Inclusion Criteria

Before surgery:

  • Body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 38.0 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2)

  • Subject is lucid and able to follow commands
  • All analgesic guidelines were followed during and after the bunionectomy

  • History of cardiac dysrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmia treatment(s)
  • History of abnormal laboratory results >=2.5*upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • History of peripheral neuropathy
  • A known or clinically suspected infection with human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis B or C viruses
  • Prior medical history of bunionectomy or other foot surgery on the index foot
  • History of peptic ulcer disease, or intolerance or unwillingness to receive ibuprofen

After surgery:

VX-150 - Dose Level 3VX-150Participants received VX-150 500 mg q12h for 2 days.
VX-150 - Dose Level 1VX-150Participants received VX-150 1500 milligrams (mg) as first dose, followed by VX-150 750 mg every 12 hours (q12h) for 2 days.
VX-150 - Dose Level 4VX-150Participants received VX-150 500 mg as first dose, followed by VX-150 250 mg q12h for 2 days.
PlaceboPlaceboParticipants received placebo matched to VX-150 for 2 days.
VX-150 - Dose Level 2VX-150Participants received VX-150 1000 mg once daily (qd) for 2 days.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time-weighted Sum of the Pain Intensity Difference as Recorded on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 0 to 24 Hours (SPID24) After First Dose0 to 24 Hours After First Dose

SPID was calculated as the sum of the product of time (in hours) elapsed since previous measurements and pain intensity difference. Pain intensity difference was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points from the baseline pain intensity scores (using pain rating score range: 0= no pain to 10= worst possible pain). SPID24 was calculated from 0 to 24 hours and the score range was -240 (worst score) to 240 (best score).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference as Recorded on NPRS 0 to 48 Hours (SPID48) After First Dose0 to 48 Hours After First Dose

SPID was calculated as the sum of the product of time (in hours) elapsed since previous measurements and pain intensity difference. Pain intensity difference was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points from the baseline pain intensity scores (using pain rating score range: 0= no pain to 10= worst possible pain). SPID48 was calculated from 0 to 48 hours and the score range was -480 (worst score) to 480 (best score).

Proportion of Participants With at Least 50% Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After the First Dose of VX-150 Versus PlaceboFrom Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose

Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 50% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.

Proportion of Participants With at Least 30 Percent (%) Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After First Dose of VX-150 Versus PlaceboFrom Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose

Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 30% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.

Proportion of Participants With at Least 70% Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After the First Dose of VX-150 Versus PlaceboFrom Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose

Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 70% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.

Time to Onset of Confirmed Perceptible Pain Relief After First Dose of VX-150 Versus PlaceboUp to 6 hours After the First Dose

Time to onset of confirmed perceptible pain relief (time to onset of perceptible pain relief \[any pain relief at all after the first dose\] for participants who had meaningful pain relief \[relief that is meaningful to participants after the first dose\] reported based on the stopwatch assessment.
