What is being measured

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

  1. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Difference Scores From 0 to 12 Hours After the First Dose (SPRID 0-12)

    SPRID is time-weighted sum of pain relief (PR) plus pain intensity (PI) difference (PID) (PRID) scores. 5-point categorical scale for PR: "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" (0 equals [=] none, 1=a little, 2=some, 3=a lot, 4=complete). 4-point categorical scale for PI: "How much pain do you have at this time?" (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). PID score=baseline pain intensity score minus pain intensity at each time point; score ranged from -1 to 3; higher positive PID value indicated improvement in pain intensity. SPRID 0-12 score ranged from -12 to 84; higher score indicated better efficacy.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 hours

  2. Sum of Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Difference Scores From 8-12 Hours After the First Dose

    SPRID is time-weighted sum of PR plus PID (PRID) scores. 5-point categorical scale for PR: "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" (0=none, 1=a little, 2=some, 3=a lot, 4=complete). 4-point categorical scale for pain intensity: "How much pain do you have at this time?" (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). PID score=baseline pain intensity score minus pain intensity at each time point; score ranged from -1 to 3; higher positive PID value indicated improvement (decrease) in pain intensity. SPRID 8-12 score ranged from -4 to 28; higher score indicated better efficacy.

    Measured: 8 to 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) Scores

    SPID is a derived endpoint from PID scores. For pain intensity, "How much pain do you have at this time?" answered on a 4-point categorical scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). PID score=baseline pain intensity score minus pain intensity at each time point; score ranged from -1 to 3; higher positive PID value indicated improvement (decrease) in pain intensity. SPID scores ranged as follows: 0 to 12 hour (-11.5 to 35.5), 8 to 12 hour (-6.0 to 18.0), 12 to 24 hour (-14.0 to 42.0), 20 to 24 hour (-8.0 to 24.0), 0 to 24 hour (-23.5 to 71.5), 24 to 36 hour (-16.0 to 48.0), 32 to 36 hour (-8.0 to 24.0), 36 to 48 hour (-16.0 to 48.0), 44 to 48 hour (-8.0 to 24.0), 24 to 48 hour (-28.0 to 84.0); higher positive values indicated improvement (decrease) in pain intensity.

    Measured: 0 to 12 hours, 8 to 12 hours, 12 to 24 hours, 20 to 24 hours, 0 to 24 hours, 24 to 36 hours, 32 to 36 hours, 36 to 48 hours, 44 to 48 hours, 24 to 48 hours

  2. Time to First Dose of Rescue Medication After First Dose of Study Drug

    During the first 12 hours of the study, participants not experiencing adequate relief after the 1-hour time point were allowed to take a single tablet (dose) of acetaminophen/hydrocodone hydrochloride (HCl) 500 mg/5 mg as a rescue medication (the only rescue medication allowed). The time at which rescue medication was taken was recorded.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 hours

  3. Percentage of Participants Taking Rescue Medication

    Participants not experiencing adequate relief after the 1-hour time point during each dosing interval were allowed to take a single tablet (dose) of acetaminophen/hydrocodone HCl 500 mg/5 mg as a rescue medication (the only rescue medication allowed) during each interval.

    Measured: Baseline to 48 hours

  4. Pain Relief (PR) Scores

    A 5-point categorical pain relief rating scale was used to rate pain relief in response to the question: "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" Responses were scored as follows: 0=none, 1=a little, 2=some, 3=a lot, 4=complete. Higher score indicated more pain relief.

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours

  5. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) Scores

    For pain intensity, "How much pain do you have at this time?" answered on a 4-point categorical scale. Responses were scored as follows: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. PID score=baseline pain intensity score minus score at each time point. PID scores ranged from -1 to 3. Higher positive PID scores indicated greater improvement (decrease in pain intensity).

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 hours

  6. Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity (PRID) Scores

    PRID score=PR plus PID. 5-point categorical scale for PR: "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" (0=none, 1=a little, 2=some, 3=a lot, 4=complete). 4-point categorical scale for pain intensity: "How much pain do you have at this time?" (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe). PID score=baseline pain intensity score minus pain intensity at each time point; PID score ranged from -1 to 3; higher positive PID value=improvement. PRID scores ranged from -1 to 7. Higher PRID scores indicated better pain relief and decrease in pain intensity.

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 hours

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

    TOTPAR is a derived endpoint from PR scores. 5-point categorical scale for PR: "How much relief do you have from your starting pain?" (0=none, 1=a little, 2=some, 3=a lot, 4=complete). TOTPAR 0-12 scores ranged from 0 (worst) to 48 (best). TOTPAR 8-12 scores ranged from 0 (worst) to 16 (best).

    Measured: 0-12 hours, 8-12 hours

  8. Number of Doses of Rescue Medication Used

    Measured: 0-12, 12-24, 24-36, 36-48, 0-48 hours

  9. Time to Confirmed First Perceptible Relief

    The elapsed time from dosing until the participant indicated first perceptible pain relief by pressing the first stopwatch, provided the participant also indicated achieving meaningful relief by pressing the second stopwatch. Perceptible relief defined as when participant first began to feel any pain-relieving effect whatsoever of the drug. Did not necessarily mean the participant felt completely better, but when the participant first felt any difference in the pain he/she is currently feeling.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 hours

  10. Time to Meaningful 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 was considered meaningful to the participant.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 hours

  11. Participant Global Evaluation Score

    Participants responded, on a 6-point categorical scale, to the following question: "How would you rate this medication as a pain-reliever?" Responses on this categorical scale ranged as follows: 0=very poor, 1=poor, 2=fair, 3=good, 4=very good, 5=excellent.

    Measured: 24 and 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ibuprofen 600 mg ER in people with Pain, run by Pfizer at 2 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 4 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 15 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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 15 Aug 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 Relief and Pain Intensity Difference Scores From 0 to 12 Hours After the First Dose (SPRID 0-12) (time frame: Baseline to 12 hours). 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 15 Aug 2018.
