Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Upper and/or Lower Gastrointestinal Events (CSULGIEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 24 or Early Termination (ET) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    CSULGIE defined as any of the following: gastroduodenal (GD) hemorrhage; gastric outlet obstruction; GD, small or large bowel perforation; small or large bowel hemorrhage; acute gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage of unknown origin; small bowel obstruction; clinically significant anemia/blood loss of defined GI origin or presumed occult GI origin.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Participants With Moderate to Severe Abdominal Symptoms [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Abdominal symptoms coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) System Organ Class (SOC) 'Gastrointestinal Disorders' high level group term (HLGT) equal to "Gastrointestinal Signs and Symptoms"; where moderate indicated the gastrointestinal adverse event (GI AE) interfered to some extent with the participants' usual function and severe indicated the GI AE interfered significantly with participants' usual function.

  • Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to GI Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through week 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    GI AEs defined using MedDRA SOC 'Gastrointestinal Disorders' but excluding HLGT's: Benign Neoplasms Gastrointestinal, Dental and Gingival Conditions, Oral Soft Tissue Conditions, Salivary Gland Conditions and Tongue Conditions

  • Hemoglobin (Hb) at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change From Baseline Hb at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Hematocrit (Hct) at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change From Baseline Hct at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Decrease in Hct and/or Hb From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Clinically significant decrease in Hct (greater than or equal to 10 percent [≥10%]) and/or decrease in Hb (≥ 2 g/dL).

  • Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Efficacy of Current Pain Medication Overall [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Percentage of participants who reported Very Satisfied or Satisfied with current pain medication question on the Patient Treatment Satisfaction Scale (PTSS), scale ranged from Very Satisfied (1) to Very Dissatisfied (5).

  • Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Efficacy of Current Pain Medication - Time to Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Percentage of participants who reported Very Satisfied or Satisfied with efficacy of current pain medication questions on the PTSS Efficacy subscale for the time it took medication to work, scale ranged from Very Satisfied (1) to Very Dissatisfied (5). Possible range of scores 1 to 15.

  • Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Efficacy of Current Pain Medication - Amount of Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Percentage of participants who reported Very Satisfied or Satisfied with efficacy of current pain medication questions on the PTSS Efficacy subscale for the amount of pain relief medication provided, scale ranged from Very Satisfied (1) to Very Dissatisfied (5). Possible range of scores 1 to 15.

  • Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Efficacy of Current Pain Medication - Duration of Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 24 or ET ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Percentage of participants who reported Very Satisfied or Satisfied with efficacy of current pain medication questions on the PTSS Efficacy, subscale for duration of pain relief provided by medication, scale ranged from Very Satisfied (1) to Very Dissatisfied (5). Possible range of scores 1 to 15.
