Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Long Term Study of the Safety of Tanezumab When Administered By Subcutaneous Injections (NCT NCT00994890)

Due to United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) imposed clinical hold, study was terminated prematurely and a maximum of only 4 doses of the 7 planned doses of tanezumab (RN624 or PF-04383119) subcutaneous injection were administered in the study.

A Long Term Study of the Safety of Tanezumab When Administered By Subcutaneous Injections

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. 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. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 112 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

Laboratory analysis included blood chemistry, hematology, urinalysis and pregnancy test.

All standard intervals (PR, QRS, QT, QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula \[QTcF\], QT interval corrected for heart rate using Bazett's formula \[QTcB\], RR intervals and heart rate) were analyzed. Participants with abnormal ECG findings reported as adverse events were presented.

Examination of vital signs included body temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate. Participants with abnormal vital sign findings reported as adverse events were presented.

Assessment of the injection-site reactions were based on presence of erythema (redness), induration (swelling), ecchymosis (bruising), pruritus (itching) and pain that occurred after the injection had been administered (not related to pain of needle insertion).

WOMAC pain subscale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in index knee or index hip during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a numerical rating scale (NRS) of 0 to 10, where higher scores indicated higher pain. Total score range for WOMAC pain subscale score was 0 to 10, where higher scores indicated higher pain.

WOMAC physical function subscale is a 17-item questionnaire used to assess the degree of difficulty experienced due to osteoarthritis in index joint and index hip during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from 17 individual questions scored on NRS of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicated worse function. Total score range for WOMAC physical function subscale score was 0 to 10, where higher scores indicated worse function.

Participants answered: "Considering all the ways your osteoarthritis in your knee (or hip) affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants responded by using a 5-point scale where 1 = very good (no symptom and limitation of normal activities) and 5 = very poor (very severe symptoms and inability to carry out normal activities).

OMERACT-OARSI response: greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) improvement from baseline and absolute change from baseline of \>=2 units in WOMAC pain or physical function subscale, or at least 2 of the following 3 being true: \>=20% improvement from baseline and absolute change from baseline of \>=1 unit in 1) WOMAC pain subscale, 2) WOMAC physical function subscale, 3) PGA of osteoarthritis (score: 1-5, higher score=more affected). WOMAC pain, physical function subscales assess amount of pain/difficulty experienced (score: 0-10, higher score=higher pain/difficulty).

Percentage of participants with at least 30%, 50%, 70% and 90% reduction from baseline in WOMAC pain subscale score are reported. WOMAC pain subscale is a 5-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of pain experienced due to osteoarthritis in index knee or index hip during past 48 hours. It was calculated as mean of the scores from the 5 individual questions scored on a 0 to 10 NRS, where higher scores indicated higher pain. Total score range for WOMAC pain subscale score is 0 to 10, where higher scores indicated higher pain.

Total score range for WOMAC pain subscale score is 0 to 10, where higher scores indicate higher pain. Participants with specified reduction (as percent) from baseline at Week 16 are reported.

Participants answered: "Considering all the ways your osteoarthritis in your knee (or hip) affects you, how are you doing today?" Participants responded by using a 5-point scale where 1 = very good and 5 = very poor. Improvement signifies a decrease of at least 2 points on the 5-point scale relative to baseline value.

WOMAC stiffness subscale is a 2-item questionnaire used to assess the amount of stiffness experienced due to osteoarthritis in index knee or index hip during past 48 hours. It is calculated as mean of the scores from 2 individual questions scored on NRS of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicate higher stiffness. Total score range for WOMAC stiffness subscale score is 0 to 10, where higher scores indicate higher stiffness. Stiffness is defined as a sensation of decreased ease in movement of knee or hip.

WOMAC: self-administered, disease-specific 24-item questionnaire which assesses clinically important, participant-relevant symptoms for pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and physical function (17 items) in participants with osteoarthritis of knee or hip. Each item was scored on a 0 to 10 NRS scale, where higher scores indicated higher pain/stiffness or worse function. WOMAC average score was the mean of WOMAC pain, physical function and stiffness subscale scores and ranged from 0 to 10, where higher score indicated worse response.

Participants answered: "How much pain have you had when walking on a flat surface?" Participants responded by using a NRS of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = extreme pain.

Participants answered: "How much pain have you had when going up or down the stairs?" Participants responded by using a NRS of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = extreme pain.

Median time to discontinuation due to lack of efficacy was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved analgesics were permitted as concomitant medications to relieve the pain of osteoarthritis. These medications included opioids, topical analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), capsaicin products and viscosupplementation (example, hyaluronan) and were prescribed at the discretion of the Investigator.

Number of participants are reported based on the maximum number of subcutaneous doses of study medication received.
