Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Scores on 11-Point Numerical Scale From 0 to 24 Hours Post-dose (SPID11 [0-24])
0 to 24 hours post dose

Pain intensity was assessed on an 11-point numerical pain severity rating scale. SPID11 \[0-24\]: Time-weighted sum of Pain Intensity Difference (PID) scores over 24 hours. SPID11 score range was -120 (worst score) to 240 (best score) for SPID 0-24. PID was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points (pain severity score range: 0 =no pain to 10 =worst possible pain) from the baseline pain intensity scores (score range: 5 =moderate pain to 10 =worst possible pain; as participants with baseline pain score of at least moderate were included in study). Total possible score range for PID: -5 (worst score) to 10 (best score).

Change From Baseline in the Time-Weighted Sum of Muscle Soreness With Movement Over 0-24 Hours Post-Dose 1 (MSM 0-24 )
Baseline, 0 to 24 hours post-Dose 1 on Day 1

Participants were asked to complete one preacher curl, using the arm that was exercised earlier to stimulate muscle soreness on movement (MSM). Upon completion of preacher curl, participants were asked to rate their degree of MSM, using an 11 point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0=not sore and 10=extremely sore, higher score=more severity. Change from baseline in the time-weighted sum of MSM over 0-24 hours was derived as the MSM change from baseline multiplied by time elapsed since the previous assessment and summed over all assessments from Hour 0 to Hour 24 (range: -96 to 240, higher score indicates better response).

Secondary Endpoints

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Score on 11-Point Numerical Scale (SPID11) From 0 to 8, 6 to 8, 0 to 16, 8 to 16 and 0 to 48 Hours Post-dose
0 to 8 hours, 6 to 8 hours, 0 to 16 hours, 8 to 16 hours and 0 to 48 hours post dose
Duration of Relief After First Dose
Up to 8 hours after first dose
Time to Onset of "Meaningful" Pain Relief After First Dose

What is IBU used for?

IBU is a small molecule drug being developed by Pfizer, Inc. for the treatment of pain. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. IBU has been studied in clinical trials for pain conditions, including delayed onset muscle soreness and post-surgical dental pain.

Who makes IBU?

IBU is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PFE. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of pain.

What phase is IBU in?

IBU is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 3 trials, with a total enrollment of 328 participants. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and neither is currently active.

What clinical trials is IBU in?

IBU has completed two Phase 3 clinical trials. The first, NCT01794923, studied topical ibuprofen for delayed onset muscle soreness with 205 participants. The second, NCT02837952, studied ibuprofen 250mg combined with APAP 500mg for post-surgical dental pain with 123 participants.

Is IBU FDA approved?

IBU is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of pain. The completed clinical trials have not led to regulatory approval, and the drug remains under investigation.
