PGA: Participants answered the following question: "Considering all the ways the OA in your index (knee/hip) affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants rated their condition by using a 5-point Likert scale: 1) very good (asymptomatic and no limitation of normal activities); 2) good (mild symptoms and no limitation of normal activities); 3) fair (moderate symptoms and limitation of some normal activities); 4) poor (severe symptoms and inability to carry out most normal activities); and 5) very poor (very severe symptoms which are intolerable and inability to carry out all normal activities). Higher score indicated severe condition.

SF-36v2: standardized survey evaluating 8 health concepts (physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, bodily pain, general health, vitality, mental health). Total score for each health concept was scaled 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning). For obtaining physical and mental component scores, z-score for each scale = (observed score - mean score for general 1990 United States [US] population)/corresponding standard deviation. The 2 component scores were obtained by multiplying each aspect z-score by physical or mental factor score coefficient (1990 general US population) and summing the eight products. Component scores indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive z-score [better functioning])/lower (in case of negative z-score [worse functioning]) participant's value was relative to the mean of the reference population. Change from baseline >0 indicates an improvement.

EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. Health State Profile component assesses level of current health for 5 domains/items: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression. Each item has 3 possible responses: no problems (level 1), some problems (level 2), and extreme problems (level 3). Scoring formula developed by EuroQol Group assigns a utility value for each domain in the profile. Score is transformed and results in a total score range -0.594 to 1.000; higher score indicates a better health state.

NIS: 74 items, assess muscle weakness, reflexes and sensation; scored separately for left, right limbs (37 items for each side). Components of muscle weakness are 24 items and scored on scale 0 (normal) to 4 (paralysis), higher score=greater weakness. Components of reflexes and sensation are 13 items and scored 0 = normal, 1= decreased, or 2 = absent. Total NIS score is the sum of the left and right limb scores. Total possible NIS score range 0 to 244, higher score=greater impairment.

Human serum samples were analyzed for the presence or absence of anti-tanezumab antibodies by using the semi-quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Only participants receiving tanezumab were to be analyzed for this measure. A participant may be represented in more than 1 category.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 112 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included SAEs as well as non-serious AEs which occurred during the trial.

Pre-specified opioid-related adverse events: fatigue, drowsiness, inability to concentrate, nausea, dizziness, constipation, itching, difficulty urinating, confusion and vomiting. Number of participants who experienced any of the pre-specified opioid-related adverse event are reported. Pre-specified opioid-related adverse events were assessed according to severity: mild (did not interfere with participant's usual function); moderate (interfered to some extent with participant's usual function); and severe (interfered significantly with participant's usual function).

Adverse event of abnormal peripheral sensation: allodynia, burning sensation, decreased vibratory sense, dysaesthesia, hyperaesthesia, hyperpathia, hypoaesthesia, neuralgia, neuritis, neuropathy peripheral, pallanesthesia, paraesthesia, paraesthesia oral, peripheral sensory neuropathy, polyneuropathy, sensory disturbance, sensory loss and thermohypoaesthesia. Adverse event of abnormal peripheral sensation was assessed according to severity: mild (did not interfere with participant's usual function); moderate (interfered to some extent with participant's usual function); and severe (interfered significantly with participant's usual function).

Plasma concentration of tanezumab was measured using a validated, sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Only participants receiving tanezumab were to be analyzed for this measure.

Serum samples were analyzed for determining total NGF concentration. Total NGF was analyzed using a validated, sensitive, and specific immune-affinity enrichment liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric (IA/LC/MS/MS) method.
