VIPOGLANSTAT

Clinical trials are investigating VIPOGLANSTAT in women with endometriosis. The main goal is to see whether it can help reduce endometriosis-related pain and whether it is safe and effective in this patient group.

Trial overview

This clinical trial is a Phase 2 study of VIPOGLANSTAT in women with endometriosis.[1] It is an interventional study, which means researchers are giving study treatment and then measuring the results.[1]

The trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of VIPOGLANSTAT for endometriosis-related pain.[1] The brief summary says the study aims to evaluate VIPOGLANSTAT on endometriosis-related NMPP.[1]

Who is being studied

The target population is women with endometriosis and endometriosis-related pain.[1] The trial data does not list more detailed eligibility rules, so the main group to know about is women affected by this condition.[1]

Endometriosis-related pain is the main condition being studied in this trial.[1] The study focuses on people who have pain outside menstrual days as part of their symptoms.[1]

What the trial measures

The main result, called the primary outcome, is the proportion of participants who have at least a 2.0-point or at least 30% reduction in their mean worst pain score, without increased opioid rescue medication use, during non-menstrual days from baseline to month 4.[1]

In simple terms, the researchers want to know how many participants get a clear drop in their worst pain and do not need more extra pain medicine.[1] The pain scale used is the NMPP NRS score, which is a number-based pain rating scale.[1]

The trial also looks at pain during non-menstrual days, which are days when the participant is not having a period.[1] This helps the researchers understand whether the treatment may improve pain beyond menstrual symptoms alone.[1]

Study design and treatment groups

The trial includes VIPOGLANSTAT capsules and a placebo that looks the same.[1] A placebo is an inactive look-alike capsule used for comparison so researchers can judge whether changes are due to the study treatment.[1]

The source data also mentions GS-248 and a placebo formulation for GS-248, but it does not provide further details about the role of these groups.[1] Because the source is limited, the clearest confirmed focus is the comparison of VIPOGLANSTAT with matching placebo capsules.[1]

Trial status and size

The trial status is Authorised, meaning it has been approved to proceed.[1] The planned enrollment is 300 participants.[1]

This size suggests the study is designed to collect enough information to better understand whether VIPOGLANSTAT may help with endometriosis-related pain in this patient group.[1] The trial is focused on a patient-centered outcome: meaningful pain improvement without more rescue opioid use.[1]

Glossary

  • Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause pain and other symptoms.
  • Endometriosis-related pain: Pain caused by endometriosis. This is the main symptom being studied in the trial.
  • Phase 2: An early stage of clinical research that looks at whether a treatment may work and gathers more safety information.
  • Interventional study: A study where researchers give a treatment or intervention and then measure the results.
  • Placebo: A look-alike treatment with no active ingredient. It helps researchers compare results fairly.
  • Primary outcome: The main result the researchers plan to measure to see if the trial is successful.
  • NRS score: A number rating scale used to measure pain. Higher numbers usually mean worse pain.
  • Opioid rescue medication: Extra pain medicine used if needed during the study. The trial checks whether pain improves without needing more of this medicine.
  • Non-menstrual days: Days when a person is not having menstrual bleeding. The trial measures pain during these days.
  • Enrollment: The number of participants planned for the study.
