Brief Summary:
Inactivation of the FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase) enzyme has been shown to relieve pain and inflammation in animal studies. PF-04457845 has been shown to inactivate the FAAH enzyme in animals and healthy human volunteers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether PF-04457845 can inactivate the FAAH enzyme in patients experiencing pain due to OA and whether this results in these patients experiencing less pain.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo in relieving pain as measured by the WOMAC Pain sub-score in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-04457845 in patients with osteoarthritis. [ Time Frame: 10 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the WOMAC Stiffness domain score (Likert scale for 2 items, overall score ranges from 0-8) in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  2. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the WOMAC Physical Function domain score (Likert scale for 17 items, overall score ranges from 0-68) in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  3. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the WOMAC Total Score in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  4. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the Importance weighted Total WOMAC score in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  5. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the Daily pain diary over weeks 1 and 2 of each treatment period using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  6. Efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo as measured by the Subjects' use of rescue medication on either treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  7. Summary of plasma concentrations of PF-04457845. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  8. Residual FAAH activity in leukocytes for subjects recruited prior to the interim analysis. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
  9. Plasma fatty acid amide levels (OEA, PEA, LEA and AEA) for subjects recruited prior to the interim analysis. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
