Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
407
Inclusion Criteria
  • Male and female patients aged from 18 years of age
  • Patients scheduled to undergo the removal of one third soft-tissue impacted or not-impacted mandibular molar (associated or not to an ipsilateral erupted maxillary molar) under short-acting local anaesthetic preoperatively;
  • Patients weighing > 50 kg;

Additional inclusion criteria

  • Patients experiencing a moderate pain within 4 hours after the dental extraction, defined by a baseline pain intensity Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) score ≥ 40 mm and ≤ 60 mm;
  • Third mandibular molar extraction completed without any immediate complication, that in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study conduct and/or assessments (e.g., suspected neurosensory complication, incomplete removal of tooth).
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient who undergoes an extraction of contralateral molar in the same procedure or a bony-impacted molar;
  • Patients treated by analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within the 3 days prior to the day of randomization (or within 5 times the elimination half-life whichever the longest);
  • Patient who received other analgesic than short-acting preoperative or intraoperative local anaesthetic agents within 12 hours before the start of the surgery or peri-operatively until randomization;
  • Patients with any known hypersensitivity to paracetamol, ibuprofen or ingredients contained in IMPs and Non-Investigational Medicinal Product (NIMP);

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ranked Efficacy Endpoints: 1. Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID0-60min)At 60 minutes

Pain Intensity Difference will be calculated using the scores of pain intensity assessed by the patient at defined time-points (T5, T10, T15, T20, T30, T45, T60 min) after the IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 100-mm Visual Analogic Scale (0= no pain and 100= worst imaginable pain) compared to baseline

Proportion of responder patients at 60 minutes (versus 500 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)).At 60 minutes

A responder patient is defined as a subject who achieves a reduction of 50 % of pain intensity compared to baseline.

Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) versus 1000 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)At 60 minutes
Onset of pain relief (versus 500 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)At 60 minutes

Defined as the period for the patient to reach a meaningful pain relief during the first 60 min post-IMP intake.

After completion of the 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS) at T5, T10, T15, T20, T30, T45, T60 min post-IMP intake assessment time points, the patient will have to answer this question "Do you consider this level of pain relief as meaningful - Yes or No?"

Onset of pain relief (versus 1000 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)).At 60 minutes

Defined as the period for the patient to reach a meaningful pain relief during the first 60 min post-IMP intake.

After completion of the a 5-point verbal rating scale at T5, T10, T15, T20, T30, T45, T60 min post-IMP intake assessment time points, the patient will have to answer this question "Do you consider this level of pain relief as meaningful - Yes or No?"

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sum of Pain Intensity Difference at 5 minutes (SPID0-5min), 10 minutes (SPID0-10min), 30 minutes (SPID0-30min), 45 minutes (SPID0-45min), 1 hour (SPID0-1h), 2 hours (SPID0-2h), 4 hours (SPID0-4h), and 6 hours (SPID0-6h).At 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours.

Pain Intensity Difference will be calculated using the score of pain intensity assessed by the patient at defined time-points (T5, T10, T15, T20, T30, T45, T90, T120, T180, T240, T300 and T360 min) after IMP intake or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 100-mm Visual Analogic Scale compared to baseline.

Proportion of patients taking a rescue analgesic treatment.At 6 hours
Proportion of responders at 60 minutes (versus 1000 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)).At 60 minutes

A responder patient is defined as a subject who achieves a reduction of 50 % of pain intensity compared to baseline.

Proportion of responders at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours and then 6 hours.At 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours and then 6 hours.

A responder patient is defined as a subject who achieves a reduction of 50 % of pain intensity compared to baseline at each time point of the study.

Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) versus 500 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)At 60 minutes
Total Pain Relief at 1 hour (TOTPAR0-1h), 2 hours (TOTPAR0-2h), 4 hours (TOTPAR0-4h) and 6 hours (TOTPAR0-6h)At 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours.

Pain relief (PAR) will be assessed by the patient at defined time points (T5, T10, T15, T20, T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T180, T240, T300 and T360 min) after IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 5-point verbal rating scale.

Period of time before taking rescue analgesic treatment intake.Up to 24 hours after dose
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) versus 500 mg and 1000 mg of the reference oral paracetamol (Panadol®)At 360 minutes
