Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Summed Pain Intensity Difference Over the First Six Hours
6 hours post dose

The primary endpoint is the Summed Pain Intensity Difference over the first 6 hours (SPID6) after dosing compared between DFN-15 and placebo. Pain intensity (P) will be measured at timepoints of 15, 30, and 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, hours after baseline ,using 11-point Pain Intensity Numerical Rating Scale (NPRS). Zero (0) equals no pain and Ten (10) equals worst pain imaginable. SPID6 is created by summing the time weighted pain intensity differences (PID) scores using the area under the PID curve methodology. All SPID calculations will be performed using the standard trapezoidal rule SPIDx =∑\_(i=0)\^x▒((〖PID〗\_i+〖PID〗\_(i+1))/2) \* (T\_(i+1)- T\_i ) Where: PID\_i = P\_i - PBL (Pain score at time i and Pain score at Baseline), and (T\_i+1 - T\_i) is the Time difference in minutes between time i and time i+1. Therefore, SPID6 values may theoretically range between a maximum score of 0 ( no improvement) and a minimum score of -3525 (best improvement)

Pain Free, defined as a score of "0" on a numerical scale of "0" to "3"

Frequently asked questions about DFN-15

What is DFN-15?

DFN-15 is an investigational small molecule drug being developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd for the treatment of acute pain and migraine. It is a celecoxib oral solution and is also referred to as DFN-15 Dose 1, DFN-15 Dose A, and DFN-15 (Celecoxib Oral Solution) 62.5 mg. It remains in clinical development.

What is DFN-15 used for?

DFN-15 is being studied for acute pain and migraine. Clinical trials have evaluated it in patients with acute pain and in patients with migraine headaches. It is an investigational therapy and has not been established as a treatment option outside of clinical research.

Who is developing DFN-15?

DFN-15 is being developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, which trades under the ticker RDY. The company has sponsored the clinical trials evaluating DFN-15 in acute pain and migraine, including a Phase 2 efficacy and safety study and a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study.

What phase is DFN-15 in?

DFN-15 is in Phase 2 clinical development. Two completed Phase 2 trials have evaluated it in acute pain and migraine, and a completed Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study has also been conducted. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is DFN-15 in?

DFN-15 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT03554772, a Phase 2 efficacy, tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetic study in acute pain with 120 participants, NCT03282838, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic and food-effect study in healthy adults, and NCT02472418, a Phase 2 study of two dose levels versus placebo in migraine.

Is DFN-15 the same as celecoxib oral solution?

Yes, DFN-15 is a celecoxib oral solution. It is also known by the names DFN-15 Dose 1, DFN-15 Dose A, DFN-15 (fasted), and DFN-15 (Celecoxib Oral Solution) 62.5 mg. These names refer to the same investigational drug candidate developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd.
