Two subcutaneous injections of Placebo (for Rilonacept) on Day 1 with Indomethacin orally thrice a day (TID) for 12 days (Indomethacin 50 mg for first 3 days and then, Indomethacin 25 mg for next 9 days).

Two subcutaneous injections of Rilonacept 160 mg (for a total of 320 mg) on Day 1 with Indomethacin orally TID for 12 days (Indomethacin 50 mg for first 3 days and then, Indomethacin 25 mg for next 9 days).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Using a 5-Point Likert Scale (PAP-LS) in Index Joint to Averaged PAP-LS at 24, 48 and 72 Hours
Participants were asked to complete a daily diary entry and assessed their pain in the past 24 hours using 5-point Likert Scale of 0 (None) to 4 (extreme pain), where; 0= none, 1= mild pain, 2= moderate pain, 3= severe pain, or 4= extreme pain. Change in PAP-LS in the index joint from baseline (Day 1) to the averaged PAP-LS values at 24, 48 and 72 hours was reported in this outcome measure (averaged PAP value= [PAP at 24 hours + PAP at 48 hours + PAP at 72 hours]/3).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Using a 5-Point Likert Scale (PAP-LS) in Index Joint at 72 Hours
Participants were asked to complete a daily diary entry and assessed their pain in the past 24 hours using 5-point Likert Scale of 0 (None) to 4 (extreme pain), where; 0= none, 1= mild pain, 2= moderate pain, 3= severe pain, or 4= extreme pain.
Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Using a 5-Point Likert Scale (PAP-LS) in Index Joint at 48 Hours
Participants were asked to complete a daily diary entry and assessed their pain in the past 24 hours using 5-point Likert Scale of 0 (None) to 4 (extreme pain), where; 0= none, 1= mild pain, 2= moderate pain, 3= severe pain, or 4= extreme pain.
Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Using a 5-Point Likert Scale (PAP-LS) in Index Joint at 24 Hours
Participants were asked to complete a daily diary entry and assessed their pain in the past 24 hours using 5-point Likert Scale of 0 (None) to 4 (extreme pain), where; 0= none, 1= mild pain, 2= moderate pain, 3= severe pain, or 4= extreme pain.
