About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Sciatica

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have a diagnosis of unilateral sciatica, determined by the Investigator. Sciatica symptoms must be present for 6 or more weeks prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Must have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 kg/m2 and 32 kg/m2.
  • Must rate their pain at >40 mm on the 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ)at the Screening and Baseline Visits.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of malignancy or clinically significant (as determined by the Investigator) allergies, cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic (not related to sciatica), dermatologic, rheumatic/joint, psychiatric, renal, and/or other major disease.
  • History of signs or symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, other than symptoms of sciatica.
  • History of severe allergic or anaphylactic drug-related reactions. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
