  42. Time-weighted Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) Over the 24-hour Study Period (SPID24)

    The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity [PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and at protocol-specified time points throughout the 24 hour period. The time-weighted SPID24 is the time-weighted summed PID over the 24-hour study period. A negative score indicates an increase in pain intensity and a higher score indicates a greater decrease in pain intensity.The scores ranged from - 72 to 204.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  43. Time-weighted Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) Over the 48-hour Study Period (SPID-48) Study Period

    The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity [PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and at protocol-specified time points and throughout the 48 hour period. The time-weighted SPID48 is the time-weighted summed PID over the 48-hour study period. A negative score indicates an increase in pain intensity and a higher score indicates a greater decrease in pain intensity.The scores ranged from -144 to 408.

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  44. Time-weighted Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) Over the 72-hour Study Period (SPID-72) Study Period

    The pain intensity difference (PID) at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity [PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)]. A pain intensity score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) is obtained at baseline and at protocol-specified time points throughout the 72 hour period. The time-weighted SPID72 is the time-weighted summed PID over the 72-hour study period. A negative score indicates an increase in pain intensity and a higher score indicates a greater decrease in pain intensity. The scores ranged from -239 to 624.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  45. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) Over the 24-hour Study Period (TOTPAR24)

    Total pain relief over the 24-hour study period. A higher TOTPAR score means a greater relief in pain. Range of scores was from 0.00 to 96.00.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  46. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) Over the 48-hour Study Period (TOTPAR48)

    Total pain relief over the 48-hour study period. A higher TOTPAR score means a greater relief in pain. Range of scores was from 0.00 to 192.00.

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  47. Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) Over the 72-hour Study Period (TOTPAR72)

    Total pain relief over the 72-hour study period. A higher TOTPAR means a greater relief in pain. Range of scores was from 0.00 to 288.00.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  48. Pain Intensity (PI) at Each Evaluation Time Point

    At protocol-specified time points, the patient is asked to self-record his/her current level of pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale where 0 equals no pain and 10 equals the worst possible pain.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  49. Pain Intensity Difference (PID) at Each Evaluation Time Point

    The PID at each evaluation time point after the dose of study drug is the difference in pain intensity at the specific evaluation time point and baseline pain intensity [PID(evaluation time after the first dose) = PI(baseline) - PI(evaluation time after the first dose)]. The higher the PID score, the lower the pain intensity. The scores ranged from - 239 to 624.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  50. Pain Relief (PR) at Each Evaluation Time Point

    At protocol-specified time points, the patient is asked to self-record his/her current level of pain relief on 5-point numerical rating scale where 0 equaled no pain relief and 4 equaled complete pain relief. The baseline score references the baseline pain intensity score and the following timepoints reference pain relief scores.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  51. Patient Usability Questionnaire (PUQ)

    Questionnaire completed by patients at the end of his/her participation in the study regarding the usability of Zalviso.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  52. Nurse Usability Questionnaire (NUQ)

    Questionnaire regarding the usability of Zalviso completed by HCPs who had set up at least 5 Zalviso Systems for patients

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  53. Number of Study Drug Doses Used

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  54. Average Hourly Use of Study Drug

    Average number of study drug doses used per hour, adjusting by treatment exposure time and study period

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  55. Average Inter-dosing Interval (in Minutes)

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

  56. Total Amount of Supplemental Morphine (mg) Utilized

    Supplemental opioid medication (2 mg IV morphine) was allowed in the first 30 minutes after the first on-demand dose of study drug had been administered, if necessary, to keep a patient comfortable. Otherwise, supplemental opioid medication (2 mg IV morphine, no more frequently than hourly) was allowed for pain due to ambulation or with the initiation of passive range of motion therapy throughout the remainder of the study.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Zalviso™ 15 mcg in people with Moderate-to-severe Acute Pain, run by Talphera, Inc at 11 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 8 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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. 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 8 Aug 2018). 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?

Percentage of Patients Who Experienced at Least One System-generated Error Based on the Controller Data While Using the Zalviso System (time frame: Up to 72 hours). The study lists 56 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 8 Aug 2018.
