Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) on Weight Bearing Over 3 Days (SPID WB0-3)
Over 3 Days (0-72 hours)

PI was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=most severe pain. Pain intensity difference (PID) was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID was calculated as the time-weighted sum of PID scores over 3 days (72 hours). Total score ranges from -360 (higher pain relief) to 432 (lower pain relief) for SPID WB0-3. SPID is a value of change from baseline and as pain score at base line is usually higher than that at post baseline, a negative value of SPID indicates higher pain relief from baseline.

Sum of Ankle Pain Intensity Difference on Weight Bearing Over 24 Hours After Dose 1 (SPID WB24)
0 to 24 hours

PI was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=most severe pain. PID was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID was calculated as the time-weighted sum of PID scores over 24 hours. Total score ranges from -120 (higher pain relief) to 144 (lower pain relief) for SPID WB24. SPID is a value of change from baseline. Pain score at base line is usually higher than that at post baseline. So negative value of SPID indicates pain relief from baseline, while a positive value means a worst pain comparing to baseline, a negative value of SPID indicates higher pain relief from baseline.
