The Phase III safety & efficacy study - titled “A 14-Week, Multi-Center Study of [S,S]-Reboxetine in Patients with Fibromyalgia” – is sponsored by Pfizer.

With a target enrollment of some 1,148 subjects, the trial will involve four arms – 3 different doses of reboxetine and placebo (fake) dose.

Reboxetine, which is an antidepressant also used in treatment of ADD/ADHD and panic disorder in Europe but not prescribed in the US, is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI). It acts by blocking the reuptake of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (maintaining higher levels).

As part of the trial, participants (diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and over age 18) will receive: free study related medication and procedures, physical exams and lab tests, monitoring and evaluation, and financial compensation for participation & travel.
