Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of SKY0402 in Subjects Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (NCT NCT00745290)

NCT ID: NCT00745290

Last Updated: 2013-08-06

Results Overview

The subject's pain intensity was assessed with activity (NRS-A), while actively flexing the involved knee from the maximum extension point to the maximum flexion point possible. The subject responded to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain, how much pain did you have while bending your knee?"

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: through 72 hours post surgery

Population: Note: 245 subjects were randomized and received study drug and were included in the analyses.

The subject's pain intensity was assessed with activity (NRS-A), while actively flexing the involved knee from the maximum extension point to the maximum flexion point possible. The subject responded to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain, how much pain did you have while bending your knee?"
