What is being measured

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

  1. Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)

    Categorical pain intensity scale - no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), or severe pain (3) was used for all pain intensity assessments postdose. Time-weighted Sum Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) was calculated by multiplying the Pain Intensity Difference (PID) score at each postdose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values over 0-24 and 16-24 hours, respectively.

    Measured: 0 to 24 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR)

    Pain relief categorical rating scale - no relief (0), a little relief (1), some relief (2), a lot of relief (3), or complete relief (4) was used for all pain relief assessments postdose. Time weighted total pain relief (TOTPAR) was calculated by multiplying the pain relief score at each postdose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values.

    Measured: 0-24 hours post dose

  2. Summed Pain Intensity Difference at Specific Time Intervals

    Categorical pain intensity scale - no pain (0), mild pain (1), moderate pain (2), or severe pain (3) was used for all pain intensity assessments postdose. Time-weighted Sum Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) was calculated by multiplying the Pain Intensity Difference (PID) score at each postdose time point by the duration (in hours) since the preceding time point and then summing these values for 0-6, 0-12, 0-16 hour intervals, respectively.

    Measured: 0-16 hours post dose

  3. Time to First Use of Rescue Medication

    Time to first use of rescue medication was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and analyzed by a Log rank test stratified by trial site and baseline pain intensity (PI). The outcome measure is time to first use of rescue medication. The criteria are if adequate pain relief is not achieved, then subjects are permitted to take rescue medication.

    Measured: postdose to first use of rescue medication

  4. Global Assessment of the Investigational Product as a Pain Reliever

    Categorical Scale: Poor (0), Fair (1), Good (2), Very Good (3), Excellent (4).

    Measured: at 24 hours postdose or immediately before first use of rescue medication

  5. Time to Onset of Effect

    Time to onset of effect is defined as the time to meaningful pain relief, provided that the subjects experienced both "perceptible" and "meaningful" pain relief. Perceptible pain relief was defined as when the subject first began to feel any pain-relieving effect from the investigational product. Meaningful pain relief was defined as when the subject felt the degree of pain relief was meaningful to them.

    Measured: from postdose to onset of first perceptible and meaningful pain relief for up to 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Naproxen Sodium ER (BAYH6689) in people with Toothache, run by Bayer at 3 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 5 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 25 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 25 Jan 2011). 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?

Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) (time frame: 0 to 24 hours post dose). 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 NCT00720057, 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 25 Aug 2015.
