Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is designed to primarily assess the efficacy and safety of duloxetine 60-120 mg once daily (QD) compared with placebo on the reduction of pain severity in participants with central neuropathic pain due to Multiple Sclerosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, 20-week trial with 4 study periods. Participants who screen successfully (Study Period I) will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to duloxetine 60 mg QD or placebo. Starting with Study Period II, participants will be treated in a double-blind manner for 6 weeks. Participants who complete the 6-week, double-blind period will have the opportunity to participate in a 12-week, open-label, flexible-dose portion of the study (Study Period III). Study Period IV is a taper phase designed to reduce the occurrence of discontinuation adverse events. Participants may enter Study Period IV at any time after Visit 3.

Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants received placebo oral (po), once daily (QD) for 6 weeks (acute phase). If the participant completes the 6-week double-blind portion of the trial, the participant will be offered the option to participate in the open-label extension period (given 60, 90, or 120 milligrams \[mg\] QD for 12 weeks).

Duloxetine

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Duloxetine Hydrochloride (HCI)

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants received 30 mg duloxetine (po, QD) for 1 week followed by 5 weeks at 60 mg in the acute placebo-controlled period. If the participant completes the double-blind portion of the trial, the participant will be offered the option to participate in the open-label extension period (given 60, 90, or 120 mg QD for 12 weeks).
