What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time-weighted Sum of The Temperature Differences From Baseline Through Hour 6 (STEMPD 0-6)
Time Frame: 0 to 6 hours
STEMPD 0-6 was defined as time-weighted sum of temperature differences over 6 hours, weighted by the time elapsed between each 2 consecutive time points. Temperature difference was defined as baseline temperature minus post-baseline temperature at each time point, where positive value indicated improvement in body temperature.
0 to 6 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time-weighted Sum of The Temperature Differences From Baseline Through Hour 4 and Hour 8 (STEMPD 0-4 and STEMPD 0-8)
Time Frame: 0 to 4, 0 to 8 hours
STEMPD 0-4 and STEMPD 0-8 were defined as the time-weighted sum of temperature differences over 4 hours and 8 hours, weighted by the time elapsed between each 2 consecutive time points. Temperature difference was defined as baseline temperature minus post-baseline temperature at each time point, where positive value indicated improvement in body temperature.
0 to 4, 0 to 8 hours
Change From Baseline in Temperature at Hours 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8
Time Frame: Baseline, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours
Change from baseline in temperature was calculated as baseline temperature minus post-baseline temperature at each time point, where positive value indicated improvement in body temperature.
Baseline, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours
Time to Treatment Failure
Time Frame: 0 to 8 hours
Median time of dropping out of the participants from the study due to lack of efficacy or use of rescue medication, whichever comes first.
0 to 8 hours
Cumulative Percentage of Participants With Treatment Failure
Time Frame: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours
Percentage of participants who withdrew from the study due to lack of efficacy or received rescue medication.
0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 hours
Global Assessment of Study Medication as an Antipyretic
Time Frame: 8 hours
Global assessment of study medication was performed at the 8-hours time point or immediately before taking rescue medication (if necessary). It was scored on a 5-point categorical scale where 0=poor, 1=fair, 2=good, 3=very good, and 4=excellent.
8 hours
Rating of Study Medication Relative to Usual Medication
Time Frame: 8 hours
Rating of study medication was performed at the 8-hours time point or immediately before taking rescue medication (if necessary). It was scored on a 5-point categorical scale where 0=poor, 1=fair, 2=good, 3=very good, and 4=excellent.
8 hours
