Further study details as provided by Eli Lilly and Company:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • assess efficacy of duloxetine (QD) vs placebo on pain in patients, w/ or w/o MDD during a 6-month therapy phase
  • evaluate change in pain measured by Brief Pain Inventory score
  • evaluate endpoint of patient-reported improvement on the Patient's Global Impression of Improvement scale

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • change from baseline to endpoint on Sheehan Disability Scale total score
  • assess efficacy of duloxetine vs placebo in first 3-months of therapy measured by change in BPI average score and PGI-I endpoint
  • evaluate between group differences (duloxetine and placebo) in the first 3-months measured by change in baseline to endpoint in SDS total score
  • evaluate efficacy of duloxetine versus placebo during 6-month therapy as measured by:
  • FIQ
  • CGI-Severity
  • Tender-point pain thresholds
  • MFI
  • Percent of patients with 50% improvement in BPI avg. pain score
  • BPI Severity
  • evaluate duloxetine 60/120mg (QD) versus placebo during 6-month therapy as measured by the following health outcome measures:
  • SF-36
  • EQ-5D

Estimated Enrollment: 320
Study Start Date: September 2005
Study Completion Date: June 2007
  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • meet criteria from primary FMS as defined by the ACR: widespread aching pain in all four quadrants of the body and axial skeleton and greater than or equal to 11 of 18 tender points under digital palpation examination
  • measure average pain item of the BPI at Visits 1 and 2

Exclusion Criteria:

  • have pain symptoms related to traumatic injury, structural rheumatic disease, or regional rheumatic disease that will interfere with interpretation of outcome measures
  • have regional pain syndrome, multiple surgeries or failed back syndrome
  • have confirmed current or previous diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or infectious arthritis, or an autoimmune disease (i.e. systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • have current primary Axis I diagnosis other than major depressive disorder (MDD), including a current diagnosis of dysthymia
