结局指标
主要结局
Time to Efficacy Failure (TTEF) - Primary Responders
时间窗: Day 1 of double-blind treatment phase to the first documented efficacy failure (up to 28 days)
Participants rated their pain twice daily using a 0 to 10 scale with 0=no pain and 10=worst pain you can imagine. The participant's average evening pain intensity scores over the last 3 days of screening period and of run-in period were defined as the run-in baseline score and treatment baseline score, respectively. A primary responder was defined as a participant who had a ≥30% decrease in treatment baseline score relative to run-in baseline score. Efficacy failure was defined as an occurrence of 3 consecutive days, or 4 days in a row with only one day missing and the other 3 days with a daily evening pain intensity score ≥4 and an increase of ≥30% in daily evening pain intensity score relative to treatment baseline score. The time to efficacy failure for primary responders was summarized.
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced 1 or More Adverse Events (AE)
时间窗: up to 42 days (up to 14 days for run-in; up to 28 days for active treatment period)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the drug. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study drug is also an AE.
Percentage of Participants Who Were Discontinued Form the Study Due to an AE
时间窗: up to 7 days for run-in; up to 14 days for active treatment period)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the use of the drug. Any worsening of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the study drug is also an AE. Adverse Events that were reported as the cause for discontinuation of the study drug were recorded.
