Phase 3 Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Tanezumab in Patients With Cancer Pain Due to Bone Metastasis Who Are Taking Background Opioid Therapy

Daily average pain intensity in the index bone metastasis cancer pain site was assessed by participants on an 11 point pain intensity NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) where higher scores signified more severity of pain. The participants recorded their daily average pain at the painful site during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number from 0 to 10 on IRT diaries. Baseline daily average pain intensity value was mean of the daily average pain intensity NRS scores during the baseline assessment period prior to randomization. Baseline assessment period was up to 5 days prior to dosing. The Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 16 and 24 daily average pain intensity value was the mean of the daily average pain intensity NRS scores recorded for each of the 7 days prior to the each specified week.

Daily worst pain intensity in the index bone metastasis cancer pain site is assessed by participants on an 11 point pain intensity NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), higher scores signified more severity of pain. The participants describe their daily worst pain at the painful site during the past 24 hours by choosing the appropriate number from 0 to 10 on IRT diaries. Baseline daily worst pain intensity was mean of daily worst pain intensity NRS score during the baseline assessment period prior to randomization.

The Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 daily worst pain intensity value was the mean of the daily worst pain intensity NRS scores recorded for each of the 7 days prior to the each specified week.

Weekly average pain intensity in the non-index cancer pain site was assessed by participants on an 11 point pain intensity NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), where higher scores signified more severity of pain. Non-index cancer pan sites were the most painful cancer pain sites other than the index bone metastasis cancer pain site. The participants described their weekly pain at the painful site by choosing the appropriate number from 0 to 10 on IRT diaries. Baseline weekly average pain intensity was weekly average pain intensity NRS score recorded on any day during the baseline assessment period.

Participants at specified time points, answered to the following question, "Considering all the ways your cancer pain affects you, how are you doing today?" on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, on IRT diaries. Scores: 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 scores signified worsening of condition.

In this outcome measure average daily opioid consumption was reported in milligram of morphine equivalent dose (mg of MED).

In this outcome measure average number of doses of rescue opioid consumption at specified time points were reported.

OR-SDS: questionnaire evaluated opioid-related 12 symptoms. For each symptom, participants assigned integer scores to assess severity (none =0 to very severe =4), distress (none =0 to very much =5), and frequency (none =0 to almost constantly =4; participants reported number of retching/vomiting episodes (none =0, 1-2 episodes =1, 3-4 episodes =2, 5-6 episodes =3, >6 episodes =4). Frequency composite score: mean of frequency scores from all symptoms, ranged from 0 (none) to 4 (almost constantly); higher scores = worse condition. Severity composite score: mean of severity scores from all 12 symptoms, ranged from 0 (none) to 4 (maximum severity); higher scores = worse condition. Distress composite score: mean of distress scores from all 12 symptoms, ranged from 0 (none) to 5 (maximum distress); higher scores = worse condition. Multi domain average (MDA): average of each symptom for frequency, severity, and distress; ranged from 0 (none) to 4.34 (worse); higher scores = worse condition.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious adverse event (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 were events between first dose of study drug and up to 24 weeks post last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and all non-serious AEs. Participants were followed up to 24 weeks after study drug last dose.

Electrocardiogram assessment included QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF), QT interval corrected using Bazett's formula (QTcB), both had following categories: 450<=Value<480 millisecond (msec), 480<=Value<500 msec and Value>=500 msec.

Orthostatic hypotension was defined as postural change (supine to standing) that met the following criteria: for systolic blood pressure (BP) less than or equal to (<=) 150 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) (mean supine): reduction in systolic BP >=20 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP >=10 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. For systolic BP greater than (>) 150 mmHg (mean supine): reduction in systolic BP >=30 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP >=15 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. If the 1 minute or 3 minute standing BP in a sequence met the orthostatic hypotension criteria, then that sequence was considered positive. If 2 of 2 or 2 of 3 sequences were positive, then orthostatic hypotension was considered confirmed.

The number of participants with clinically significant findings in weight measurement and were counted as an AE in the study were reported in this outcome measure.

Physical examination included assessment of general, head, eyes, ears, nose, neck, thyroid, lungs, heart, abdomen, extremities, skin, throat and other. Investigator judged abnormality in physical examinations.

Joint-related safety events resulting in total joint replacement and/or discontinuation from the study as well as adverse events were reviewed by the External Adjudication Committee to confirm the potential events as adjudicated join safety event. In this outcome measure, number of participants with any of the joint safety adjudication outcomes of primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (OA) (type 1 and type 2), subchondral insufficiency fracture (or SPONK), or pathological fracture were reported. Other adjudication outcomes included normal progression of OA and other joint outcome.

Number of participants with joint replacement surgery were reported.

Human serum ADA samples were analyzed for the presence or absence of anti-tanezumab antibodies by using a semi quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Number of participants with presence of anti-tanezumab antibodies and neutralizing anti-drug antibodies are reported.
