Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety/Efficacy Study of Oxycodone HCl/Niacin to Treat Pain After Bunionectomy (NCT NCT00654069)

NCT ID: NCT00654069

Last Updated: 2018-08-22

Results Overview

Time weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Differences over the first 48 hours (SPID48) is the sum of the Pain Intensity Difference (PID) scores observed at 0.5 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 hours post-dose. Pain Intensity scores at each timepoint are based on a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 = no pain to 100 = worst pain imaginable. PID is calculated as the timepoint score less the baseline pre-dose score (i.e. PID.5 = PI.5 - PI0). SPID48 = the PID for each timepoint multiplied by a time weighting factor; which is the difference (in hours) between the PID observation and prior observation. SPID48 = PID.5\*.5 + PID1\*.5 + PID2\*1 + PID3\*1 + PID4\*1 + PID6\*2 +PID12\*6 + PID18\*6 +PID24\*6 + PID30\*6 + PID36\*6 + PID42\*6 + PID48\*6. The maximum SPID48 value is 4,800 (assumes PI0 of 100 and a PI of 0 at all subsequent timepoints) with a midpoint SPID48 of 2,400 (PI0=50 and PI of 0 at all subsequent readings).
