What is being measured

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

  1. Pain with walking during 5 meter walk test

    Mean pain rating on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with walking during the 5 meter walk test during the inpatient stay (0-48 hours)

    Measured: 0-48 hours after surgery

  2. Pain with walking during 15 meter walk test

    Mean pain rating on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with walking during the 15 meter walk test during the outpatient period up to Day 28

    Measured: Hospital Discharge to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain with 45 degrees of knee flexion

    Mean pain rating on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for 45 degrees passive knee flexion during the inpatient stay

    Measured: 0-48 hours after surgery

  2. Pain with 90 degrees of knee flexion

    Mean pain rating on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for 90 degrees passive knee flexion during the outpatient period to Day 28

    Measured: Hospital discharge to Day 28

  3. Total use of opioid medications (morphine equivalents) during hospital stay

    Measured: 0-48 hours after surgery

  4. Total use of opioid medications (morphine equivalents) post-discharge to Day 28

    Measured: Hospital Discharge to Day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AYX1 Injection 660 mg / 6 mL and AYX1 Injection 1100 mg / 10 mL in people with Postsurgical Pain, run by Adynxx, Inc. 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 6 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 4 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 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 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?

Pain with walking during 5 meter walk test (time frame: 0-48 hours after surgery). 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 4 Aug 2015.
