Descriptive Information
Brief Title  ICMJE Efficacy and Safety of Pregabalin vs Placebo for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Symptoms in Subjects Discontinuing Benzodiazepine Treatment and Remaining 6 Weeks on Study Medication, Free From Benzodiazepine Use.
Official Title  ICMJE A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Pregabalin in Subjects With Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) Switching From Benzodiazepine Therapy.
Brief Summary GAD subjects maintained on a stable dose of alprazolam for at least four weeks who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive pregabalin vs matching placebo while simultaneously tapering off of alprazolam over 6 weeks. Subjects return weekly for assessment of safety/tolerability of pregabalin vs placebo as well as for assessment of anxiety and benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms. Subjects successfully able to discontinue alprazolam, will continue 6 weeks of treatment with pregabalin vs placebo (free of benzodiazepine use). The efficacy and safety of pregabalin vs placebo for anxiety symptoms and ability to discontinue/remain free of alprazolam will be compared among pregabalin and placebo treated groups. Hypothesis is that a greater proportion of subjects will be successful in discontinuing and remaining free from benzodiazepines who were treated with pregabalin as compared to subjects treated with placebo.
Detailed Description Not Provided
Study Type  ICMJE Interventional
Study Phase  ICMJE Phase 3
Study Design  ICMJE Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition  ICMJE Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Intervention  ICMJE
  • Drug: Pregabalin
    GAD subjects on stable dose of alprazolam will be randomized to double-blind pregabalin at starting dose of 75mg twice daily. Weekly assessments of tolerability, need for rescue medication, anxiety/withdrawal symptoms will guide flexible dose titration of pregabalin at dose range between 75 and 300mg twice daily. Subjects successful in discontinuation of alprazolam while treated with pregabalin will continue to be maintained on pregabalin for 6 weeks and assessed weekly for ability to remain in the study.
    Other Name: Lyrica
  • Drug: Placebo
    GAD subjects on stable dose of alprazolam will be randomized to double-blind placebo matching assessments and study medication titration as detailed under the pregabalin arm description. Subjects successful in discontinuation of alprazolam while treated with placebo will continue to be maintained on placebo for 6 weeks and assessed weekly for ability to remain in the study.
Study Arms  ICMJE
  • Active Comparator: Pregabalin
    Pregabalin treatment for GAD during 6 week taper/discontinuation from alprazolam treatment; followed by 6 weeks pregabalin treatment 'alprazolam free'.
    Intervention: Drug: Pregabalin
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
    Placebo treatment of GAD during 6 week taper/discontinuation of alprazolam treatment followed by 6 weeks continuation of placebo treatment 'alprazolam free'.
    Intervention: Drug: Placebo
