K-BPI is a questionnaire designed to measure the degree of pain severity and the impact of pain in performing daily routines. K-BPI comprises of 9 items out of which 6 items were assessed. Score of each item ranges from 0 to 10, where 0=no pain/impact and 10=severe pain/impact. The 6 items that were assessed are: a) level of pain worst in last 24 hours; b) level of pain weakest in last 24 hours; c) level of pain average in last 24 hours; d) level of pain right now; e) how much pain reduced with the therapy taken; sixth item was further classified into 7 categories: i) general activities ii) mood iii) ambulatory ability iv) routine works v) interpersonal relation vi) sleep vii) life enjoyment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 15

Population: ITT population included all the participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had the data on sleep disturbance caused by pain at Day 15. LOCF was used.

Participant's pain intensity was measured using NRS ranging from 0=no pain to 10=unimaginable extreme pain. Participants maintained pain diary for 3 days before Baseline until Day 15 and pain intensity was measured twice daily (morning and afternoon). Here average pain intensity is reported. Average pain intensity was calculated as mean of morning pain intensity and evening pain intensity for each baseline and Day 15.

The ECOG performance status was used to evaluate participant's disease progression and the effect of the disease on the participant's activities of daily living. ECOG performance status score ranges from Grade 0 to 4, where Grade 0=Fully active, Grade 1=restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, Grade 2=ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities, Grade 3=capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair, and Grade 4=completely disabled.
