Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a range of single intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) doses of BG00010 in healthy volunteers, and a range of multiple SC doses of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy. Secondary objectives of this study are to determine the single IV and SC dose pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of BG00010 in healthy volunteers including assessment of bioavailability by comparing SC exposure to IV exposure in each participant, to determine the multiple SC dose PK profiles of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy, to assess the single IV and SC dose immunogenicity of BG00010 in healthy volunteers, to assess the multiple SC dose immunogenicity of BG00010 in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy, and to assess the potential of BG00010 to reduce pain following multiple SC administrations in participants with painful lumbar radiculopathy.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)/Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 75 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of BG00010 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose ]
  2. Time to maximum serum concentration (Tmax) of BG00010 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose ]
  3. Half life (t1/2) of BG00010 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose ]
  4. Area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC) from zero to infinity AUC(0-∞) for BG00010 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose ]
  5. Subcutaneous (SC) bioavailability [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose ]
  6. Number of participants with anti-BG00010 antibodies in serum [ Time Frame: Up to Day 75 ]
  7. Pain as measured by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 75 ]
    The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. The scale ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable).

  8. Pain as measured by short form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) visual analog scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 75 ]
    A 10 cm visual analog scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
