What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Analgesic Efficacy - Sum of Pain Intensity Difference and Pain Relief Scores Over Six Hours (SPRID6)

    Weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference and Pain Relief Scores Over Six Hours (SPRID6) - pain intensity and pain relief were evaluated using a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no pain and 100 = very severe pain for pain intensity and 0 = no relief and 100 = complete relief for pain relief. For SPRID6, the total possible minimum value is -300 (worst) and the total possible maximum value is 1200 (best). The weights used in the calculation of weighted sums were equal to the elapsed time (hour) between the time point of interest and the preceding time point.

    Measured: 6 Hours

Secondary outcomes (42)
  1. Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Over Six Hours (SPID6)

    Weighted Sum of the Pain Intensity Difference from Baseline Over Six Hours (SPID6) - pain intensity was evaluated using a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no pain and 100 = very severe pain.

    Measured: within 6 Hours

  37. Time to Confirmed Perceptible Pain Relief

    Minutes until confirmed perceptible pain relief was achieved. A stopwatch was provided to the subject after ingestion of the study medication. The subject was instructed to stop the stopwatch when they first began to feel any pain relieving effect whatsoever of the drug, that was when they first felt any pain relief. It did not necessarily mean they felt completely better, although they might have, but when they first felt any difference in the pain.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Acetaminophen in people with Pain, run by McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc. 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 3 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 28 May 2012. 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 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 28 May 2012). 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?

Overall Analgesic Efficacy - Sum of Pain Intensity Difference and Pain Relief Scores Over Six Hours (SPRID6) (time frame: 6 Hours). 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 NCT01115673, 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 28 May 2012.
