RN624 For Pain Of Post-Herpetic Neuralgia

Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11--point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Week 6 score was calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days. The change from baseline was calculated using difference between Week 6 mean score and Baseline mean score.

Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11--point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Post Baseline weekly scores were calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days prior to corresponding week visits. The change from baseline was calculated using difference between post baseline weekly mean score and the Baseline mean score.

Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Scores for each time interval over the weeks were calculated from the mean of daily pain score of participants over that specified duration. Change from baseline was calculated as the average of each specified week interval (Week 1 to 4, 1 to 8, 1 to 12, 5 to 8, 5 to 12 and 5 to 16) values minus the baseline value.

mBPI-sf is a self-administered questionnaire (5 questions) to assess pain severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Questions 1 to 4 measure the magnitude of pain (Q1 for worst, Q2 for least, Q3 for average and Q4 for pain right now) on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicate less pain. Question 5 consists of 7 item subsets which measure the level of interference of pain on daily functions: 1: general activity, 2: mood, 3: walking ability, 4: normal work, 5: relations with other, 6: sleep, 7: enjoyment of life. Each item assessed on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference), where lower scores indicate less interference of pain. Pain severity score was derived from the sum of responses of questions 1-4 and ranged from 0 (no pain) to 40 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicates less pain. Results are reported for worst pain score, average pain score and pain severity score.

Participants were counted more than once in different categories.

Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11--point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Week 6 score was calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days before Week 6 visit.

Post-baseline weekly scores were calculated as the mean of average daily pain NRS scores over the past 7 days for each specified time point. Number of participants with >=30% or >=50% of reduction in average daily pain scores from baseline at Week 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 were reported.

Time to achieve >=30% or >=50% sustained reduction from baseline (defined as reduction from baseline that was maintained for a total of 4 consecutive days) in average daily pain score was summarized using the Kaplan-Meier estimates. Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain.

Total duration of response was defined as total number of days with a reduction of >=30% or >=50% in average daily pain score from baseline to Week 16. Participants assessed their average daily pain during the past 24 hours on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicating less pain. Total duration with at least of >=30% or >=50% percent reduction in average daily pain NRS scores from Baseline to Week 16 were reported.

mBPI-sf:questionnaire (5 questions) to assess pain severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Questions 1-4 assess magnitude of pain(Q1 for worst, Q2 for least, Q3 for average and Q4 for pain right now) on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) with lower scores indicate less pain. Question 5 consists 7 item subsets which assess level of interference of pain on daily functions: 1: general activity (GA),2: mood, 3: walking ability, 4: normal work (NW),5: relations with other,6: sleep, 7: enjoyment of life. Each item assessed on an 11-point NRS ranging from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference), where lower scores =less interference of pain. These 7 items were averaged to obtain pain interference composite score (CS), ranging from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference), where lower scores =less interference of pain. Change from baseline in mBPI-sf score for pain interference with CS score, GA subtest and NW subtest were reported.

Patient's global assessment of pain from post-herpetic neuralgia assessed participant's overall impression of disease activity. Participants answered: "Considering all the ways your pain from post-herpetic neuralgia, how are you doing today?". Participants responded using a 5--point Likert scale with a score of 1 being the best (very good) and a score of 5 being the worst (very poor) with lower scores indicating better condition. Number of participants who reported a change from Baseline of -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 in Patient's Global Assessment of Pain scores at each specified time-point were presented.

Participants provided their response for patient's global evaluation of study medication by answering a question. Participants answered: "In all ways, how would you rate your overall response to the study medication today?" Participants responded using a 4-¬point likert scale where 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good and 4 = excellent. Higher score indicating better overall response to the treatment. Number of participants with each response level (poor, fair, good and excellent) were reported.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. 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.

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). Participants tested positive for ADA response on at least one post-baseline visit were reported. Participants with ADA titer level >=4.32 for PF-04383119 were considered as ADA positive.

HVLT-R was a word-list learning and memory test used to assess the changes in memory. The task was repeated, for a total of 3 learning trials. After a delay interval of 20 to 25 minutes, delayed recall trial was administered. 1)Learning efficiency: Assessed by examining the learning curve over 3 learning trials and by evaluating the sum of the scores for all 3 learning trials. Raw scores for each of the 3 learning trials were summed for the total recall (TR) score. The TR score ranges from 0 to 36, where higher scores indicated greater verbal learning and recall, 2) Ability to access newly learned information: Assessed by the number of words retained on the delayed recall (DR) trial and the percentage of words recalled from the word list. DR trial score ranges from 0 to 12, where higher scores indicated greater verbal learning and recall.

AUCinf = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-inf).

Area under the plasma concentration time-curve from time zero to the time of last measured concentration (AUClast).

Plasma concentration of tanezumab at nominal collection time of 1 hour post-dose (C1) and plasma concentration at nominal collection time of 2688 hours post-dose (C2688) were reported.

Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. It was calculated by dividing given intravenous dose by AUC inf. AUC inf is the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-inf).

Terminal elimination half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration of tanezumab to decrease by one half of its original concentration.

Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state.
