About this study

Official title: A PHASE 3, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLIND, PLACEBO AND ACTIVE-CONTROLLED, MULTICENTER, PARALLEL-GROUP STUDY OF THE ANALGESIC EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF TANEZUMAB IN ADULT SUBJECTS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN

This study will investigate the efficacy and safety of tanezumab 5 mg and 10 mg administered by subcutaneous injection seven times at 8 week intervals (56 weeks). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of tanezumab 10 mg and 5 mg compared to placebo for the treatment of chronic low back pain. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of tanezumab 10 mg and 5 mg compared to placebo for the treatment of chronic low back pain. In addition, the study will evaluate the effectiveness and long term safety profile of tanezumab treatment for chronic low back pain compared to tramadol Prolonged Release (PR), a medication commonly utilized for the treatment of chronic low back pain.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo and active controlled, multicenter, parallel group Phase 3 study of the efficacy and safety of tanezumab when administered by SC injection for up to 56 weeks in subjects with chronic low back pain. Approximately 1800 subjects will be randomized to 1 of 4 treatment groups in a 2:2:2:3 ratio (ie, 400 subjects per treatment group for the placebo, tanezumab 5 mg and tanezumab 10 mg treatment groups and 600 subjects in the tramadol PR treatment group). Treatment groups will include: 1.) Placebo administered SC at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR up to Week 16. At the Week 16 visit, subjects in this group who meet the efficacy responder criteria will be switched in a blinded fashion in a 1:1 ratio to either tanezumab 5 mg or tanezumab 10 mg administered SC at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR to Week 56; 2.)Tanezumab 5 mg SC administered at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR to Week 56; 3.) Tanezumab 10 mg SC administered at an 8 week interval plus placebo matching tramadol PR to Week 56; 4.) Oral tramadol PR plus placebo administered SC at an 8 week interval to Week 56. The study is designed with a total duration (post randomization) of up to 80 weeks and will consist of three periods: Screening (up to a maximum of 37 days; includes a Washout Period and an Initial Pain Assessment Period), a Double blind Treatment Period (comprised of a 16 week Primary Efficacy Phase and a 40 week Long Term Safety and Efficacy Phase), and a Follow up Period (24 weeks). The Screening Period (beginning up to 37 days prior to Randomization) includes a Washout Period (lasting 2 32 days), if required, and an Initial Pain Assessment Period (the 5 days prior to Randomization/Baseline). Prior to entering the study, subjects must have a documented history of previous inadequate treatment response to medications in 3 different categories of agents commonly used to treat and generally considered effective for the treatment of chronic low back pain.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Average Low Back Pain Intensity (LBPI) Score for Tanezumab Versus (Vs) Placebo at Week 16

    Average low back pain was assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) captured through an interactive response technology (IRT). Participants described their average low back pain during the past 24 hours on a scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), where higher scores indicated higher pain.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Secondary outcomes (65)
  1. Change From Baseline in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) at Week 16 for Tanezumab Versus (Vs) Placebo

    The RMDQ is a self-administered, widely used health status measure index of how well participants with low back pain (LBP) are able to function with regard to daily activities. It measures pain and function, using 24 items describing limitations to everyday life that can be caused by LBP. The total score of the RMDQ from the total number of items checked ranged from 0 (no disability) to 24 (maximum disability), where higher scores indicated greater disability.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16

They responded on 5 point Likert scale ranging from 1-5, using IRT, where 1=very good (asymptomatic \& 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 \& inability to carry out most normal activities); \& 5=very poor (very severe symptoms which are intolerable and inability to carry out all normal activities). Higher scores indicated worsening of condition. % of participants with improvement of at least 2 points from baseline in PGA of LBP were reported. Missing data was imputed using BOCF/LOCF.

  29. European Quality of Life- 5 Dimension-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Dimensions Score

    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized participant completed questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life and translates that score into an index value or utility score. EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and an optional visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile is comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Individual dimension scores ranged from 1.0 (least impairment of health state) to 5.0 (most impairment of health state). Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. The health utility score for a participant with no problems in all 5 items is 1 for all countries (except for Zimbabwe where it is 0.9), and is reduced where a participant reports greater levels of problems across the five dimensions.

  31. Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire for Low Back Pain (WPAI:LBP) Scores at Baseline: Observed Data

    WPAI: LBP is 6-question participant rated questionnaire that measures the effect of participant's chronic low back pain (CLBP) on general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities. It yields 4 sub-scores: work time missed due to pain (absenteeism), impairment while working (presenteeism), overall work impairment (work productivity) and activity impairment (daily activity impairment). These sub-scores are expressed as an impairment percentage (range from 0 to 100), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Pre-specified intent of study for efficacy data up to Week 16 was to analyze, participants who received placebo from Day 1 and received tanezumab 5/10 mg at week 16 in placebo arm, in pooled manner.
