aminolevulinic acid and Pain

aminolevulinic acid has been researched along with Pain in 120 studies

Aminolevulinic Acid: A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.
5-aminolevulinic acid : The simplest delta-amino acid in which the hydrogens at the gamma position are replaced by an oxo group. It is metabolised to protoporphyrin IX, a photoactive compound which accumulates in the skin. Used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Pain: An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by NERVE ENDINGS of NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS.

Trial Outcomes

Annualized Rate of Hemin Administration in Participants With AIP

Annualized rate of hemin doses was evaluated as annualized days of hemin use. (NCT03338816)
Timeframe: 6 months

Interventionannualized rate of use (Mean)
Placebo29.71
Givosiran 2.5 mg/kg6.77

Annualized Rate of Porphyria Attacks in Participants With Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP)

Porphyria attacks were defined as meeting all of the following criteria: an acute episode of neurovisceral pain in the abdomen, back, chest, extremities and/or limbs, no other medically determined cause, and required treatment with intravenous (IV) dextrose or hemin, carbohydrates, or analgesics, or other medications such as antiemetics at a dose or frequency beyond the participant's usual daily porphyria management. The annualized rate of porphyria attacks is a composite endpoint which included porphyria attacks requiring hospitalization, urgent healthcare visit, or IV hemin administration at home. (NCT03338816)
Timeframe: 6 months

Interventionannualized attack rate (Mean)
Placebo12.52
Givosiran 2.5 mg/kg3.22

Annualized Rate of Porphyria Attacks in Participants With AHP

Porphyria attacks were defined as meeting all of the following criteria: an acute episode of neurovisceral pain in the abdomen, back, chest, extremities and/or limbs, no other medically determined cause, and required treatment with intravenous (IV) dextrose or hemin, carbohydrates, or analgesics, or other medications such as antiemetics at a dose or frequency beyond the participant's usual daily porphyria management. The annualized rate of porphyria attacks is a composite endpoint which included porphyria attacks requiring hospitalization, urgent healthcare visit, or IV hemin administration at home. (NCT03338816)
Timeframe: 6 months

Interventionannualized attack rate (Mean)

Givosiran 2.5 mg/kg3.35

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Score of Daily Worst Pain as Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in Participants With AIP

Participants rated worst daily pain score in an eDiary using the 11-point BPI-SF NRS, in which 0=no pain and 10=worst pain. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the post baseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement. The 6-month AUC was calculated based on change from baseline in weekly mean scores. (NCT03338816)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Participants rated worst daily nausea score in an eDiary using an 11-point NRS, in which 0=no nausea and 10=worst nausea. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the postbaseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement. The 6-month AUC was calculated based on change from baseline in weekly mean scores. (NCT03338816)

Change From Baseline in the Physical Component Summary (PCS) of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) in Participants With AIP

The SF-12 is a survey designed for use in patients with multiple chronic conditions. This 12-item scale can be used to assess the physical and mental health of respondents. 10 of the 12 questions are answered on a 5 point likert scale and 2 are answered on a 3 point likert scale. The questions are then scored and weighted into 2 subscales, physical health and mental health. Respondents can have a score that ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best score and indicating high physical or mental health. A 3 point change in SF-12 score reflects a meaningful difference. A higher score indicates improvement. (NCT03338816)

"The secondary will be any pain associated with the microneedle pretreatment and with the application of the PDT using the 100 mm Visual Analog Scale pain grading. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the no pain anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100.

Overall Cosmetic Outcome of the Treated Skin 12 Weeks After Last Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Compared to Baseline

The cosmetic outcome 12 weeks after the last PDT (12 weeks after 1st PDT for subjects who are completely cleared at this time point, 12 weeks after 2nd PDT for subjects retreated due to remaining lesions 12 weeks after 1st PDT) will be calculated on the basis of the skin quality assessment (skin surface, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, mottled or irregular pigmentation, degree of scarring, and atrophy) upon visual examination (scale: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, 3=severe). The cosmetic outcome is rated as very good if the sum score of the previously mentioned ratings (all ratings for each sign added up) has improved by at least 2 points as compared to baseline; as good if the sum score has improved by at least 1 point as compared to baseline; as satisfactory if the sum score is identical to the one at baseline; as unsatisfactory if the sum score has worsened by 1 point compared to baseline and as impaired if the sum score has worsened by at least 2 points compared to baseline.
