Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 6 months (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-4 Hours of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to the determine the area under the plot of plasma concentrations of drug against time after drug administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
4 hours
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to measure the maximal or peak measured serum concentration (Cmax) of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) after its administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
4 hours
Elimination Half Life (T 1/2) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to determine the half-life or the period of time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced to exactly one-half of a given concentration or amount. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
4 hours
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to determine the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) after its administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
