What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were events between first dose of study drug and up to 37 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. TEAEs included SAEs and all non-SAEs that occurred during the study.

    Measured: Day 1 of dosing up to maximum of 37 days after last dose (maximum up to 42 days)

  2. Number of Participants Who Took at Least 1 Concomitant Medication

    Concomitant medications were medications that were taken concurrently on or after first dose of study drug.

    Measured: Day 1 of dosing up to maximum of 37 days after last dose (maximum up to 42 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Abnormal Urinalysis Findings

    Urine parameters included gravity, glucose, protein, and bilirubin. Abnormalities were judged by the investigator.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing) up to study discharge/early termination (maximum up to Day 5)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities at Baseline

    12-lead ECG parameters were evaluated. Clinically significant abnormal ECG findings were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing)

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    12-lead ECG parameters were evaluated. Clinically significant abnormal ECG findings were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to Day 5)

  6. Change From Baseline in Blood Pressure at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    Change from baseline in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in millimeter of mercury (mmHg) was reported. The blood pressure was assessed after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to 5 days)

  7. Change From Baseline in Blood Pressure at Clinic Follow-up Visit

    Change from baseline in SBP and DBP in mmHg was reported. The blood pressure was assessed after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Clinic follow-up visit (4-10 days after last dose, maximum up to 15 days)

  8. Change From Baseline in Respiratory Rate at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    Respiratory rate was measured after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to 5 days)

  9. Change From Baseline in Respiratory Rate at Clinic Follow-up Visit

    Respiratory rate was measured after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Clinic follow-up visit (4-10 days after last dose, maximum up to 15 days)

  10. Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    Change from baseline in heart rate in beats per minute was reported. The heart rate was assessed after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to 5 days)

  11. Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Clinic Follow-up Visit

    Change from baseline in heart rate in beats per minute was reported. The heart rate was assessed after the participant had taken rest for 5 minutes.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing), Clinic follow-up visit (4-10 days after last dose, maximum up to 15 days)

  12. Number of Participants With Wound Assessment at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    Wound assessment had 6 questions, completed by investigator/sub-investigator. Question related to extent of healing; extent and degree of inflammation and extent of drainage had options: much better than expected, better than expected, normal, slower than expected, and much slower than expected. Question related to separation of surgical incision had options: no separation, barely detectible separation, localized separation, mostly separated, and complete separation (dehiscence). Question related to infection at surgical site had options: definitely, no infection, possibly infected, probably infected, certainly infected, and abscess/gross cellulitis. Question related to prescription of postoperative systemic antibiotics had options: no, yes for prophylaxis, and yes for infection. Every question there was category "Not Done" for participants with no wound assessment other than the reason 'missing' and category "Missing", where participants were missing for wound assessment.

    Measured: Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to Day 5)

  13. Number of Participants With Thrombophlebitis Assessment Evaluation at Baseline

    Thrombophlebitis assessment evaluation was done using following grades: 0 equals to (=) no reaction, 1= tenderness along the vein, 2= continuous tenderness of pain with redness, 3= palpable swelling or thrombosis within length of cannula, 4= palpable swelling or thrombosis beyond the length of the cannula and 5= palpable swelling or thrombosis beyond the length of the cannula with overt infection.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1, immediately before dosing)

  14. Number of Participants With Thrombophlebitis Assessment Evaluation at Study Discharge/Early Termination

    Thrombophlebitis assessment evaluation was done using following grades: 0= no reaction, 1= tenderness along the vein, 2= continuous tenderness of pain with redness, 3= palpable swelling or thrombosis within length of cannula, 4= palpable swelling or thrombosis beyond the length of the cannula and 5= palpable swelling or thrombosis beyond the length of the cannula with overt infection.

    Measured: Study discharge/early termination (maximum up to Day 5)

  15. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Abnormalities at Screening

    Physical examination included the assessment of general appearance, skin; head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat (HEENT); neck/thyroid; oral cavity; lymph nodes; cardiovascular; lungs; abdomen; genitourinary; neurologic and joints/extremities. Clinically significant physical examination findings were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: Screening (0 to 21 days prior to surgery)

  16. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Abnormalities at Clinic Follow-up Visit

    Physical examination included the assessment of general appearance, skin; HEENT; neck/thyroid; oral cavity; lymph nodes; cardiovascular; lungs; abdomen; genitourinary; neurologic and joints/extremities. Clinically significant physical examination findings were based on investigator's discretion.

    Measured: Clinic follow-up visit (4-10 days after last dose, maximum up to 15 days)

A Phase 3 study testing DIC075V (intravenous diclofenac sodium) in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by Pfizer at 46 sites 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 13 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 46 sites 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. 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 13 Oct 2021). 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Day 1 of dosing up to maximum of 37 days after last dose (maximum up to 42 days)). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00726388, 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?
