Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNS013 with single oral dose administration in participants with pain after tooth-extraction of mandibular impacted wisdom tooth.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center (conducted in more than one center), double-blind (neither Physician nor participant knows the name of the assigned drug), randomized (study drug assigned by chance), parallel-group (each group of participant will be treated at the same time) and comparative study in participants having pain intensity of at least 50.0 millimeter (mm) (on visual analog scale, score ranging from 0 mm \[no pain\] to 100 mm \[worst possible pain\]), following extraction of an impacted mandibular wisdom tooth. The study consists of 3 parts: Pre-observation (7 days before study commences on Day 1); Treatment (Day 1, consists of single oral dosing of either tramadol plus acetaminophen and placebo; or tramadol and placebo; or acetaminophen and placebo) and Follow-up (Day 2 and 8). All the eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 study treatments. Efficacy of the participants will primarily be evaluated through total pain relief, which will be evaluated on numerical rating scale. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Pain Relief Based on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score8 hours

Total pain relief was evaluated using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Higher score indicates treatment response.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Pain Relief Based on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score Every 4 Hours up to 8 HoursBaseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Total pain relief was evaluated using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Higher score indicates treatment response.

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID)Baseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Pain Intensity (PI) was assessed using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Scores were measured at Baseline (that is, 0 hours after tooth extraction) and 8 hours post-administration of study treatments.Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated (that is, for 0-8 hours, time point \[8 hour\] score minus baseline \[0 hour\] score).

Sum of Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity Difference (SPRID)Baseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

The SPRID is the sum of pain relief scores combined with pain intensity difference, score ranging from from (-) 24 (the worst) through 56 (the most improved). Higher score indicates treatment response. Pain Intensity (PI) and Pain relief (PAR) were assessed using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Scores were measured at Baseline (that is, 0 hours after tooth extraction) and at 8 hours post-administration of study treatments. Pain intensity difference (PID) was calculated (that is, for 0-8 hours, time point \[8 hour\] score minus baseline \[0 hour\] score).

Change From Baseline in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours Post-administration of Study Treatment0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Pain was assessed by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score ranges from 0 millimeter (mm)=no pain to 100 mm=worst possible pain. An increase in score from Baseline represented disease progression and decrease represented treatment response.

Mean Change Over Time for Pain Intensity Difference (PID) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours Post-Administration of Study Treatment0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

The PID is defined as difference between current pain intensity (PI) and Baseline PI, PI was assessed using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Higher score indicates treatment response. Mean change from Baseline (that is, 0 hours after tooth extraction) at specified end time points were evaluated.

Mean Change Over Time for Pain Relief (PAR) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours Post-administration of Study Treatment0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Pain Relief (PAR) was assessed using numerical rating scale score ranging from 0 to 32, wherein 0 indicates no treatment response and 32 indicates the most improved. Higher score indicates treatment response. Mean change from Baseline (that is, 0 hours after tooth extraction) at specified end time points were evaluated.

Mean Change Over Time for Pain Relief Combined With Pain Intensity Difference (PRID) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Hours Post-administration of Study Treatment0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Pain Relief combined with pain Intensity Difference (PRID) represented pain relief scores combined with Pain Intensity difference (PID) scores. PRID score ranges from -3 (the worst) through +7 (the most improved). Higher score indicates treatment response. Mean change from Baseline (that is, 0 hours after tooth extraction) at specified end time points were evaluated.

Number of Participants Treated With a Relief AnalgesicBaseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Participants who were treated with a relief analgesic were assessed. Analgesics are the compounds capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Response Based on Evaluation Criteria for Efficacy of Analgesics in Post-Tooth-Extraction PainBaseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Percentage of participants were assessed with treatment response based on "evaluation criteria for efficacy of analgesics in post-tooth-extraction pain" for the efficacy of analgesics used to treat pain following tooth extraction. Participants were assessed as "very effective, effective, somewhat effective and ineffective" for the following categories: Pain suppression (PS), speed of pain relief (SPR), duration of pain relief (DPR), general effectiveness (GE). Participants judged the treatment as "extremely useful, useful, not useful \& could not be assessed" for overall evaluation (OE).

Time to Reach the Onset of Drug Efficacy and Time to Recurrence of Pain After the Onset of Drug EfficacyBaseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Time to reach the onset of drug efficacy (TOE) means time took by participants for the onset of relief from pain after tooth-extraction and time to recurrence of pain (TOR) after the onset of drug efficacy (that is, duration of drug efficacy) were assessed after study drug treatment.

Percentage of Participants With Categorical Score for Patient ImpressionsBaseline up to 8 hours post-administration of study treatment

Percentage of participants with patient impressions were assessed on categories, that are: worked well; worked; worked a little; and didn't work.
