Increased nerve growth factor levels are associated with chronic pain conditions, including chronic low back pain (LBP). This study examined safety and analgesic efficacy of tanezumab, a humanized anti- nerve growth factor antibody, in adults with chronic LBP. Patients received intravenous tanezumab 200 mu g/kg plus oral placebo (n = 88), intravenous placebo plus oral naproxen 500 mg twice a day (n = 88), or intravenous placebo plus oral placebo (n = 41). Primary outcome was average LBP intensity (aLBPI) at Week 6. Secondary outcomes were proportion of patients with >= 30% or >= 50% reduction in aLBPI, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and Brief Pain Inventory-short form scores, Patients' Global Assessment of LBP, Patients' Global Evaluation of study medication, and rescue medication use. Mean aLBPI change from baseline to Week 6 was greater with tanezumab vs naproxen (P = 0.004) and placebo (P < 0.001). Greater proportions of patients reported >= 30% and >= 50% reduction in aLBPI with tanezumab vs naproxen (P
