A Phase 3 Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of NKTR-181 in Opioid-Naive Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Low Back Pain
A Phase 3 Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of NKTR-181 in Opioid-Naive Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Low Back Pain
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new opioid molecule, NKTR-181, is effective for the relief of moderate to severe chronic low back pain as compared to a placebo.
This is an enriched enrollment, randomized withdrawal study with an open label, dose-titration period followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-control treatment of twelve weeks. During the double-blind treatment period, this study will evaluate the analgesic effect of NKTR-181 versus placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic low back pain.
