What is being measured

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

  1. SPID48 (Summed pain intensity difference)

    48 hour Summed pain intensity difference

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety and tolerability of COV155

    Safety and tolerability to be evaluated with physical exams, vital signs, pulse oximetry, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, and adverse events

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Onset of analgesia of COV155 versus placebo

    Onset of confirmed perceptible pain relief, time to meaningful pain relief, and time to peak pain intensity difference

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Analgesic effects of COV155 versus placebo

    Pain intensity scores, pain intensity differences, and summed pain intensity differences; pain relief scores and total pain relief; percent responders; mean dosing interval; use of rescue medication; global assessment of subject satisfaction with study treatment.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing COV155 in people with Pain, Postoperative and Bunion, run by Mallinckrodt at 5 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 12 inclusion and 21 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 19 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

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?

SPID48 (Summed pain intensity difference) (time frame: 48 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 19 Oct 2016.
