Study to Investigate the Analgesic Efficacy of a Single Dose of AZD1386

AstraZeneca103 enrolled

Overview

The primary aim of this study is to investigate if AZD1386 can relieve the pain induced by the surgical removal of one lower wisdom-tooth. This will be done by comparing the effect of AZD1386 to placebo ("inactive substance") on pain. A number of patients will instead receive the common painkiller naproxen for comparison purposes. Rescue medication, acetaminophen, will be allowed if a need for additional painkillers would arise. A number of patients will receive naproxen as control.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference in Percent (SPID%)

Weighted sum of the pain intensity (PI) differences in percent for the given time frame. PI values are weighted according to the time since the previous PI assessment (or the time of administration of the investigational product for the first post-dose assessment). SPID% = elapsed since previous value, where is the PI difference in percent at assessment t. High values=good effect, low values=poor effect Pointwise assessments of pain are measured using a VAS scale (0-100 mm), as described in the secondary outcome measure (PI).

Time frame: from the start of administration of the investigational product up to the time of first administration of rescue analgesic or up to a maximum of 8 hours

Secondary Outcomes

Pain Intensity (PI) by Using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (0-100 mm)

0 = 'No pain' 100 ='Worst pain imaginable' Up to 16 individual assessments were performed and contained in the derived primary outcome measure, thus not reported separately.

Time frame: Immediately prior to administration of investigational product (IP). After intake of IP assessment will be made every 15 min for the first 2 h, at 2h and 30 min, 3 h and thereafter every hour up to 8 h after intake of IP.

Time to First Perceptible Pain Relief

First perceptible pain relief is the time at which the participant begins to feel any pain relief at all. The time to first perceptible pain relief was reported by the participant using a stopwatch. Each time the watch is stopped, the participants will rate their pain intensity. Note: Participants who do not report first perceptible pain relief, and participants who report first perceptible pain relief after rescue intake, have the corresponding time censored to 8 hours.

Time frame: from the start of administration of the investigational product up to the time of first administration of rescue analgesic or up to a maximum of 8 hours

Time to First Meaningful Pain Relief

First meaningful pain relief is the time when the participant's pain relief feels meaningful. The time to first meaningful pain relief will be reported by the participant using a stopwatch. Each time the watch is stopped, the participants will rate their pain intensity. Note: Participants who do not report first meaningful pain relief, and participants who report first meaningful pain relief after rescue intake, have the corresponding time censored to 8 hours.
