Current Primary Outcome: Change From Baseline to Day 2 in Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline and Day 2 ]

The Patient's Pain Intensity in the Index Joint for the prior 24 hours was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), or Extreme (4).


Original Primary Outcome: The primary endpoint of the study will be the Change from Baseline to Day 2 (24-hour recall of pain experienced during Day 2 assessed on the morning of Day 3) in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity in the index joint.

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Change From Baseline in Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Days 5, 9, and 14/Early Termination: Tenderness [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14/Early Termination ]
    Tenderness was assessed on the basis of palpation or passive motion using a 4 point scale with the following ratings: the patient had no tenderness (0), the patient complained of pain (1), the patient complained of pain and winced (2) and the patient complained of pain, winced, and withdrew (3).
  • Change From Baseline in Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Days 5, 9, and 14/Early Termination: Swelling [ Time Frame: Baseline, Days 5, 9 and 14/Early Termination ]
    Swelling was assessed using a 4 point scale with the following ratings: none (0), palpable (1), visible (2), and bulging beyond joint margins (3)
  • Number of Participants With Redness Present According to Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14/Early Termination [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 14/Early Termination ]
    Redness was assessed by the physician as present or absent.
  • Number of Participants With Warmth Present According to Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on Day 5, Day 9, and Day 14 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 14 ]
    Warmth was assessed by the physician as present or absent.
  • Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 2 to Day 13 ]
    The Patient's assessment of pain for the prior 24 hours was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).
  • Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity on Day 1 [ Time Frame: Baseline, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours postdose Day 1, Day 2 (24 hours and 32 hours post first dose) ]
    The patient's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: my pain at this time is none (0), mild (1), moderate, (2), severe (3), and extreme (4).
  • Change From Baseline in Time Weighted Average of Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity Over 8, 12, and 24 Hours [ Time Frame: Baseline, 8, 12, and 24 hours post first dose ]
    Time weighted average over 8 (TWA-8), 12 (TWA-12) and 24 (TWA-24) hours post first dose of study medication on Day 1. Positive TWA values represent a reduction in pain intensity
  • Number of Participants With ≥30% and ≥50% Reduction From Baseline to Day 2 in Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 2 ]
    The Patient's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain over the past 24 hours has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).
  • Participant's Assessment of Pain Intensity for the Average Pain Intensity at Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    The participant's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My pain has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4).
  • Percentage Change From Baseline in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity for the Average Pain Intensity on Days 2-4, Days 2-8 and Days 2-13 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 13 ]
    The participant's assessment of pain was assessed by completion of the following 5 point scale: My change in pain has been: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate, (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). Average change over days was calculated by taking the change from Baseline to the average Pain Intensity score over the days for each patient.
  • Number of Participants With Withdrawal From Treatment Due to Lack of Efficacy [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 8 ]
    Withdrawal due to lack of efficacy was assessed from Days 1 to 8
  • Participants Global Evaluation of Study Medication Score [ Time Frame: Day 9 ]

    The participant rated the study medication that they received during the study by completing the following question:

    How would you rate the study medication you received for pain? 4=Excellent, 3=Good, 2=Fair, 1=Poor

  • Number of Participants With Pre-specified Gastrointestinal (GI) Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 14/Early Termination ]
    The gastrointestinal tolerability was measured by incidence of moderate or severe GI adverse events (nausea, abdominal pain and dyspepsia)
  • Number of Participants With Moderate or Severe Central Nervous System (CNS) Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 14/Early Termina

    Original Secondary Outcome:

    • Physician's Assessment of the Index Joint on : change from Baseline to each post-baseline assessment for "tenderness" and "swelling", and incidence at each post-baseline assessment of "redness and warmth"; [ Time Frame: Day 5, Day 9 and at Day 14, the end of the study visit ]
    • Change from Baseline to in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity (24-hour recall of pain experienced during prior day as assessed on the next morning for each day), and average change in this measure over Days 2-5 and Days 2-8; [ Time Frame: Days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 ]
    • Incidence of at least a 30% and 50% reduction from Baseline in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity on Day 2 (24-hour recall of pain experienced during Day 2 assessed on the morning of Day 3);
    • Percent change from Baseline in the Patient�s Assessment of Pain Intensity for the prior 24 hours to the average Pain Intensity on Days 2-5 and Days 2-8;
    • Time to withdrawal due to lack of efficacy over days 1-8;
    • Incidence of withdrawal due to lack of efficacy on Day 1 and over Days 1-8;
    • Patient's Global Evaluation of Study Medication score on Day 8 and Day 14;
    • Change from Baseline in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity at each of 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours post first dose of study medication on Day 1, and both prior to the first dose of study medication on Day 2 (~24 hours after initiating study medication)
    • and prior to the second dose of study medication on Day 2 (~32 hours after initiating study medication);
    • Time weighted average change from Baseline in the Patient's Assessment of Pain Intensity over 8 (TWA-8), 12 (TWA-12) and 24 (TWA-24) hours post first dose of study medication on Day 1;
