About this study

Official title: A Randomised Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Study of the Efficacy and Safety of 2 Doses of Ketoprofen Lysinate Lozenges (6.25 mg & 12.5 mg) in Patients With Sore Throat

Primary Objective:

To compare the single-dose efficacy of ketoprofen lysinate lozenges (6.25 mg and 12.5 mg ketoprofen base) with placebo, on total pain relief summed over 15 to 120 min (TOTPAR15-120) after the first intake of study drug.

Secondary Objectives:

To compare the single-dose efficacy of ketoprofen lysinate lozenges (6.25mg and 12.5mg ) with placebo after the first intake on:

  • the total pain relief summed over 15 to 360min (TOTPAR15-360)
  • the changes from baseline of global throat pain intensity assessed over 15 to 120min and over 15 to 360min.
  • the changes from baseline of throat soreness over 15 to 120min and over 15 to 360min
  • the changes from baseline of swollen throat over 15 to 120min and over 15 to 360min To compare pain relief, global throat pain intensity, throat soreness and swollen throat in the evening of days 1, 2 and 3

To evaluate the safety of ketoprofen lysinate lozenges (6.25mg and 12.5mg ) and placebo at follow-up visit on:

Day 4: - adverse events and clinical examination Day 7: - adverse events reporting (followed by a clinical examination if needed)

What is being measured

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

  1. The TOTPAR15-120 which is the sum of each pain relief scale score

    Measured: measured every 15 minutes during the 2 hours following the first study drug intake

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The TOTPAR15-360 which is the sum of each pain relief scale score

    Measured: Measured every 15 minutes during the 2 hours following the first study drug intake at study site then every hour up to 6 hours as outpatient.

  2. The global throat pain intensity

    Measured: assessed every 15 min during 2 hours after the first study drug intake

  3. The morning pain relief scale score

    Measured: measured in morning of days 1, 2 and 3

  4. The evening pain relief scale score

    Measured: measured in evening of days 1, 2 and 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing KETOPROFEN(RP19583) in people with Pain, run by Sanofi at 7 sites in 7 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 16 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 18 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Mexico and 2 more countries. 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The TOTPAR15-120 which is the sum of each pain relief scale score (time frame: measured every 15 minutes during the 2 hours following the first study drug intake). 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 18 May 2010.
