About this study

Official title: Ibuprofen 600 Mg Extended Release (er) Single-dose Dental Pain Study

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a single dose of an ibuprofen 600 mg extended release formulation in post-operative dental pain. There is concern that the manufacturing process may affect the performance characteristics of the selected prototype. Therefore, two formulations of this prototype manufactured by two different processes, [roller compaction] and [wet granulation] will be included in this study. The preferred prototype manufactured by two different methods will be compared to placebo and each other. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship with these formulations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Score From 0 to 12 Hours (SPID 0-12)

    Pain intensity difference (PID) score based on 4-point categorical pain intensity rating scale. Participants asked, "How much pain do you have at this time?" Range of scale: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3). SPID derived by adding the time-weighted sums of PID scores over the time interval. Scores could range from -12 to 36 where higher positive values indicated improvement (decrease in pain intensity).

    Measured: Baseline (0 hour) to 12 hours post dose

  2. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Score From 8 to 12 Hours (SPID 8-12)

    PID score based on 4-point categorical pain intensity rating scale. Participants asked, "How much pain do you have at this time?" Range of scale: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3). SPID score derived by adding the time-weighted sums of PID scores over the time interval. Scores could range from -4 to 12 where higher positive values indicated improvement (decrease in pain intensity).

    Measured: 8 to 12 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Time to First Perceptible Pain Relief

    Time to first perceptible relief (confirmed by meaningful relief) was defined as the elapsed time from dosing until the participant depresses the first stopwatch labelled "first perceptible relief", if the participant also depressed the second stopwatch labelled as "meaningful relief" by 6 hours. If the confirmation was not achieved, the participant was censored at 6 hours. Perceptible relief defined as when participant first begins to feel any pain relieving effect whatsoever of the drug. Does not necessarily mean the participant feels completely better, but when the participant first feels any difference in the pain he/she has currently.

    Measured: Baseline to 6 hours

  2. Time to Treatment Failure

    Time to first rescue medication or discontinuation due to lack of efficacy

    Measured: Baseline to 24 hours

  3. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Failure

    Treatment failure defined as use of rescue medication or discontinuation due to lack of efficacy.

    Measured: 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 hours

  4. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference From 0 to 4 Hours (SPID 0-4) and 4 to 8 Hours (SPID 4-8)

    Time-weighted sum of PID score. PID based on 4-point categorical pain intensity rating scale. Participants asked, "How much pain do you have at this time?" Range of scale: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3). SPID score derived by adding the time-weighted sums of PID scores over the time interval. Scores could range from -4 to 12 where higher positive values indicated improvement (decrease in pain intensity).

    Measured: 0 to 4 hours and 4 to 8 hours

  5. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Difference Scores (SPRID)

    Time-weighted sum of PRID score where PRID=PID+PR. PID: 4-point categorical pain intensity difference scale, 0 (none) to 3 (severe), score derived by subtracting postdose score from baseline, ranged from -1 to 3. Baseline pain intensity score of at least 2 required for enrollment. Higher positive PID values = improvement. PR: 5-point categorical pain relief scale None (0), A Little (1), Some (2), A Lot (3) or Complete (4). SPRID 0-4, SPRID 4-8, and SRID 8-12 scores ranged from -4 to 28, SPRID 0-12 ranged from -12 to 84, higher scores = greater improvement.

    Measured: 0 to 4 hours, 4 to 8 hours, 8 to 12 hours, and 0 to 12 hours

  6. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Scores (TOTPAR)

    TOTPAR based on 5-point categorical pain relief scale. Participants asked, "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" Range of scale: None (0), A Little (1), Some (2), A Lot (3) or Complete (4). Higher scores indicated improvement (better pain relief). For time-weighted sum of pain relief scores from 0 to 4 hours (TOTPAR 0-4), from 4 to 8 hours (TOTPAR 4-8), and from 8 to 12 hours (TOTPAR 8-12): range of scores 0 (worst) to 16 (best). TOTPAR 0-12 range of scores 0 (worst) to 48 (best).

    Measured: 0 to 4 hours, 4 to 8 hours, 8 to 12 hours, and 0 to 12 hours

  7. Percentage of Participants Achieving First Perceptible Relief Confirmed by Meaningful Relief

    The elapsed time from dosing until the participant indicated first perceptible relief, provided the participant also indicated achieving meaningful relief. Perceptible relief defined as when participant first begins to feel any pain-relieving effect whatsoever of the drug. Does not necessarily mean the participant feels completely better, but when the participant first feels any difference in the pain he/she currently has now.

    Measured: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes and every 60 minutes up to 360 minutes

  8. Time to Meaningful Pain Relief

    Participants evaluated the time to meaningful relief by depressing a second stopwatch at the moment they first began to experience meaningful relief, defined as relief from the pain that is considered meaningful to the participant.

    Measured: Baseline to 6 hours

  9. Percentage of Participants Achieving Meaningful Pain Relief

    Participants evaluated the time to first perceptible pain 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 defined as relief from the pain that is considered meaningful to the participant.

    Measured: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes and every 60 minutes up to 360 minutes

  10. Participant Global Evaluation of Study Medication at 12 Hours

    Participant rated global evaluation of study medication; results reported by evaluation categories and included very poor (0), poor (1), fair (2), good (3), very good (4), and excellent (5).

    Measured: 12 hours

  11. Participant Global Evaluation of Study Medication at 24 Hours

    Participant rated global evaluation of study medication; results reported by evaluation categories and included very poor (0), poor (1), fair (2), good (3), very good (4), and excellent (5).

    Measured: 24 hours

  12. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) Score

    PID based on 4-point categorical pain intensity rating scale. Participants asked, "How much pain do you have at this time?" Range of scale: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3). PID score derived by subtracting postdose score from baseline score and could range from -1 to 3. A baseline pain intensity score of at least 2 was required for study enrollment. Higher positive PID values indicated greater improvement (decrease in pain intensity).

    Measured: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 24 hours

  13. Pain Relief (PR) Score

    PR score based on 5-point categorical pain relief scale. Participants asked, "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" Range of scale: None [0], A Little [1], Some [2], A Lot [3] or Complete [4]. Higher scores indicated improvement (better pain relief).

    Measured: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 24 hours

  14. Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity Difference (PRID) Score

    PRID=PID+PR, where PID: 4-point categorical pain intensity difference scale, 0 (none) to 3 (severe), score derived by subtracting postdose score from baseline and could range from -1 to 3. Baseline pain intensity score of at least 2 was required for study enrollment. Higher positive PID values indicated improvement. PR: 5-point categorical pain relief scale (None [0], A Little [1], Some [2], A Lot [3], Complete [4]). PRID score could range from -1 to 7 where higher scores indicated better pain relief and decrease in pain intensity.

    Measured: 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 24 hours

  15. Peak Pain Relief Score

    Maximum PR score over the scheduled pain relief assessments. PR score based on 5-point categorical pain relief scale. Participants asked, "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" Range of scale: None (0), A Little (1), Some (2), A Lot (3) or Complete (4). Higher scores indicated improvement (better pain relief).

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 22 Mar 2018. 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 22 Mar 2018). 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-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Score From 0 to 12 Hours (SPID 0-12) (time frame: Baseline (0 hour) to 12 hours post dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Mar 2018.
