Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Mean Daily Average Pain Score as Assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) | Baseline and week 8 | The mean daily average pain score was assessed thorugh the Daily Average Pain NRS, which is a generic instrument for the assessment of pain that consists of a single question that asks participants to record their daily average pain on an 11-point scale, where 0 anchors no pain and 10 pain as bad as you can imagine. The mean daily average pain score was calculated from data recorded by participants daily in the electronic diary, and the recall period was the last 24 hours. A negative change indicated a reduction/improvement from baseline (i.e., a favorable outcome). |
| Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) | From first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (up to 87 days) | Safety was assessed by adverse events (AEs), which included abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, etc.) if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, needed active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study drug or was clinically significant. A TEAE was defined as any AE that started or worsened after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. AEs were considered serious (SAEs) if the AE resulted in death, was life-threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, resulted in congenital anomaly, or birth defect or required inpatient hospitalization or led to prolongation of hospitalization. TEAEs in drug abuse, dependence and withdrawal standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) are special AEs of interest grouped together using the SMQ tool (MedDRA v20.0). |
| Number of Participants With an Affirmative Response to Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS): Suicidal Ideation | Weeks 1 to 8 | The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a questionnaire used for suicide risk assessment. Affirmative or negative responses were provided to 5 items to suicidal ideation (1. Wish to be dead, 2. Non-specific active suicidal thoughts, 3. Active suicidal ideation with any methods (not plan) without intent to act, 4. Active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan, 5. Active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent). |
| Number of Participants With an Affirmative Response to C-SSRS: Suicidal Behavior | Weeks 1 to 8 | The C-SSRS is a questionnaire used for suicide risk assessment. Affirmative or negative responses were provided to 5 items to suicidal behavior (1. Preparatory acts or behavior, 2. Aborted attempt, 3. Interrupted attempt, 4. Actual attempt, 5. Completed suicide). |

The 21-item FIQR contains 3 subscales: function (9 questions), overall impact (2 questions), and symptoms (10 questions). Participants answer each question on an 11-point NRS, with anchors appropriate to each question on a tablet device during a visit. The recall period was the last 7 days. The Overall Impact subscale has a range of scores from 0 to 20, with a lower score indicating better (lower) impact. A negative change indicated a reduction/improvement from baseline (i.e., a favorable outcome). |
| Percentage of Participants With ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline to Week 8 and End of Treatment (EOT) in Mean Daily Average Pain Score as Assessed by NRS | Baseline to week 8 | The mean daily average pain score was assessed through the Daily Average Pain NRS, which is a generic instrument for the assessment of pain that consists of a single question that asks participants to record their daily average pain on an 11-point scale, where 0 anchors no pain and 10 pain as bad as you can imagine. The mean daily average pain score was calculated from data recorded by participants daily in the electronic diary, and the recall period was the last 24 hours. For the week 8 analysis, participants with missing baseline or week 8 data were classified as nonresponders. For EOT analysis, participants with missing baseline or EOT data were classified as nonresponders. |
| Overall Participant Improvement as Assessed by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) | Weeks 2, 4, 8 | The PGIC is a self-administered 7-point Likert scale that asks participants to evaluate their fibromyalgia relative to baseline. This is a single question and the grade ranges from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse). |
| Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction From Baseline to Week 8 and EOT in Mean Daily Average Pain Score as Assessed by NRS | Baseline to week 8 | The mean daily average pain score was assessed thorugh the Daily Average Pain NRS, which is a generic instrument for the assessment of pain that consists of a single question that asks participants to record their daily average pain on an 11-point scale, where 0 anchors no pain and 10 pain as bad as you can imagine. The mean daily average pain score was calculated from data recorded by participants daily in the electronic diary, and the recall period was the last 24 hours.

The 21-item FIQR contains 3 subscales: function (9 questions), overall impact (2 questions), and symptoms (10 questions). Participants answer each question on an 11-point NRS, with anchors appropriate to each question on a tablet device during a visit. The recall period was the last 7 days. The Overall Impact subscale has a range of scores from 0 to 20, with a lower score indicating better (lower) impact. A negative change indicated a reduction/improvement from baseline (i.e., a favorable outcome).
Time frame: Baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8
Population: The analysis population was the FAS. Participants with available data at baseline were included in the analysis. LOCF was used for EOT.

Overall Participant Improvement as Assessed by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
The PGIC is a self-administered 7-point Likert scale that asks participants to evaluate their fibromyalgia relative to baseline. This is a single question and the grade ranges from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse).
Time frame: Weeks 2, 4, 8
Population: The analysis population was the FAS. Modified LOCF (mLOCF) was used for weeks 2, 4, and 8, where No Change was imputed for participants who discontinued due to lack of efficacy or AEs, and LOCF was used for participants who discontinued due to other reasons. LOCF was used for EOT.

Percentage of Participants With ≥ 30% Reduction From Baseline to Week 8 and End of Treatment (EOT) in Mean Daily Average Pain Score as Assessed by NRS
The mean daily average pain score was assessed through the Daily Average Pain NRS, which is a generic instrument for the assessment of pain that consists of a single question that asks participants to record their daily average pain on an 11-point scale, where 0 anchors no pain and 10 pain as bad as you can imagine. The mean daily average pain score was calculated from data recorded by participants daily in the electronic diary, and the recall period was the last 24 hours. For the week 8 analysis, participants with missing baseline or week 8 data were classified as nonresponders. For EOT analysis, participants with missing baseline or EOT data were classified as nonresponders.
Time frame: Baseline to week 8
Population: The analysis population was the FAS. Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF) was used for week 8. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) was used for EOT.
