ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in the Mean Average Pain Intensity (PI) Score on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS)From baseline to the 1 week period prior to the Week 12 visit
Baseline is defined as the mean of the available Average PI scores on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS) over the 7-day Baseline Period. For the scheduled post-randomization visits, mean Average Pain Intensity is defined as the means of the respective PI scores over the 7 days preceding the visit. If there is only one daily PI score available, the mean is not calculated, and the data point is considered missing. PI = Pain Intensity. Higher scores indicate more pain intensity; lower scores less pain intensity. Scale range 0-10.
SecondaryChange in Mean Average Pain Intensity Score (PI) Score on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS)From baseline to weeks 4, 8, 16, 20, and 24
Baseline is defined as the mean of the available Average PI scores on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS) over the 7-day Baseline Period. For the scheduled post-randomization visits, mean Average Pain Intensity is defined as the means of the respective PI scores over the 7 days preceding the visit. If there is only one daily PI score available, the mean is not calculated, and the data point is considered missing. PI = Pain Intensity. Higher scores indicate more pain intensity; lower scores less pain intensity. Scale range 0-10.
SecondaryNumber of Suboptimal Responders With Pain Intensity (PI) Score Improvement Relative to Baseline PI Measured on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS)Weeks 12 and 24
Percent pain intensity difference (PID) relative to baseline is defined as 100\* ((baseline Average PI - mean Average PI at visit)/baseline Average PI). The percentages are based on number of subjects in the Intent-to-Treat set per treatment group. PI is measured on the Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS). Higher scores indicate more pain intensity; lower scores less pain intensity. Scale range 0-10. This outcome measure applies only to Suboptimal Responders.
SecondaryNumber of Suboptimal Responders With Pain Intensity (PI) Score Worsening Relative to Baseline PI Measured on the 0-10 Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS)Weeks 12 and 24
Percent pain intensity difference (PID) relative to baseline is defined as 100\* ((baseline Average PI - mean Average PI at visit)/baseline Average PI). The percentages are based on number of subjects in the Intent-to-Treat set per treatment group. PI is measured on the Numerical Ratings Scale (NRS). Higher scores indicate more pain intensity; lower scores less pain intensity. Scale range 0-10. This outcome measure applies only to Optimal Responders.
SecondaryChange From Baseline on Sleep Quality Measured by Medical Outcomes Study (MOS)Weeks 12 and 24
The MOS Sleep Scale is a 12-item questionnaire which measures sleep quality in 7 scales over the past 4 weeks: sleep disturbance, snoring, sleep short of breath or headache, sleep adequacy, sleep somnolence, and 2 sleep problems indexes. In addition, the average hours of sleep over the past 4 weeks is recorded as a raw measure and also coded as an optimal sleep index. The MOS is scored and the sleep scales calculated according to the MOS Sleep Scale User's Manual v1.0 (Spritzer and Hays, 2003). The scores on the dimensions and the sleep indices were converted to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores reflecting more of the attribute implied by the name (e.g. greater sleep disturbance, greater sleep adequacy of sleep).
SecondaryParticipants Sleep Quantity Measured by Medical Outcomes Study (MOS)4 weeks prior to baseline and prior to 12 and 24 week visitsOptimal Sleep Index is based on the average number of hours of sleep each night during the past 4 weeks. Index=1 represents 7-8 hours and Index=0 represents \< 7 hours or \> 8 hours.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-8)Weeks 12 and 24
The PHQ-8 is an 8-item questionnaire that aims at assessing the level of mood of a subject. Each item is scored from 0 = "not at all" to 3= "nearly every day"; the total score, which is the sum of the score for each item, can be from 0 to 24. A score ≥10 is considered major depression and ≥20 is severe major depression.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Reporting Major or Severe Major Depression Using Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-8)Baseline, 12 and 24 week visit
The PHQ-8 is an 8-item questionnaire that aims at assessing the level of depression of a subject. Each item is scored from 0 = "not at all" to 3= "nearly every day"; the total score, which is the sum of the scores for each item, can be from 0 to 24. A score \>= 10 is considered major depression and \>= 20 is severe major depression.
SecondaryParticipant Reported Quality of Life Assessment Using EQ-5D-5L Standardized InstrumentBaseline and weeks 12, 24
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-administered general measure of health outcome applicable to a wide range of health conditions and treatments.The EQ-5D-5L measures quality of life in 5 dimensions: Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/discomfort, and Anxiety/depression. Each is rated in 5 levels from no problems/pain/anxiety to being unable/extreme pain/extreme anxiety. The responses for each category are summarized by treatment and visit with frequencies and percentages reporting each level.
SecondaryParticipant Reported Quality of Life Assessment Using Visual Analog Scale (EQ-5D-5L Standardized Instrument)Baseline to 12 and 24 week visit
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-administered general measure of health outcome applicable to a wide range of health conditions and treatments. The visual analog scale (VAS) rates the subject's health on a 0-100 scale from the worst imaginable health state to the best imaginable health state.
SecondaryDigit Symbol Substitution TestChange from Baseline to 12 and 24 week visit
Overall neuropsychological function is assessed using the DSST, a test that is sensitive to brain damage, dementia, age, and depression, and is a widely used instrument for measuring the neuropsychological effects of opioid therapy. The digits (1-9) are paired with symbols, and the test consists of matching the symbol for a series of digits as fast as possible. Score is number of correct symbols in 90 seconds. A decrease from baseline detects deterioration in processing speed. An increase from baseline detects improvement in processing speed.
SecondaryPatient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)Baseline to 12 and 24 week visit
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the participant's level of improvement/worsening from the beginning to the end of treatment. Participants are asked to select the category of change that most closely describes any change experienced in the pain of their painful areas from the beginning of the Blinded Structured Opioid Discontinuation Period to Week 12 and to Week 24. The scale has levels describing change as: very much improved, much improved, minimally improved, no change, minimally worse, much worse, very much worse.
SecondarySexual Function Measured Using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) for Men and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) for WomenChange from Baseline to 12 and 24 week visit
For the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)(15-items) each question is scored on a scale of 0 or 1 to 5, with 0 as no sexual attempts, 1 as the highest frequency, and 5 as the lowest, except where 1=1-2, 2=3-4, 3=5-6, 4=7-10 attempts, and 5=11 or more attempts. Missing responses are scored as 0. For the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)(19 items) each question is scored on a scale of 0-5 or 1-5. The FSFI examines the following 6 domains with minimum and maximum scores as indicated: desire(1.2-6.0), arousal(0-6.0), lubrication(0-6.0), orgasm(0-6.0), satisfaction(0.8-6.0), and pain(0-6.0). A computational formula sums the scores within each domain and multiplies that sum by a prescribed weighting factor: desire 0.6, arousal 0.3, lubrication 0.3, orgasm 0.4, satisfaction 0.4, pain 0.4. Higher scores indicate greater functionality. The single final score range is 2.0 to 36, which is reported as an average for each group of female study participants as change from baseline.
