E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male and female subjects with PHN whose pain has been present for >3 months following healing of the herpes zoster rash.
2. Subjects with an mean pain intensity score of 4 or more (determined from at least 4 daily recordings of pain intensity on an 11-point numerical scale over the preceding 7 days) during the baseline phase.
3. Subjects aged 50 years and above.
4. The female subject is postmenopausal

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Malignancy within the past 2 years with the exception of basal cell carcinoma. 2. Subjects who have undergone neurolytic or neurosurgical therapy for PHN. 3. Clinically significant, actively treated or unstable hepatic, biliary, respiratory, renal, rheumatologic, or hematologic illnesses, or unstable cardiovascular disease as assessed by the investigator. 4. WBC <2500, ANC <1500, platelets <100,000; ALT, AST or alkaline phosphatase >1.5x ULN; total bilirubin ³1.2x ULN (excluding Gilbert’s Disease); predicted GFR using MDRD formula < 45 mL/min. 5. Subjects with > 5 RBCs per high-power field on urinalysis will be excluded. 6. Subjects with an albumin/creatinine ratio in an untimed (“spot”) morning urine specimen >ULN. 7. Subjects who are immunocompromised or have clinically significant haematological abnormalities. 8. Subjects with a history of HIV infection. 9. Subjects with a positive hepatitis panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen, or antibody to hepatitis C virus), except subjects with positive antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen who have received hepatitis B vaccination and who have no history of serological evidence of liver disease. 10. Subjects having other severe pain which may impair the self assessment of the pain due to PHN. 11. Subjects who have participated in a clinical trial for an investigational drug and/or agent within 30 days prior to baseline. 12. Subjects who have received TAK-583 in a previous clinical study. 13. Subjects who have donated more than 400 mL of blood in the 90 days prior to the beginning of the study. 14. Subjects who have a history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse in the past 2 years 15. Clinically significant abnormal 12 lead ECG, including QTc >450 ms that is confirmed on a repeat ECG is considered clinically significant. 16. Subjects who have skin conditions in the affected dermatome that could alter sensation. 17. Subjects who have taken any excluded substances (prescription or non-prescription) in the timeframe specified in Section 7.3 (Excluded Medications). 18. Clinically significant or unstable medical or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise participation in the study. 19. The subject is a study site employee, or is an immediate family member (ie, spouse, parent, child, sibling) of a study site employee involved in conduct of this study.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy: · Change from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) in average daily pain intensity score for the prvious 7 days.
Secondary Endpoints: - Safety: · Adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (haematology, biochemistry and urinalysis), albumin/creatinine ratio and cortisol/creatinine ratio, Urinary excretion of N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), 12-lead ECGs and physical examinations.
- Efficacy: · Change from baseline to each study visit in average daily pain intensity score for the previous 7 days · Change from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) pain assessment as assessed by Short form McGill Pain Questionnaire · Change from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) in weekly sleep interference scores (assessed on an 11-point numerical scale in the patient’s sleep diary) · Clinician and patient global impression of change at week 8 (or withdrawal) using a 7-point scale · Change from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) in quality of life as assessed by SF-36 · Change from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) in Profile of Mood States (POMS) · Proportions of patients with at least 30% and 50% reduction from baseline to week 8 (or withdrawal) in average daily pain score
- Pharmacokinetics: · Plasma samples will be collected for analysis of TAK-583 on two visits; one in the morning (14.5 to 18 hours after taking study medication) and one in the afternoon (19.5 to 23 hours after taking study medication). · The concentration time data will be analysed by population-pharmacokinetic modelling. This analysis will explore the exposure response relationship for TAK-583 and the influence of demographic factors on the pharmacokinetics of TAK-583.
