Single Injection of REGN475/SAR164877 in the Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis Pain

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Primary objective was to demonstrate the activity of REGN475/SAR164877 in reducing the pain associated with chronic pancreatitis. Secondary objectives were: to assess the safety and tolerability of REGN475/SAR164877 in patients with chronic pancreatitis pain; to characterize the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenicity profiles of REGN475/SAR164877 in this population; to measure the change in the total daily dose of rescue medications required.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The duration of the study period for each participant was up to 14 weeks, including a screening period up to 2 weeks, and 12-week follow-up after the injection.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mean change from baseline in pain intensity as assessed by Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS) | The baseline value was defined as the average of PI-NRS values obtained at screening and at randomization visit. The Week 4 value was defined as the average of PI-NRS values obtained daily through e-Diary assessments during Week 4. | baseline and 4 weeks after injection | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mean change from baseline in pain intensity as assessed by PI-NRS |  | baseline and every other weeks up to 12 weeks after injection | 
| Percentage of pain-free days (score 0 pain on PI-NRS) |  | 12 weeks | 
| Percentage of days with rescue analgesia use |  | 12 weeks | 
| Change from baseline in Short Form-12 Item Quality of Life Questionnaire [SF-12] score |  | baseline and 4, 8, 12 weeks | 
| Patient Global Impression of Change [PGIC] score |  | 4, 8 and 12 weeks | 
| Percentage of participants with at least 30% and 50% reduction from baseline in pain intensity |  | up to 12 weeks after injection | 
| Pharmacokinetic: REGN475/SAR164877 serum concentration |  | 12 weeks |
