Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory 24-hour Average Pain ScoreBaseline and 12 weeksA self-reported scale that measures the severity of pain based on the average pain over the past 24-hours. The severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as severe as you can imagine).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Clinical Global Impression of SeverityBaseline and 12 weeksMeasures severity of illness at the time of assessment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients.
Time Course of Change in Patient Global Impression - Improvement Scalebaseline, over 12 weeksA scale that measures the patient's perception of improvement at the time of assessment compared with the start of treatment. The score ranges from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in EuroQoL Questionnaire - 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) (US Based Index Score)Baseline and 12 weeksThe EQ-5D is an assessment of one's overall health. Consists of 5 items. Patients choose 1 of 3 options that best describe the status of each item. The EQ-5D US based index scores range from -0.11 to 1.0 where a score of 1.0 indicates perfect health. A positive change from baseline indicates health improvement.
Number of Participants Discontinuing Due to Adverse Eventsover 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Reported in >5% of Either Treatment Group by Time of Dosing (Morning or Evening)over 12 weeksTolerability of morning versus evening dosing, as assessed by the number of participants with spontaneously reported adverse events.
Change From Baseline to 12 Week Endpoint in Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain, Least Pain, and Current Pain Severity and Average Interference ScoresBaseline and 12 weeksMeasures severity of pain and interference of pain on function. Each severity of pain (worst, least, and current) scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as severe as you can imagine). The 7 separate Interference item scores range from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) and were averaged to provide a single score (0 to 10).

Total score of the 8-item version (sum of items 1-8) ranges from 0-24, while total score of the 5-item (sum of items 1-5) ranges from 0-15.
