Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week 12 After Trial Entry in Osteoarthritis Pain Measured on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale Score.Baseline to Week 12/Early Termination

The pain in subjects with osteoarthritis was measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale score. The WOMAC pain subscale score is calculated as the average of the visual analogue scale (VAS) scores from 5 pain subscale questions. Subjects mark the VAS, which is a horizontal line 100 mm in length, with a single vertical line to indicate their pain level over the last 24 hours, with 0 mm representing "No Pain" and 100 mm representing "Extreme Pain".

The WOMAC pain subscale score difference is calculated as the WOMAC pain subscale score assessed at Week 12 minus the WOMAC pain subscale score assessed at baseline.
