Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Diclofenac HPBCD 75mg/ml in Treatment of Pain Following Dental Surgery

Efficacy and Safety of a Single s.c. Diclofenac HPBCD 75mg/1ml Injection as Compared to a Single i.m. Voltarol® 75mg/3ml, in the Treatment of Acute Moderate-to-severe Post-surgical Pain Following Dental Surgery (Impacted 3rd Molar Removal).

The present study is aimed at demonstrating the therapeutic equivalence of diclofenac HPBCD 75mg/1ml s.c. with the marketed reference product, Voltarol® 75mg/3ml i.m. in the treatment of acute moderate-to-severe pain after dental impaction surgery.

• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
• Genders Eligible for Study: All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients undergoing surgical extraction of a single fully or partially impacted mandibular 3rd molar requiring bone removal.
• Patients experiencing moderate to severe post-operative pain within 6 hours from end of surgery.
• Pre-operative laboratory tests in the reference ranges or without clinically significant abnormalities as judged by the Investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Surgery performed under general anaesthesia, or sedation.
• Complications occurring during the surgical procedure or in the period before randomisation as judged by the investigator.
• Acute local or systemic infection at the time of surgery that could confound the post-surgical evaluation.
• Patients with clinical signs of gastritis, gastro-duodenal ulcer, GI bleeding. Other GI disturbances or disease that in the opinion of the investigator could be negatively affected by the administration of NSAIDs.
• Clinical signs or history of coagulation disorders that could be negatively affected by NSAIDs administration.
• Hepatic or renal impairment.
• Patients with significant cardiac impairment, history of cerebrovascular disease, history or peripheral arterial disease, uncontrolled hypertension.
• Hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs or to one of the study medication components.
• Patients under chronic treatment with topical or systemic analgesics/NSAIDs.
• Patients under treatment with any medication that may affect the treatment efficacy evaluation.
• Patients under treatment with any medication whose concomitant use may be susceptible to interactions with diclofenac or may affect safety.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pain Intensity Difference (PID)	Pain intensity difference (PID) was derived by subtracting each pain intensity score (PI) from the baseline PI score (t0), where PI was assessed by the patient on a 0-100 mm VAS (from 0 = no pain to 100 = worst pain imaginable).	1.5 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
PIDs	at 15 minutes post-dose.
PIDs	at 30 minutes post-dose.
PIDs	at 45 minutes post-dose.
PIDs	at 60 minutes post-dose.
PIDs	at 90 minutes post-dose.
PIDs	at 2 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 3 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 4 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 5 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 6 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 7 hours post-dose.
PIDs	at 8 hours post-dose.
