Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time-weighted SPID30
30 minutes after dosing

time-weighted SPID30 is the sum of the pain intensity difference (PID) over the 30 minute time period. A pain intensity score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worse possible pain) is recorded at pre-dose, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes post-dose. The pain score at each assessment time through 30 minutes is subtracted from the baseline pain score to provide the total sum score or SPID30. A higher SPID30 is better and indicates a reduction in pain intensity compared to the baseline score.

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Titration of sufentanil, the DBL sufentanil & PBOEXPERIMENTALDuring the Titration Phase, patients titrated to the effective dosage of sublingual sufentanil NanoTab™(20, 30, 40, 60 or 80 mcg). One sublingual sufentanil NanoTab™ was taken as needed for breakthrough pain. During the Double-Blind Phase, patients were then randomized to one of six treatment sequences, each of which included seven active doses of sublingual sufentanil (dosage determined in Titration Phase) and three placebo doses taken in random order. One NanoTab™ was taken as needed for breakthrough pain.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Sublingual sufentanil NanoTabs™ and placebo NanoTabs™DRUGDuring the Titration Phase, patients titrated to the dose of sufentanil that provided adequate pain relief without intolerable side effects. Dosages were 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 mcg. During the Double Blind Phase, patients were randomized to one of six sequences and took 7 doses of sufentanil (dosage determined in the titration phase, and 3 doses of placebo.
