ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Daily Average Low Back Pain Intensity (LBPI) Score at Week 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 16
Daily average back pain was assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) captured through an interactive voice response system (IVRS). The participant described the chronic low back pain (CLBP) during the past 24 hours on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over 5 days prior to randomization (initial pain assessment period). Post-baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over the 7-day period prior to and including the post-baseline visit. Overall possible score range for daily average LBPI at specified visit was 0= no pain to 10= worst possible pain, where higher scores indicated higher pain intensity.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) Total Score at Week 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
RMDQ: back-specific, participant administered questionnaire that assesses how well participants with low back pain were able to function with regard to daily activities. The questionnaire consists of 24 statements and the participant is instructed to put a mark next to each appropriate statement if it describes his/her functional ability on the day of assessment. The number of statements marked are added up by the clinician. Total RMDQ score is calculated as the sum of number of statements marked. Total possible RMDQ score: 0 (best functioning) to 24 (worst functioning), with higher scores indicated greater disability.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Patient's Global Assessment (PGA) of Low Back Pain Score at Week 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
Participants answered: "Considering all ways your low back pain affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants rated their condition using scale assessing symptoms and limitations to carry out normal daily activities. Score range:1 to 5. 1: Very Good (No symptoms and limitations); 2: Good (Mild symptoms and no limitations); 3: Fair (Moderate symptoms and some limitations); 4: Poor (Severe symptoms and inability to carry out most activities); 5: Very Poor (Very severe, intolerable symptoms and inability to carry all activities).
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Daily Average Low Back Pain Intensity (LBPI) Score at Week 2, 4, 8 and 12: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12
Daily average back pain was assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) captured through an interactive voice response system (IVRS). The participant described the chronic low back pain (CLBP) during the past 24 hours on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over 5 days prior to randomization (initial pain assessment period). Post-baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over the 7-day period prior to and including the post-baseline visit.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Cumulative Reduction From Baseline at Week 16 in Daily Average Low Back Pain Intensity (LBPI) Score : Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 16
Daily average back pain was assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) captured through an interactive voice response system (IVRS). The participant described the chronic low back pain (CLBP) during the past 24 hours on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over 5 days prior to randomization (initial pain assessment period). Post-baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over the 7-day period prior to and including the post-baseline visit. Participants with specified reduction (as percent) from baseline at Week 16 are reported.

Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
Daily average back pain was assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) captured through an interactive voice response system (IVRS). The participant described the chronic low back pain (CLBP) during the past 24 hours on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over 5 days prior to randomization (initial pain assessment period). Post-baseline value was calculated as mean of the scores over the 7-day period prior to and including the post-baseline visit.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-short Form (BPI-sf) Score for Worst and Average Pain at Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
BPI-sf: self-report questionnaire rated on an 11-point scale, consists of 5 questions to assess severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Question 1-4 (Q1-Q4) measure severity of pain (worst, least, average, right now), each question ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Question 5 (Q5) consists of 7 items which measure level of interference of pain on daily functions (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life), each item ranging from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). Results are reported for worst and average pain, each with a score range: 0 (no pain) and 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine), higher scores indicated worse pain.

Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
BPI-sf: self-report questionnaire rated on an 11-point scale, consists of 5 questions to assess severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Question 1-4 (Q1-Q4) measure severity of pain (worst, least, average, right now), each question ranging between 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Question 5 (Q5) consists of 7 items which measure pain interference (PI) on daily functions (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life), each item ranging from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes); higher score = greater impairment. The 7 items in Q5 averaged to obtain pain interference index (function composite score), range: 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference); higher score = greater impairment.
SecondaryTime to Discontinuation Due to Lack of EfficacyBaseline up to Week 16Median time to discontinuation due to lack of efficacy was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Responder Index: Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF)Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16
Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) Responder Index: A response was defined as reduction of at least 30% in mean daily average LBPI from baseline to a specified week, decrease of at least 30% in PGA of low back pain from baseline to the specified week and no worsening (increase) in RMDQ total score from baseline to the specified week. Participants who were responders were reported.
