What is being measured

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

  1. Pain at Rest - Part B

    Pain at rest measured by a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) from time 0 to 96 hours (AUC 0-96). NRS pain scores at rest were collected at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and every 4 hours there after post the time of entry into the PACU (while the patient is awake), until discharge from the inpatient until at 96 hour. NRS area under the curve (AUC) is the weighted sum of current pain intensity assessments for a specified time interval. The NRS ranks pain from 0-10; zero being no pain present and 10 being the worst possible pain. Other than 0 and 10, no other pain ratings (2-9) were labeled.

    Measured: Up to 96 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evoked NRS - Part B

    Evoked NRS pain scores (three maneuvers: coughing, sitting up, walking) from time 0-96 hours. Evoked NRS scores were obtained twice daily in the morning at 10:00AM (± 1h) and in the afternoon at 4:00PM (±1 h).

    NRS area under the curve (AUC) is the weighted sum of current pain intensity assessments for a specified time interval. The NRS ranks pain from 0-10; zero being no pain present and 10 being the worst possible pain. Other than 0 and 10, no other pain ratings (2-9) were labeled.

    Measured: Up to 96 hours

  2. Opioid Consumption - Part B

    Total opioid consumption (OC) converted to an oral morphine equivalent (OME) dose from 0 to 96 hours (OC 0-T96) and 0 to Day 8 (OC 0-D8).

    Measured: Up to Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CA-008 (vocacapsaicin) in people with Postsurgical Pain, run by Concentric Analgesics 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 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 14 Sep 2022. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 14 Sep 2022). 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?

Pain at Rest - Part B (time frame: Up to 96 hours). 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 14 Sep 2022.
