This study is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither the physician nor the patient knows the name of the assigned drug) study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of JNJ-42160443 compared with placebo in patients with moderate to severe, chronic bladder pain from Interstitial cystitis (IC) and/or painful bladder syndrome (PBS).

The study has 3 phases: a screening phase (up to 3 weeks), a double-blind treatment phase (12 weeks), and a post-treatment phase that ends 26 weeks after the last dose of study medication. The study duration will be approximately 36 to 46 weeks.~A single dose of JNJ-42160443 (9 mg/ml) or matching placebo given as an injection under the skin once every 4 weeks for up to 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety, and tolerability of JNJ-42160443 compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe, chronic bladder pain from interstitial cystitis and/or painful bladder syndrome.
