Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of duloxetine once daily compared with placebo on the reduction of pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) in knee or hip in participants in China.

Conditions

Osteoarthritis

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: DOUBLE

Study Groups

Duloxetine

Double Blind Treatment Phase:

60 milligram (mg) duloxetine administered by mouth once a day (QD). Started on duloxetine 30 mg QD for 1 week and then titrated up to 60 mg duloxetine QD for 12 weeks.

Extension Treatment Phase:

60 mg duloxetine administered by mouth QD for 13 weeks.

Taper Phase: 1-week taper where participants taking 60 mg QD duloxetine during the study had their dosage reduced to 30 mg to minimize discontinuation-emergent adverse events (DEAEs).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Duloxetine

Intervention Type: DRUG

Administered orally

Placebo

Double Blind Treatment Phase:

Placebo administered by mouth once a day (QD) for 13 weeks.

Extension Treatment Phase:

60 mg duloxetine administered by mouth QD for 13 weeks. Started on duloxetine 30 mg QD for 1 week and then titrated up to 60 mg duloxetine QD.

Taper Phase: 1-week taper - Placebo administered for 1 week if the participant discontinued from double blind treatment phase, or duloxetine 30 mg QD administered for 1 week if the participant discontinued from extension treatment phase or completed treatment. 1 week taper is to minimize discontinuation-emergent adverse events (DEAEs).
