Summary

Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of OKITASK® 40 mg granules versus Placebo in patients with acute pain syndrome after removal of one molar tooth by comparing AUC0-6h of posttreatment pain profile measured by VAS. Secondary objectives: To assess the following efficacy and safety parameters of OKITASK® 40 mg granules versus Placebo in patients with acute pain syndrome after removal of one molar tooth: * Time profile of pain and time profile of pain relief using VAS scales * Time to first perceptible pain relief (TFPR) and time to meaningful pain relief (TMPR) * Proportion of patients requiring rescue medication (analgesia) and time to rescue analgesia * Patient's overall assessment * Rate of adverse events (AE)

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Signed Informed Consent Form;
  • Male and female, from 18 years to 65 years (inclusively);
  • Subjects who undergo removal of a non-impacted molar tooth within 3 hours before randomization in the study;
  • Subjects in generally good health (based upon criteria for safe administration of outpatient conscious sedation);
  • Subjects requesting relief for postoperative pain within 3 h after the tooth extraction (VAS ≥30 mm);
  • Subjects willing to undergo observation period for up to 9 hours after the tooth extraction;
  • Ability to complete a 100 mm VAS and a category scale during the observation period (about 9 hours);
  • Full comprehension: ability to comprehend the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects; ability to co-operate with the Investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study;
  • Contraception (for females): females of child-bearing potential must be using at least one reliable method of contraception, as follows:
  • hormonal oral, implantable, transdermal, or injectable contraceptives;
  • a non-hormonal intrauterine device [IUD] or female condom with spermicide or contraceptive sponge with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide; or should have:
  • a male sexual partner who agrees to use a male condom with spermicide;
  • a sterile sexual partner.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects undergoing extraction of impacted and dystopic teeth, tooth preserving operations, apically positioning flap/vestibuloplasty with free gingival graft from the palate;
  • Subjects undergoing more than one tooth extraction in the same extraction procedure;
  • Subjects undergoing dental implantation simultaneously with tooth extraction;
  • Allergy: ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active substances (ketoprofen and paracetamol as rescue medication) and/or formulations' ingredients; history of hypersensitivity to drugs (in particular to NSAIDs) or allergic reactions in general, which the Investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study;
  • Diseases: relevant history of renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, respiratory (including asthma), skin, haematological, endocrine, gastro-enteric and genitourinary tract or neurological and autoimmune diseases, that may interfere with the aim of the study;
  • Medications: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and other analgesics [in particular ketoprofen, paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)], antihistamines, sedating medications, including herbal and BASs, taken 48 h before surgery;
  • Investigational drug trials: participation in the evaluation of any drug within 3 months before screening (including the last study procedure);
  • Relevant history of drug and alcohol abuse.
  • Positive Pregnancy test in female patients of childbearing potential (including patients in post-menopausal status for less than 2 years).
