Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether LY3526318 is efficacious and safe in relieving chronic low back pain (CLBP). This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol H0P-MC-CPMP (NCT05986292) which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.

- •Have surgery planned during the study for any reason, related or not to the disease state under evaluation.
- •Have, in the judgment of the investigator, an acute, serious, or unstable medical condition or a history or presence of any other medical illness that would preclude study participation.

Arms & Interventions
LY3526318
Participants received 250 mg of LY3526318 orally, once daily for the first 4 weeks of treatment period and were switched to placebo once daily for the next 4 weeks of the treatment period.
Intervention: LY3526318 (Drug)
Placebo
Participants received placebo orally, once daily, for 8-weeks treatment period.
Intervention: Placebo (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline for Average Pain Intensity as Measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at Week 4
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The NRS was used to describe pain severity. Participants were asked to describe their average pain over the past 24 hours, on a scale of 0 to 10: 0 = no pain, and 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine. Posterior mean change from baseline, 95 percent (%) credible interval was derived using Bayesian mixed model repeated measures. Data presented are posterior mean with 95% credible interval.
Secondary Outcomes
- Total Amount of Rescue Medication Use as Measured by Average Daily Dosage(Week 8)
- Change From Baseline for Worst Pain Intensity as Measured by NRS(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline on the EuroQuality of Life Five Dimensions (5D) Five Level (5L) Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Health State Index (United States Algorithm)(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline for Average Pain Intensity as Measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline on the Sleep Scale From the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS Sleep Scale) - Average Hours of Sleep(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline on the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)(Baseline, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline for Overall Improvement as Measured by Patient's Global Impression of Change(Baseline, Week 8)
