简要总结
This is a Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Group, Comparative Clinical Study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of test product Aceclofenac topical ointment 1.5% w/w of Panacea Biotec Ltd. with comparator Voveran Emulgel® (Diclofenac Sodium1.0% w/w) gel of Novartis India Ltd. for the treatment of acute musculoskeletal conditions.Around 186 subjects will be randomized in this study (Including 20% drop outs), 93 subjects in each treatment arm & all subjects will have to apply 2 gm of study treatment topically to the affected area 2 times daily for 8 days.
Efficacy of the study drug will be measured by in terms of pain intensity, overall clinical response and need for the rescue medications.
