A Study for Adult Patients With Fibromyalgia

BPI Average Pain score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means changes from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with terms for treatment group, pooled investigators, baseline. Baseline-observation-carried-forward (BOCF) method used to impute endpoint value for those who discontinued initial double-blind therapy (DBT) due to adverse event (AE); last non-missing observation during initial DBT used to impute missing endpoint for all others. Analyses included all participants having non-missing baseline and endpoint.

BPI-Modified Short Form mean interference score ranges from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) for pain in past 24 hours for general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means changes from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline. Last-observation-carried forward (LOCF) endpoint defined as last available post-baseline value obtained during initial double-blind therapy.

The PGI-I scale is a patient-rated instrument that measures perceived improvement in symptoms. It is a 7-point scale: score of 1 is "very much better," 4 is "no change," and 7 is "very much worse." Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA); model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline PGI-Severity (PGI-S).

The CGI-I measures clinician's perception of patient improvement at time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

The treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline CGI-Severity (CGI-S).

The BDI-II is a 21-item, patient-completed questionnaire to assess characteristics of depression. Each of the 21 items corresponding to a symptom of depression is summed to give a single score. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 to 3 (0 = not present; 3 = present in the extreme). The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

FIQ is a 20-item self-administered questionnaire that measures fibromyalgia (FM) patient status, progress, and outcomes over the past week. The total score ranges from 0 to 80 with higher scores reflecting a more negative impact of FM. The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

The BAI is a 21-item patient-completed questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of anxiety. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0=not present; 3=present in the extreme). The total score ranges from 0 to 63; the higher the score, the more severe the anxiety symptoms.

The treatment group difference in the Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model included terms for treatment group, pooled investigators and baseline.

SF-36 has 36 items with 8 domains: physical functioning, social functioning, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, role-physical, role-emotional, general health; each scored on 0 to 100 scale. Higher scores indicate better status. Mental component summary (MCS) and physical component summary (PCS) based on 8 SF-36 domains. Scales scored using norm-based methods; mean is 50 and standard deviation is 10 in U.S. population. Treatment group difference in Least Squares (LS) Means at endpoint from analysis of covariance. Terms for treatment group, pooled investigators, baseline in model.

The C-SSRS is a scale capturing occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. The number of participants with suicidal behaviors and ideations are provided.

Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions which include: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide.

Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal ideation questions which include wish to be dead and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation.
