E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
•To evaluate the efficacy of PF-04457845 (administered QD) versus placebo in relieving pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-04457845 in patients with osteoarthritis.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To understand the relationship between fatty acid amide (FAA) elevation and efficacy. •To examine the pharmacokinetics of PF-04457845 in patients with osteoarthritis. •To compare the FAAH activation in leukocytes and the elevation of FAA in patients treated with PF-04457845 with that observed previously in normal healthy volunteers. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subject eligibility should be reviewed and documented by an appropriately qualified member of the investigator’s study team before subjects are included in the study. Subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study: 1. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study. 2. Male or female subjects not of child bearing potential between the ages of 18 and 75 years inclusive at the time of entering the study. 3. Diagnosis of OA of the knee based on American College of Rheumatology criteria with X-ray confirmation (a Kellgren-Lawrence X-ray grade of ≤2 (Kellgren J, Lawrence J. Radiological assessment of osteo-arthrosis. Ann Rheum Dis. 1957; 16: 494-501 [1]). X-rays taken within the last 12 months may be used for confirmation. 4. Willing and able to discontinue all current analgesic therapy, including OTC pain medications and topical analgesics for OA pain, for period beginning at washout phase and continuing for the entire duration of study. 5. Acetaminophen may be used for non-joint related pain at doses ≤1 g/day at the discretion of a qualified member of the Pfizer study team. 6. QTc interval ≤470 ms and a PR interval ≤210 msec based on the screening ECG. 7. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, llaboratory tests, and other study procedures. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Evidence or a history of clinically significant endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, renal, psychiatric, or neurological disease that the investigator is unable to confirm have been stable for ≤4 weeks under control. 2. Body mass index (BMI) of <40 kg/m2. 3. Clinical evidence of existing hepatic disease or a medical history of such a condition in the last year. 4. Pregnant or lactating females, and women of childbearing potential. 5. Participation in a clinical trial for an investigational drug and/or agent within 30 days prior to randomization. 6. Any history of alcohol or illicit drug abuse within 1 year of screening. 7. A positive urine drug screen. 8. Active malignancy of any type or history of a malignancy within 10 years (with the exception of subjects with a history of treated basal cell carcinoma). 9. Symptomatic OA of the hip ipsilateral to index knee which the patient considers more painful than the knee. 10. History of diseases other than OA that may involve the index knee, including: •Inflammatory joint diseases. •Crystalline diseases. •Endocrinopathies. •Metabolic diseases. •Infections. •Neuropathic disorders. •Avascular necrosis. •Paget’s disease, or •Tumors. 11. Subjects with a history of HIV 12. Subjects with a history of Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection. 13. Symptomatic anserine bursitis or acute joint trauma of the index knee within 1 year. 14. Arthroscopy performed on index knee within 1 year. 15. Other severe pain which that impairs the assessment of OA pain. 16. Any condition affecting drug absorption, eg, gastrectomy or any active GI disease (including any relevant surgery). 17. First degree or higher AV block, defined as PR interval >210 msec, complete left or right bundle branch block, or clinically relevant abnormality on screening ECG. 18. Use of prohibited medications as listed below, in the absence of appropriate washout period (greater of 2d or 5 half-lives): •NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors. •Acetaminophen (as an exception acetaminophen may be used for non-joint related pain at doses ≤1g/day). •Opioids. •Aspirin (≤325 mg/day for cardiovascular prophylaxis permitted). •Oral or IM corticosteroids within 4 weeks. IA steroids within 12 weeks in study joint or any other joints within 4 weeks, or IA hyaluronic acid within 24 weeks prior to baseline. •Concomitant medications that are CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers, or that are P-glycoprotein substrates, within 48 hours or 5 half lives prior to baseline. 19. Subjects that have previously received any cannabinoid therapy (eg, nabilone, marinol, dronabinol, sativex). 20. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric conditions or pre-dispositions or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with interpretation of and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study eg, active tuberculosis. 21. Subjects with any personal or family history of psychosis. 22. Evidence of suicidality as determined by Columbia – Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) assessment. 23. Subjects: • Who have previously exhibited allergy to naproxen sodium • With known hypersensitivity to the active substance naproxen (including naproxen sodium) or any of the excipients. • Wih a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or other NSAIDs (ie, complete or partial syndrome of ASA-intolerance-rhinosinusitis, urticaria/angioedema, nasal polyps, asthma). |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
