Single Injection of REGN475/SAR164877 in the Treatment of Chronic Pancreatitis Pain

Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Effect of a Single Injection of SAR164877 (REGN475) on Reduction of Pain From Chronic Pancreatitis

Primary objective was to demonstrate the activity of REGN475/SAR164877 in reducing the pain associated with chronic pancreatitis.

Secondary objectives were:

• to assess the safety and tolerability of REGN475/SAR164877 in patients with chronic pancreatitis pain;
• to characterize the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and immunogenicity profiles of REGN475/SAR164877 in this population;
• to measure the change in the total daily dose of rescue medications required.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Mean change from baseline in pain intensity as assessed by Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS)	The baseline value was defined as the average of PI-NRS values obtained at screening and at randomization visit. The Week 4 value was defined as the average of PI-NRS values obtained daily through e-Diary assessments during Week 4.	baseline and 4 weeks after injection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Mean change from baseline in pain intensity as assessed by PI-NRS	baseline and every other weeks up to 12 weeks after injection
