Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percentage of Participants With Adjudicated Primary Composite Joint Safety Outcome
    • Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
    • Any participant with incidence of an adjudicated outcome of primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive osteoarthritis (OA) type 1 or type 2, subchondral insufficiency fracture, or pathological fracture. Rapidly progressive OA type 1 events were those that the Adjudication Committee considered to have significant loss of joint space width (JSW) (greater than or equal to [>=] 2 millimeters [mm]) within approximately 1 year without gross structural failure. Rapidly progressive OA type 2 events were those considered to have abnormal loss/destruction of bone including limited or total collapse of at least one subchondral surface (e.g., medial femoral condyle) that is not normally present in conventional end-stage OA.
  • Observation Time-Adjusted Event Rate of Participants With Adjudicated Primary Composite Joint Safety Outcome
    • Time Frame: Baseline up to Week 80
    • Observation time was defined as the start day of first SC study medication until either the (i) date of completion of or withdrawal from study, if a participant did not have the event, or (ii) date of the event (earliest event within each participant in the case of multiple events). Primary joint safety outcome included participants with adjudicated outcome of primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive OA type 1 or type 2, subchondral insufficiency fracture, or pathological fracture. Event rate was calculated as the number of events per 1000 participant-years at risk.

ECG abnormalities included: 1) QT interval, QT interval corrected using Bazett’s formula (QTcB) and QT interval corrected using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF): increase from baseline greater than (>) 30 millisecond (ms) or 60 ms; absolute value > 450 ms, >480 ms and > 500 ms; 2) heart rate (HR) : absolute value <=50 bpm and decrease from baseline >=20 bpm; absolute value >=120 beats per minute (bpm) and increase from baseline >=20 bpm; 3) PR interval: absolute value >=220 ms and increase from baseline >=20 ms; 4) QRS interval: absolute value >= 120 ms.
  • Change From Baseline in Heart Rate (as Assessed by ECG) at Weeks 56 and 80
    • Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 56 and 80
    • Heart rate was measured at sitting position.
  • Number of Participants With Confirmed Orthostatic Hypotension
    • Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64 and 80
    • Orthostatic hypotension was defined as postural change (supine to standing) that met the following criteria: For systolic BP <=150 mmHg (mean supine): Reduction in systolic BP>=20 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP>=10 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. For systolic BP >150 mmHg (mean supine): Reduction in systolic BP>=30 mmHg or reduction in diastolic BP>=15 mmHg at the 1 and/or 3 minute standing BP measurements. If the 1 minute or 3 minute standing BP in a sequence met the orthostatic hypotension criteria, then that sequence was considered positive. If 2 of 2 or 2 of 3 sequences were positive, then orthostatic hypotension was considered confirmed.
  • Change From Baseline in Survey of Autonomic Symptom (SAS) Scores at Weeks 24, 56 and 80
    • Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 24, 56 and 80
    • The SAS is a 12 item (11 for females) questionnaire, from which the total number of symptoms (0-12 for males and 0-11 for females) is calculated. Each positive symptom is rated from 1 (not at all) to 5 (a lot). The total impact score was the sum of all symptom rating scores, with 0 assigned where the participant did not have the particular symptom. The range for the total impact score is 0-60 for males and 0-55 for females, higher scores indicating higher impact.
  • Change From Baseline in Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64 and 80
    • Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64 and 80
    • NIS is a standardized instrument used to evaluate participant for signs of peripheral neuropathy. NIS is the sum of scores of 37 items, from both the left and right side, where 24 items scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (paralysis), higher score indicated higher abnormality/impairment and 13 items scored from 0 (normal), 1 (decreased) and 2 (absent), higher score indicated higher impairment. NIS possible overall score ranged from 0 (no impairment) to 244 (maximum impairment), higher scores indicated increased impairment.
  • Number of Participants With Anti-Tanezumab Antibodies
    • Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 32, 48, 56, 64 and 80
    • Human serum anti-drug antibody (ADA) samples were analyzed for the presence or absence of anti-tanezumab antibodies by using a semi quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
