Overview

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the effects of IBU 5% Topical Gel versus topical placebo for the relief of pain associated with a first or second degree ankle sprain. Both twice daily and three times daily regimens will be evaluated.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) on Weight Bearing Over 3 Days (SPID WB0-3)

Time Frame: Over 3 Days (0-72 hours)

PI was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=most severe pain. Pain intensity difference (PID) was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID was calculated as the time-weighted sum of PID scores over 3 days (72 hours). Total score ranges from -360 (higher pain relief) to 432 (lower pain relief) for SPID WB0-3. SPID is a value of change from baseline and as pain score at base line is usually higher than that at post baseline, a negative value of SPID indicates higher pain relief from baseline.

Sum of Ankle Pain Intensity Difference on Weight Bearing Over 24 Hours After Dose 1 (SPID WB24)

Time Frame: 0 to 24 hours

PI was assessed on an 11-point numerical rating scale from 0=no pain to 10=most severe pain. PID was the difference between baseline PI (prior to the first dose) and current PI at assessment. SPID was calculated as the time-weighted sum of PID scores over 24 hours. Total score ranges from -120 (higher pain relief) to 144 (lower pain relief) for SPID WB24. SPID is a value of change from baseline. Pain score at base line is usually higher than that at post baseline. So negative value of SPID indicates pain relief from baseline, while a positive value means a worst pain comparing to baseline, a negative value of SPID indicates higher pain relief from baseline.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Sum of Pain Intensity Difference at Rest Over 24 Hours on Day 1 (SPID R24)(0 to 24 hours)
  • Change From Baseline in Participant's Global Assessment of Ankle Injury at Day 3 and 10(Baseline, Day 3, 10)
  • Change From Baseline in Physician Global Assessment of Ankle Injury at Day 3 and 10(Baseline, Day 3, 10)
  • Sum of Pain Intensity Difference at Rest and on Weight Bearing Over 6 Hours on Day 1 and Over 2 Hours on Day 3(Over 6 hours on Day 1, over 2 hours on Day 3)
  • Time to Rescue Medication After Initial Dose, and After Each Subsequent Dose(Post-Dose on Day 1 up to Day 10)
  • Number of Doses of Rescue Medication Used During the First 7 Days of Dosing(Baseline up to Day 7)
  • Percentage of Participants Taking Rescue Medication(Post first dose Day 1 up to Day 10)
  • Change From Baseline in Ankle Pain at Rest and Upon Weight Bearing (PID NRS) at Pre-specified Time Points(Baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12(Day1),24(Day2),30(Day2),36(Day2),48(Day3),50(Day3),54(Day3),60(Day3),72(Day4),78(Day4),84(Day4), 96(Day5),102(Day5), 108 (Day5), 120(Day6),126(Day6),132(Day6),144(Day7),150(Day7),156(Day7) hours post first dose on Day 1)
  • Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Scores at Rest Over 3 Days(Over 3 Days (0-72 hours))
  • Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Scores at Rest and on Weight Bearing Over 7 Days(Over 7 days (0-168 hours))
  • Change From Baseline in Participant Assessment of Normal Function and Activity at Day 3 and 10(Baseline, Day 3, 10)
  • Participant's Global Assessment of Medication at End of Study(Day 10)
  • Time to First Perceptible Relief and Meaningful Relief(0 to 3 hours on Day 1)
