Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To confirm the efficacy of the combination
From the start to the end of the study (D 0 to D 28)
Incidence of dyspeptic symptoms: epigastric pain, dyspepsia, nausea
At Day 10
The TOTPAR15-120 which is the sum of each pain relief scale score
measured every 15 minutes during the 2 hours following the first study drug intake
Resting pain intensity measured using the numeric scale (NS) at the end of the day, and total intake of concomitant analgesics over 5 days. For these two parameters, the maximum value will be assigned to patients who used step II or III analgesics
between D1 and D5, at the end of the day

Secondary Endpoints

Incidence of dyspeptic symptoms: epigastric pain, dyspepsia, nausea
At Day 0, Day 4 & Day 28
Incidence of complications (perforations, ulcers, bleeding) and Incidence of fecal occult blood positivity
At study termination (Day 28)
Improvement of pain (VAS)
At study termination (Day 28)

Frequently asked questions about KETOPROFEN

What is KETOPROFEN used for?

KETOPROFEN is used for the treatment of pain. It is a small molecule developed by Sanofi (ticker SNY) and has been studied in Phase 3 clinical trials for pain indications, including post-traumatic or rheumatologic acute affections of the locomotor apparatus and sore throat. It is also being evaluated in a fixed-dose combination with omeprazole.

What does KETOPROFEN target?

KETOPROFEN targets PTGS2 and PTGS1, also known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1). It acts as an inhibitor of these enzymes. By inhibiting PTGS1 and PTGS2, KETOPROFEN reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain and inflammation.

Who makes KETOPROFEN?

KETOPROFEN is developed by Sanofi, which trades under the ticker SNY. Sanofi has conducted Phase 3 clinical trials of KETOPROFEN for pain indications, including studies of a fixed-dose combination with omeprazole and a lysine salt lozenge formulation.

What phase is KETOPROFEN in?

KETOPROFEN is in Phase 3 clinical development. Three Phase 3 trials have been completed, with a total enrollment of 1,262 participants. These trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. No active trials are currently ongoing.

What clinical trials is KETOPROFEN in?

KETOPROFEN has been studied in three completed Phase 3 trials: NCT00971581, which evaluated a fixed-dose combination of ketoprofen plus omeprazole; NCT00929877 (KRYSTAL), which tested ketoprofen lysinate sore throat lozenges; and NCT00810121 (BIPROPAIN), which compared Bi-Profenid 200 mg versus 300 mg in acute locomotor pain.
