Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Wake Time After Sleep Onset (WASO) Measured by Actigraphy
Up to 10 hours

WASO was defined as Total wake time (in minutes) after sleep onset during the 10 hours in-bed period as measured by actigraphy. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.

Sleep Latency Measured by Actigraphy
Up to 10 hours

Sleep latency was defined as the time to sleep onset from the time of dosing as measured by actigraphy. Actigraphy is a non-intrusive tool that measures an individual's movement during sleep. Actigraphy was used to obtain data in discriminating between sleep and wake states in the subjects.

Frequently asked questions about DPH

What is DPH used for?

DPH is used for the treatment of postoperative pain, specifically postsurgical dental pain. It is a small molecule being developed by Bayer AG as an analgesic and sedative combination therapy. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development, with two completed trials evaluating its efficacy in patients with postsurgical dental pain.

What does DPH target?

DPH is a combination of naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine. Naproxen sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that targets cyclooxygenase enzymes to reduce pain and inflammation, while diphenhydramine is an antihistamine with sedative properties. The combination is designed to provide both analgesic and sedative effects for postoperative pain management.

Who makes DPH?

DPH is being developed by Bayer AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Bayer's stock is traded under the ticker symbol BAYRY on the OTC market. The company is conducting Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DPH for the treatment of postsurgical dental pain.

What phase is DPH in?

DPH is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total enrollment of 979 patients. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled, evaluating the analgesic and sedative efficacy of naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine in patients with postsurgical dental pain. DPH is not yet approved and remains investigational.

What clinical trials is DPH in?

DPH has been evaluated in two completed Phase 3 clinical trials. The first trial, NCT01280591, enrolled 712 patients with postsurgical dental pain in the United States. The second trial, NCT01495858, enrolled 267 patients. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled, assessing the analgesic and sedative efficacy of naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine.

Is DPH the same as naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine?

DPH is a combination product containing naproxen sodium and diphenhydramine. It is not the same as either drug alone, but rather a fixed-dose combination designed to provide both analgesic and sedative effects. The combination is being studied specifically for the management of postoperative pain following dental surgery.
