Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether tanezumab is effective in the treatment of cancer pain due to bone metastasis in patients already taking background opioid therapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group Phase 3 study in cancer subjects requiring treatment with background opioids for pain due to bone metastasis.

Approximately 144 subjects will be randomized to one of 2 treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio (approximately 72 subjects per group). Subjects will receive a total of 3 subcutaneous injections, separated by 8 weeks in addition to background opioids administered throughout the study.

Treatment groups will include: 1. Placebo SC (matching tanezumab SC) in addition to background opioid therapy. 2. Tanezumab 20 mg SC in addition to background opioid therapy.

The study consists of three periods: Pre-Treatment (up to 37 days), Double-Blind Treatment (24 weeks) and Safety Follow-up (24 weeks).
