Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Collect Information on How Well the Study Drug Naproxen Sodium Tablets Works Compared to Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen Tablets in Order to Relieve Pain in Participants Experiencing Moderate to Severe Pain After Having Their Wisdom Teeth Removed (NCT NCT04307940)

NCT ID: NCT04307940

Last Updated: 2022-07-14

Results Overview

Pain intensity is measured using Numerical Rating Scale (from 0 to 10: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain). For each post dose time point, pain intensity difference (PID) is derived by subtracting the pain intensity at the post dose time point from the baseline intensity score (baseline score - post-baseline score). A positive difference is indicative of improvement. Sum of Pain Intensity Differences (SPIDs) was calculated by multiplying the PID score at each post-dose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values over the specific time period. SPID over 12 hours ranges from -120 to 120. A higher value indicates a better pain reduction.

Participant Flow

Study was conducted at one center in the US between 12-MAR-2020 (first participant first visit) and 05-OCT-2020 (last participant last visit).

Overall, 221 participants were randomized into this post-operative dental pain study; 90 participants received naproxen sodium treatment, 87 participants received hydrocodone/APAP (acetaminophen) treatment, and 44 participants received placebo.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 12 hours postdose

Population: PP Population: all subjects in safety population who provided at least one pain assessment after the first dose of study drug and did not have any major protocol violations and completed the 12-hour assessments.

Pain intensity is measured using Numerical Rating Scale (from 0 to 10: 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain). For each post dose time point, pain intensity difference (PID) is derived by subtracting the pain intensity at the post dose time point from the baseline intensity score (baseline score - post-baseline score). A positive difference is indicative of improvement. Sum of Pain Intensity Differences (SPIDs) was calculated by multiplying the PID score at each post-dose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values over the specific time period. SPID over 12 hours ranges from -120 to 120. A higher value indicates a better pain reduction.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 12 hours postdose

Population: PP Population: all subjects in safety population who provided at least one pain assessment after the first dose of study drug and did not have any major protocol violations and completed the 12-hour assessments.

Pain relief is measured using Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = A little relief, 2 = Some relief, 3 = A lot of relief, 4 = Complete relief). Total Pain Relief is calculated as the area under the curve of pain relief score over time for the given time period by multiplying the pain relief score at each time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values over the specific time period. TOTPAR over 12 hours ranges from 0 to 48, a higher value indicates more pain relief.

To quantify the use of opioid analgesics in treatment of post-operative dental pain, the amount of rescue medications (opioids) was converted to a standard unit, which was Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME) using below formula: MME/Day = Strength per Unit × (Number of units / Days supply) × MME conversion factor
