Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Occurrence of adverse events compared to placebo
throughout the 28-week double-blind treatment period
Mean change in the weekly average of daily average pain intensity (API) in the affected leg on the 11-Point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11)
at week 4 compared with baseline

The average pain intensity over the past 24 hours on the NRS-11 will be collected daily by electronic diary.

Secondary Endpoints

Weekly average of daily leg API score as assessed by the NRS-11 from electronic diary entries
at each of the first 6 weeks
Weekly average of daily back API score as assessed by the NRS-11 from electronic diary entries
at each of the first 6 weeks
Weekly average of daily worst leg pain score as assessed by the NRS-11 from electronic diary entries
at each of the first 6 weeks
