily by incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Efficacy was assessed in a post hoc analysis of data obtained by the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ).ResultsOf the 210 patients enrolled, 106, 94, and 10 had CNePSCI, CPSP, and CNePPD, respectively. The mean overall age of patients was 62.9 years, and most patients were male and of Japanese ethnicity. TEAEs occurred in 84.8% of patients, the most common being somnolence (16.7%), peripheral edema (12.4%), edema (11.4%), nasopharyngitis (11.0%), and dizziness (7.6%). Most TEAEs were mild. Severe and serious TEAEs occurred in 6.2% and 13.3% of patients, respectively. All patient groups experienced reductions in SF-MPQ visual analog scores for pain: mean ± standard deviation changes from baseline at week 52 were -2.3 ± 21.13 mm (CNePSCI), -17.0 ± 24.99 mm (CPSP), and -17.1 ± 35.32 mm (CNePPD).ConclusionMirogabalin was generally safe, well tolerated, and effective for treatment of CNeP in this long-term study.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT03901352.
