Subjects whose pain intensity (VAS) is 4.0 or higher, as measured at screening and before administration of the investigational drug. 5. Subjects who voluntarily sign the informed consent form and are able to understand the purpose and procedures of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 2. Subjects whose pain intensity (VAS) exceeds 9.0, as measured at screening and before administration of the investigational drug. 3. Subjects with serious pathological conditions that cause pain such as spinal inflammatory diseases, spinal fractures, neurological disorders (neuropathic pain), spinal infections, or spinal tumors. 4. Subjects with radiating pain in body areas other than the lower extremities. 5. Subjects whose radiating pain is more severe than their lower back pain. 6. Subjects with a surgical history in the pain area or who have received nerve block procedures (e.g., epidural steroid injection, joint block) within the past 3 months. 7. Subjects who weigh less than 45 kg. 8. Subjects with unstable medical conditions (e.g., unstable angina, congestive heart failure, renal failure, hepatic failure, AIDS) or poorly controlled psychiatric disorders (e.g., untreated PTSD, anxiety, depression). 9. Subjects with QRS(QRS complex interval) > 200 msec or QTc(Corrected QT interval) > 450 msec (males) / QTc(Corrected QT interval) > 470 msec (females) on ECG at screening. 10.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
SPID D1 2h: Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 2 hours after Day 1 dosing.;PID D1_2h: Difference in pain intensity between 2 hours post-dose on Day 1 and pre-dose on Day 1.;%SPID D1_2h: Percentage of SPID 2h area relative to maximum possible area based on pre-dose pain intensity on Day 1.;Proportion of subjects with %SPID D1_2h = 10%, 20%, or 30%.;Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) for overall pain relief.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
SPID D7_2h: Sum of pain intensity difference over 2 hours after Day 7 dosing.;PID D7_predose: Difference in pain intensity between pre-dose on Day 7 and pre-dose on Day 1.;PID D7_2h: Difference in pain intensity between 2 hours after Day 7 dosing and pre-dose on Day 1.;PID D3: Difference in pain intensity between Day 3 and pre-dose on Day 1.
