Trial summary

The primary aim of this study is to investigate if AZD1940 can relieve the pain induced by the surgical removal of one lower wisdom-tooth. This will be done by comparing the effect of AZD1940 to placebo ("inactive substance") on pain. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Analgesic Efficacy of a Single Dose of AZD1940, in Patients Undergoing Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Extraction

The primary aim of this study is to investigate if AZD1940 can relieve the pain induced by the surgical removal of one lower wisdom-tooth. This will be done by comparing the effect of AZD1940 to placebo ("inactive substance") on pain. A number of patients will instead receive the common painkiller naproxen for comparison purposes. Rescue medication, acetaminophen, will be allowed if a need for additional painkillers would arise. A number of patients will receive Naproxen as control.

  12. Maximum Deterioration in Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS) Stimulated

    Subjective qualities of mood in the subject are measured by letting the subject rate their subjective experiences of a number of adjectives using a series of visual analogue scales. Subjects are required to rate on 100-mm lines the extent to which they felt each adjective at a given time point from 'not at all' on the left end of the scale to 'extremely' on the right end of the scale. The VAMS commonly used in studies with cannabinoids consists of six adjectives and visual analogue scales: stimulated; high (as in drug high, elated); anxious; sedated; down (as in moody, depressed) and hungry.

    Measured: Between dosing and 12h post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD1940 and Naproxen in people with Pain, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Mar 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain Area Under the Curve 0-8h (AUC0-8h) (time frame: 0-8 h(from end of surgery to 8 hours post surgery)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2012.
