Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in Mean Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score From Baseline to Last 5 Days of Treatment
From baseline to day 28

Change of mean pain intensity from 5-day baseline to the last 5 days of treatment, measured twice daily with NRS (12 hours recall). Mean pain intensity for 5-day baseline period (evening Day -6 to moning Day-1) and mean pain intensity for last 5 days on treatment (ie, last dose day and the 4 preceding calendar days) was calculated based on the numerical rating scale (NRS)(0-10). 0=No pain, 10=Worst pain imaginable.

Frequently asked questions about AZD2066

What is AZD2066?

AZD2066 is an investigational small molecule developed by AstraZeneca PLC for chronic pain, general pain, and reflux episodes. It has been studied in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, including a Phase 2 trial in painful diabetic neuropathy. It is not approved for any indication.

What does AZD2066 target?

AZD2066 targets GRM5, also known as the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). It acts as a modulator of this receptor. GRM5 is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in glutamate signaling, and modulating it is being explored for pain and other conditions.

Who is developing AZD2066?

AZD2066 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating AZD2066 in pain and reflux-related conditions.

What phase is AZD2066 in?

AZD2066 is in Phase 1 clinical development, with completed Phase 1 trials and a completed Phase 2 trial. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any regulatory agency for any indication.

What clinical trials is AZD2066 in?

AZD2066 has been studied in completed trials including NCT00930306 (a Phase 1 cocktail study in chronic pain), NCT00857623 (a Phase 2 trial in painful diabetic neuropathy), NCT00829088 (a Phase 1 excretion study), and NCT00813306 (a Phase 1 proof-of-principle study in reflux episodes).
