Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participants fulfilling the following criteria in the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia
- •Participants with pain rated severity 4 or over by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) - average pain severity item (Question 3)
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants with serious cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, respiratory, or hematological disease, or clinically significant laboratory or electrocardiogram abnormality which indicate a serious medical problem or require significant intervention in the judgment of the investigators
- •Participants with alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase of not less than 100 international units per liter (IU/L) or total bilirubin of not less than 1.6 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
- •Participants with serum creatinine level of not less than 2.0 mg/dL, participant who has undergone kidney transplantation or hemodialysis
- •Participants with pain difficult to discriminate from pain associated with fibromyalgia or disease which disturbs the assessment
- •Participants with treatment-refractory fibromyalgia
- •Participants with thyroidal dysfunction, excluding those assessed by the investigator that the disorder is controlled as appropriate by 3-month or longer drug therapy
- •Participants with present or past history of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, infectious arthritis, or auto immune disease rather than thyroid deficiency
- •Participants with an axis I condition according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), currently or within the past year, except for major depressive disorders
- •Participants with a lifetime diagnosis of bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder; or any other disorder with psychotic symptoms - based on the clinical opinion of the investigator
- •Participants with personality disorder or mental retardation

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to 10 Weeks in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (MMRM)
Time Frame: Baseline, 10 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). LS mean was calculated using an MMRM approach including administration groups, observation points, and interaction between the administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates; a linear model with unstructured error variance was applied.
Change From Baseline to 2 Weeks in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (MMRM)
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). LS mean was calculated using an MMRM approach including administration groups, observation points, and interaction between the administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates; a linear model with unstructured error variance was applied.
Change From Baseline to 6 Weeks in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (MMRM)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). LS mean was calculated using an MMRM approach including administration groups, observation points, and interaction between the administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates; a linear model with unstructured error variance was applied.
Change From Baseline to 14-Week Endpoint in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (MMRM)
Time Frame: Baseline, 14 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). Least squares (LS) mean was calculated using a mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRM) approach including administration groups, observation points, and interaction between the administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates; a linear model with unstructured error variance was applied.
Change From Baseline to 4 Weeks in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (MMRM)
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). LS mean was calculated using an MMRM approach including administration groups, observation points, and interaction between the administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates; a linear model with unstructured error variance was applied.
Change From Baseline up to 14-Week Endpoint in the BPI 24-Hour Average Pain Severity Item of the BPI-Modified Short Form Score (ANCOVA)
Time Frame: Baseline, up to 14 weeks
BPI 24-hour average pain severity is a self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. Severity scores ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). LS mean was calculated using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) approach including administration groups as fixed effects, and BPI average pain severity at baseline and the presence or absence of major depressive disorder as covariates.
