What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Meaningful Pain Relief

    Subjects evaluated the time to "First Perceptible" Relief by depressing a stopwatch at the moment they first began to experience "perceptible" relief and the time to "Meaningful" Relief by depressing a second stopwatch at the moment they first began to experience "meaningful" relief. These times were recorded up to 6 hrs after dosing. Range: up to 6 hrs, a lower number is better.

    Measured: 0-6 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) Scores at Each Individual Time Points

    PID is based on the 4-point categorical pain severity score ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), this value was derived by subtracting the score at each post-dosing time point from the baseline score, so that a higher positive value is indicative of greater improvement.

    Measured: 0-6 hours

  2. Pain Relief (PR) Scores at Individual Time Points

    Response to the question "How much pain do you have from your starting pain?" was recorded on a 5-point categorical pain relief scale (None (0), A Little (1), Some (2), A Lot (3) or Complete (4)) at designated time points after study medication was taken.

    Measured: 0-6 hours

  3. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief + Pain Intensity Difference (SPRID) From 0-2 Hours and 0-6 Hours

    SPRID is a derived endpoint from the pain relief and pain intensity difference scores from 0-2 hours and 0-6 hours. PRID=PID+Pain Relief Score. SPRID-02 range: -2 (worst) to 14 (best); SPRID 06 range: -6 (worst) to 42 (best).

    Measured: 0-2 and 0-6 hours

  4. Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity Difference (PRID) Scores at Individual Time Points

    PRID (PRID=PID+PR) is a derived endpoint from the pain relief and pain intensity difference scores at each time point. Range: -1 (worst) to 7 (best).

    Measured: 0-6 hours

  5. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) From 0-2 Hours and 0-6 Hours

    SPID is a derived endpoint from the pain intensity difference scores from 0-2 hours and 0-6 hours. Range: -2 (worst) to 6 (best); -6 (worst) to 18 (best).

    Measured: 0-2 and 0-6 hours

  6. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Scores (TOTPAR) From 0-2 Hours and 0-6 Hours

    TOTPAR is a derived endpoint from the pain relief scores from 0-2 hours and 0-6 hours. Range: 0 (worst) - 8 (best); 0 (worst) - 24 (best)

    Measured: 0-2 and 0-6 hours

  7. Time to First Perceptible Relief

    The elapsed time from dosing until the patient indicated first perceptible relief, provided the subject also indicated achieving meaningful relief.

    Measured: 0-6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ibuprofen Formulation 1 and ibuprofen Formulation 2 in people with Pain, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer 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 7 inclusion and 0 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 6 Jun 2011. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 12 Aug 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?

Time to Meaningful Pain Relief (time frame: 0-6 hours). 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 6 Jun 2011.
