What is being measured

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

  1. Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)

    Ratings of Pain Intensity (PI) were made using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on which 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain possible. The PI values were obtained at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours following the first dose of study medication on Day 1. Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. A summed PID (SPID) on the first postoperative day was calculated at 8 hours.

    Measured: 8 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)

    Ratings of Pain Intensity (PI) were made using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on which 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain possible. The PI values were obtained at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours following the first dose of study medication on Day 1. Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. A summed PID (SPID) on the first postoperative day was calculated at 4 and 6 hours.

    Measured: 4 and 6 hours postdose

  2. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR)

    Scores were obtained from the pain relief evaluations by taking a weighted sum of pain relief scores. Pain relief was measured at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours on a 5-point categorical scale where 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief.

    Measured: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose

  3. Pain intensity difference (PID) and pain relief scores

    Ratings of Pain Intensity (PI) were made using a 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) on which 0 = no pain and 100 = worst pain possible. PID was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. Pain relief was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief.

    Measured: Before receiving study drug (baseline), at 20 and 40 minutes, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 hours postdose

  4. Peak PID score

    PID was calculated by subtracting the posttreatment score from the baseline score, where the baseline score was the PI rating made prior to the first dose of study medication. Peak PID was defined as the maximum PID score.

    Measured: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose

  5. Peak pain relief scores

    Pain relief was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = no pain relief, 1 = a little pain relief, 2 = some pain relief, 3 = a lot of pain relief, and 4 = complete pain relief. Peak pain relief was defined as the maximum peak pain relief score.

    Measured: 4, 6, and 8 hours postdose

  6. Time to onset of perceptible pain and meaningful pain relief

    The onset of pain relief was measured by the subjects stopping stopwatches when perceptible and meaningful relief was felt.

    Measured: After study drug administration until perceptible and meaningful pain relief was felt (during the 8-hour postdose observation period)

  7. Time to first use of rescue medication

    Duration of analgesia represented by the time until rescue analgesic therapy was requested.

    Measured: After study drug administration until rescue analgesic therapy was requested (during the 8-hour postdose observation period)

  8. Proportion of subjects taking rescue medication

    Proportion of subjects taking rescue medication in either group during the 8-hour postdose observation period.

    Measured: During 8-hour postdose observation period

  9. Global pain control

    The subject was asked the question "How was your pain control overall?" This evaluation was measured on a 5-point categorical scale with 0 = poor, 1 = fair, 2 = good, 3 = very good, and 4 = excellent.

    Measured: At the end of the 8-hour observation period, or at the time the subject took rescue analgesic medication if prior to 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ketorolac tromethamine in people with Pain and Dental Impaction, run by Egalet Ltd 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 8 inclusion and 20 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 9 Feb 2017. 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?

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?

Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) (time frame: 8 hours postdose). 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 9 Feb 2017.
