PrimaryChange From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) DataBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Baseline and end of treatment values are the calculated means of the daily 24-hour API scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (baseline) and the last 7 days on treatment within each period (end of treatment). Participants rated their API over the preceding 24 hours, using an 11-point PI-Numerical Rating Scale (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). LOCF was used if less than 4 days of diary data were provided. Change from baseline was calculated as end of treatment minus baseline. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
PrimaryChange From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF Data for Each Treatment PeriodBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Baseline and end of treatment values are the calculated means of the daily 24-hour API scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (baseline) and the last 7 days on treatment within each period (end of treatment). Participants used a hand-held diary to rate their average pain intensity over the preceding 24 hours, using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). LOCF was used if less than 4 days of diary data were provided. The by period summary is provided as a sensitivity analysis for the primary analysis.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Day-time Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF DataBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Day-time is defined as the time between rising in the morning and going to bed at night. Participants recorded day-time API on a daily basis in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Day-time Worst Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF DataBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Day-time worst pain is defined as the participant's assessment of their worst pain intensity between rising in the morning and going to bed at night. Day-time worst pain was recorded in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Current (Evening) Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF DataBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Current pain is defined as the participant's assessment of pain intensity "right now." Participants recorded their current evening pain intensity in the evening before bedtime using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Night-time Average Pain Intensity (API) Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCFBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Night-time is defined as the time between going to bed in the evening and rising in the morning. Participants recorded night-time API on a daily basis in the morning upon wakening using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Night-time Worst Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCFBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Night-time worst pain is defined as the participant's assessment of their worst pain intensity between going to bed and rising in the morning. Participants recorded night-time worst pain in the morning upon wakening using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for primary endpoint. Change from baseline = the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Mean Current Morning Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCFBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Current pain is defined as the participant's assessment of pain intensity "right now." Participants recorded their current morning pain intensity in the morning upon wakening using an 11-point PI-NRS (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine). Baseline and end of treatment scores are as defined for the primary endpoint. Change from baseline is calculated as the end of treatment score minus the baseline score. An ANCOVA with baseline value, BMI, grouped center as covariates was used. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Achieving Various Levels of Percent Reduction From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF DataBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Baseline and end of treatment (EOT) scores are the calculated means of the 24-hour average pain scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (Baseline) and the 7 days prior to the last on-treatment completed diary (EOT). Percent reduction from baseline was calculated as the \[(EOT score minus baseline score) divided by the baseline score\], multiplied by 100. The PI-NRS is an 11-point scale (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine) by which a participant assesses their 24-hour average pain intensity. Data are summarized by dose, independent of treatment period.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Achieving Various Levels of Percent Reduction From Baseline in the Mean 24-hour Average Pain Intensity Score at the Last Week of Each Treatment Period Using LOCF Data by PeriodBaseline and End of Treatment (Weeks 4 and 9, representing the last week of each treatment period)
Baseline and end of treatment scores are the calculated means of the 24-hour average pain scores for each participant during the last 7 days prior to randomization (Baseline) and the 7 days prior to the last on-treatment completed diary (end of treatment). Percent reduction from baseline was calculated as the \[(end of treatment score minus the baseline score) divided by the baseline score\], multiplied by 100. The PI-NRS is an 11-point scale (0=no pain, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine) by which a participant assesses their 24-hour average pain intensity. Data are summarized by period.
