What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PD-0332334Drug

    Also called imagabalin

    Dosage from: 50-100 mg oral capsule Dosage and frequency: 50-350 mg once or twice a day Duration: 6 months

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Discontinuations due to adverse events or adverse events occurring during and after the discontinuation of trial medication

    Measured: Weekly

  2. The nature, incidence, duration, and severity of adverse events.

    Measured: Weekly

  3. Suicide related adverse events will be further assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale as needed

    Measured: As needed

  4. The primary outcome is safety which will be assessed throughout the 6-months by physical exams, monitoring of vital signs, body weight changes, and clinical safety laboratory

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT, & at FU; Vital signs at every vist

  5. Electrocardiograms will be performed to assess any changes in cardiac functioning related to the compound

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Wk 4, Wk 15 & Wk 26/EOT

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Symptom severity of generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) will be measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A).

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Wk 1-2, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT & Wk 27 (FU)

  2. Overall Health Care utilization will be assessed with the Health Care Utilization (HCU) questionnaire.

    Measured: Twice at Wk 13 and Wk 26/EOT

  3. Also, the Daily Diary (including the Daily assessment of Symptoms DAS-A and Global Anxiety - Visual Analog Scale (GA-VAS) and the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) will be used to assess symptoms of GAD.

    Measured: Screening, Baseline, Wk 1-2, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT

  4. Plasma concentrations will be collected to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics and the dose/exposure relationships for safety and efficacy .

    Measured: 1 time

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing PD-0332334 in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Discontinuations due to adverse events or adverse events occurring during and after the discontinuation of trial medication (time frame: Weekly). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
