Trial Outcomes & Findings for Co-crystal E-58425 vs Tramadol and Celecoxib for Moderate to Severe Acute Pain After Bunionectomy. Phase III Clinical Trial. (NCT NCT03108482)

NCT ID: NCT03108482

Last Updated: 2019-01-24

Results Overview

The primary efficacy variable was the Pain Intensity (PI) measured by the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS); a scale from zero to 10 on which subjects circled a single number to indicate current pain level, with zero representing "No Pain" and 10 representing "Worst Possible Pain". The primary analysis endpoint was the Sum of Pain Intensity Differences (SPID) from 0 to 48 hours. Pain Intensity Differences (PID) was the difference between current PI at assessment minus baseline PI (prior to the first dose). Baseline PI ranged from 5 to 9. SPID was calculated as a time-weighted Sum of PID scores over 48 hours. Negative differences correspond to an amelioration of pain, while positive differences correspond to recrudescence of pain. The total scale ranged from -480 (best) to +480 (worst). A higher negative value of SPID indicates greater pain relief.
