| Cryptogenic Sensory Polyneuropathy | Drug: Nortriptyline Drug: Duloxetine Drug: Pregabalin Drug: Mexiletine | Phase 4 |
The goal of this research project is to find the best drug for the treatment of pain in patients with CSPN. While the pharmaceutical industry has focused attention on drugs for treating diabetic sensory neuropathy (DSPN), and two drugs are now FDA approved, there have not been any prospective trials in CSPN. And, because there are no studies with CSPN patients, insurance carriers often reject authorizing prescriptions for some drugs for patients with CSPN.
There are four drugs that will be tested in this study: nortriptyline, duloxetine, pregabalin and mexiletine. These drugs are not approved by the FDA for the treatment of CSPN and are considered "investigational" in this study.
There are two periods in this study: Screening/Baseline and Study Drug. During the Screening/Baseline period the researchers will determine eligibility for potential subjects. During the second period, eligible patients who consented to participate will take the study drug. Participants will be randomized to receive one of the four drugs in this study. Participants will know which drug they are taking. Participants will not be allowed to switch groups and receive a different drug during the study.
This study uses an adaptive study design. This means the study can enroll less participants and provide better conclusions. The study design allows the researchers the ability to make changes to the approach of the study or to stop the study early if there are strong results.

Experimental: Nortriptyline
Nortriptyline - 25 mg daily for 1 week at bedtime, then 50 mg daily at bedtime for 1 week, then 75 mg daily at bedtime for the remainder of the study.
|
Drug: Nortriptyline |
|
Experimental: Duloxetine
Duloxetine - 20 mg daily for 1 week, then 40 mg daily for 1 week, then 60 mg daily for the remainder of the study.
|
Drug: Duloxetine |
|
Experimental: Pregabalin
Pregabalin - 100 mg at bedtime for 1 week, then 100 mg 2 times per day for 1 week, then 100 mg 3 times per day for the remainder of the study.
|
Drug: Pregabalin |
|
Experimental: Mexiletine
Mexiletine - 200 mg at bedtime for 1 week, then 200 mg 2 times per day for 1 week, then 200 mg 3 times per day for the remainder of the study.

Drug: Mexiletine |
- Co-Primary Measures: Percent of Patients With at Least a 50% Decrease in Likert Pain Scale From Baseline to Week 12 Follow Up and Percent of Patients That Quit [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]The final outcome of the study is a combination of two endpoints, efficacy and quit or treatment discontinuation rates. The first endpoint was a patient responder-defined measure of efficacy. A patient was deemed efficacious if a 50% or more reduction was observed in the Likert pain-scale from the baseline visit to the 12 week visit (i.e. 6 at baseline to 3 or less at week 12). The second endpoint was the observed percentage of patients who discontinued treatment prior to the last follow up visit for any reason or were lost to follow up. The utility function, which combines efficacy and quit rates, was used to drive the adaptive randomization, stopping criteria, and final analysis conclusions.
- SF12 Health Composite Scores [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
SF-12v2® Health Survey Standard The Optum™ SF-12v2® Health Survey is a shorter version of the SF-36v2® Health Survey that uses just 12 questions to measure functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view.
Survey provides psychometrically-based physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores.
Scores are calibrated so that 50 is the average score or norm, standard deviation = 10.
Higher scores indicate better health for both mental and physical component summary scores.
- PROMIS Pain Interference Short Form v1.0 8a T Score [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
Higher scores for pain interference represents worse outcome (more pain interference) T-score metric: 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population.
On the T-score metric: A score of 40 is one SD lower than the mean of the reference population; A score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population.
- PROMIS Fatigue Short Form v1.0 8a [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ]
Higher scores for fatigue represents worse outcome (more fatigue). T-score metric: 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population.
On the T-score metric: A score of 40 is one SD lower than the mean of the reference population; A score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population.
- PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form v1.0 8a [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
Higher scores for sleep disturbance represents worse outcome (more sleep disturbance).
T-score metric: 50 is the mean of a relevant reference population and 10 is the standard deviation (SD) of that population.
On the T-score metric: A score of 40 is one SD lower than the mean of the reference population; A score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population.
Higher scores equals more of the concept being measured
