    Location

    The trial is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group trial in subjects diagnosed with fibromyalgia in accordance with the American College of Rheumatology. Total duration is up to twenty-two (22) weeks of trial participation. Subjects will undergo a screening and withdrawal/washout period lasting up to five (5) weeks combined followed by baseline period lasting one (1) week. Total treatment duration will be fourteen (14) weeks followed by a two week safety follow-up post treatment period. During the screening and withdrawal/washout period, no study medication will be given; however rescue medication up to 4 grams per day of acetaminophen (paracetemol) will be allowed.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Sex: All
    Minimum Age: 18
    Age Groups: Adult / Older Adult
    Healthy Volunteers: Yes

    Inclusion Criteria:

    * Male or female subjects, 18 years or older who meet the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia.

    Exclusion Criteria:

    * Subjects will be excluded if they have a history of rheumatic disease or other disorders that may compromise reliable representation of subjective symptoms.
    * Any other condition that will cause a risk to subjects if they participate in the trial is also a reason for exclusion.

    Primary Outcomes
    • Percentage of pain VAS responders. Subjects with a \>= 30% reduction in pain VAS from baseline to endpoint (week 14) were considered responders; all other subjects were considered non-responders. Missing data were handled using BOCF (Baseline Observation Carried Forward). The pain VAS ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain). The pain VAS was collected morning, afternoon and evening. Baseline is the average value recorded for the measure during the week prior to the end-of-baseline visit. Endpoint is the average value recorded for the measure during the week prior to week 14.
