Registration Number
NCT00553605
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, double dummy, comparative, active-controlled trial designed to assess the analgesic activity and safety of intravenous doses of parecoxib 40 mg relative to intravenous doses of ketoprofen 100 mg for the treatment of renal colic in outpatients presenting at emergency room settings. This trial is designed to show non-inferiority of parecoxib related to ketoprofen.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Pain Intensity Difference at 30 Minutes (mPID30min)Minute 30

mPID score was obtained by summation of product of length of the interval and difference in pain intensity (PI) divided by summation of length of the interval. Summation was done from zero to 30 minutes. Difference in pain intensity was obtained by subtracting the Pain Intensity Visual Analogue Scale (PI-VAS) at Minute 30 from baseline PI-VAS score. PI-VAS assessed with response to the question "How much pain are you having right now?" on a 100 millimeter (mm) line, with 0 mm=no pain, 100 mm= worst possible pain. mPID score ranged from -100 to 100. Positive score= improved response in pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Pain Relief (PR)Minute 30, 120

PR was assessed on a 5-point categorical pain relief rating scale wherein 0= None, 1= a little, 2= Some, 3= a lot and 4= Complete relief.

Number of Participants With Response in Pain IntensityMinute 30

PI-VAS assessed with response to the question "How much pain are you having right now?" on a 100 mm line, with 0 mm=no pain, 100 mm= worst possible pain. Responders were those who had a decreased in VAS of at least 20 mm.

Mean Pain Intensity Difference at 120 Min (mPID120min)Minute 120

mPID score was obtained by summation of product of length of the interval and difference in pain intensity (PI) divided by summation of length of the interval. Summation was done from zero to 120 minutes. Difference in pain intensity was obtained by subtracting the Pain Intensity Visual Analogue Scale (PI-VAS) at Minute 120 from baseline PI-VAS score. PI-VAS assessed with response to the question "How much pain are you having right now?" on a 100 millimeter (mm) line, with 0 mm=no pain, 100 mm= worst possible pain. mPID score ranged from -100 to 100. Positive score= improved response in pain.

Patient's Global Evaluation of Study MedicationMinute 30, 120

Participants' response to the question "How would you rate the study medication you received for pain?" on a 4-point categorical scale, 1=Poor, 2= Fair, 3=Good, 4=Excellent was evaluated.

Time-specific Pain Intensity (PI) VAS ScoreBaseline, Minute 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120

PI-VAS assessed with response to the question "How much pain are you having right now?" on a 100 mm line, with 0 mm=no pain, 100 mm= worst possible pain.

Time-specific Pain Intensity Difference (PID) at Minute 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120Baseline, Minute 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120

PID score was obtained by subtracting the PI-VAS at each time point from baseline PI score. PI-VAS assessed with response to the question "How much pain are you having right now?" on a 100 mm line, with 0 mm=no pain, 100 mm= worst possible pain. PID score ranged from -100 to 100. Positive score= improved response in pain.

Physician's Global Evaluation of Study MedicationMinute 30, 120

Physicians' response to the question "How would you rate the study medication the patient received for pain?" on a 4-point categorical scale, 1=Poor, 2= Fair, 3=Good, 4=Excellent was evaluated.

Number of Participants With Use of Rescue Medication (RM)Up to Minute 120

Rescue medications included intravenous 0.1 to 0.2 mg/kilogram (kg) of morphine or 1 mg/kg of pethidine or muscle relaxants.

Time-weighted Sum of Pain Relief Score Over 120 Min (TOTPAR120min)Baseline through Minute 120

TOTPAR: time-weighted sum of Pain Relief (PR) over 120 min. TOTPAR score range was 0 (worst) to 480 (best). PR was assessed on a 5-point categorical pain relief rating scale wherein 0=No relief to 4=Complete relief.
