Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pain relieving effect of different doses of MK0663 with placebo and other pain relievers/analgesics in patients with postoperative dental pain. Pain intensity and relief will be measured by the total pain relief score (TOPAR) and patient evaluation. Read more about this study

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total Pain Relief Score Over the First 6 Hours Post the Initial Day 1 Dose of the Study Medication (TOPAR6)

    TOPAR6 was calculated by multiplying the pain relief (PR) score (0- to 4-point Likert scale, with 0=None, and 4=Complete for pain relief) at each time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point, and summing these weighted values up to 6 hours post the initial Day 1 dose. The range of TOPAR6 score is 0 to 24.

    Measured: Over the first 6 hours post the initial Day 1 dose of the study medication

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient's Global Assessment of Study Medication at 24 Hours Post the Initial Day 1 Dose of the Study Medication

    Patient's Global Assessment of Study Medication was on 0- to 4- point scale, with 0=Poor, and 4=Excellent for patient's rating of the study medication for pain.

    Measured: At 24 hours post the initial Day 1 dose of the study medication

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Comparator: etoricoxib, Comparator: ibuprofen and Comparator: acetaminophen + codeine in people with Postoperative Dental Pain, run by Organon and Co.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 9 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 29 Jan 2010). 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?

Total Pain Relief Score Over the First 6 Hours Post the Initial Day 1 Dose of the Study Medication (TOPAR6) (time frame: Over the first 6 hours post the initial Day 1 dose of the study medication). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00694369, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Feb 2022.
