- Are willing to discontinue all pain medications for condition under study, except rescue medication permitted per protocol, for the duration of the study.
- Have a history of low back pain for at least 3 months located between the 12th thoracic vertebra and the lower gluteal folds, with or without radiation.
- Have a history of low back pain as classified by the Quebec Task Force Category 1 through 3.
- Have stable glycemic control as indicated by a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) less than or equal to 10 at time of screening.
- Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 70 ml/min/1.73m² during screening.
- Have any clinically serious or unstable cardiovascular, musculoskeletal disorder, gastrointestinal (GI), endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, dermatologic, immunologic, or ophthalmologic disease within 3 months of baseline.
- Have received any antibodies against nerve growth factor (NGF), antibodies against EGFR, or EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).
- Have a history of allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies, or clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, including but not limited to erythema multiforme major, linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or exfoliative dermatitis.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Have second- or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) heart block or AV dissociation or history of ventricular tachycardia.
- Have had a procedure within the past 6 months intended to produce permanent sensory loss in the target area of interest (for example, ablation techniques).
- Have surgery planned during the study for any reason, related or not to the disease state under evaluation.
- Have, in the judgment of the investigator, an acute, serious, or unstable medical condition or a history or presence of any other medical illness that would preclude study participation.
- There is an inability to rule out other causative or confounding sources of pain in the primary condition under study.
- Have had cancer within 2 years of baseline, except for cutaneous basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma resolved by excision.

- Have any clinically important abnormality at screening, as determined by investigator, in physical or neurological examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), or clinical laboratory test results that could be detrimental to the participant or could compromise the study.
- Have a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test result at screening.
- Are, in the judgment of the investigator, actively suicidal and therefore deemed to be at significant risk for suicide.
- Have an intolerance to acetaminophen or paracetamol or any of its excipients.
- Have a history of alcohol, illicit drug, analgesic or narcotic use disorder within 2 years prior to screening.
