Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Tapentadol Immediate Release (IR) and Oxycodone IR for Treatment of Acute Post-op Pain Following Elective Arthroscopic (Surgery Using a Thin Flexible Scope) Shoulder Surgery (NCT NCT00814580)

NCT ID: NCT00814580

Last Updated: 2012-11-20

Results Overview

Pain Intensity (PI) was assessed on 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID72 was calculated as the time-weighted Sum of PID scores over 72 hours. The range of SPID72 is from -720 to 720. The higher value in SPID indicates greater pain relief.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 Days (72 hours)

Population: The modified Intent-to-Treat(mITT) population was defined as all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of study drug within 24 hours of randomization and had a baseline pain intensity score \>= 4 on an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS).

Pain Intensity (PI) was assessed on 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=pain as bad as you can imagine. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID72 was calculated as the time-weighted Sum of PID scores over 72 hours. The range of SPID72 is from -720 to 720. The higher value in SPID indicates greater pain relief.

Timeframe: 7 Days

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat Population

From date of first administration of study medication to time to achieve adequate 50% reduction in pain intensity from baseline score. Censored observations included subjects who completed or discontinued from the study without a 50% reduction in pain intensity from baseline score. If a subject discontinued due to lack of efficacy (including rescue medication), the subject was censored on Day 7, 12 PM.

Timeframe: Day 3

Population: Modified Intent-to-Treat Population

The 30% responder rate was defined as the proportion of participants with a value of percentage change greater than or equal to the 30% from baseline in pain intensity at Day 3 (average of Day 3 PM and Day 4 AM). If a subject has only the Day 3 PM value or Day 4 AM value, then response rate will be based on the non-missing value. If a subject withdraws or uses rescue medication before Day 3 PM then Baseline Observation Carried Forward (BOCF) will be imputed. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) may be used if no value afterward.

Pain Relief was defined as a 5-point categorical scale of 0-4 (0=none, 1=A little, 2=Some, 3=A lot, 4=Complete). Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) was calculated as the time-weighted sum over all pain relief up to hour 48. The range of TOTPAR over 2 days is from 0 to 192.
