Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of methoxyflurane (Penthrox™) for the treatment of acute pain in patients presenting to an ED with minor trauma. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the: • safety of the inhaled analgesic study drug for the treatment of acute pain in patients presenting to an Emergency Department with minor trauma; • efficacy of the inhaled analgesic study drug for the treatment of acute pain in patients with minor trauma during their time in the ED ;Primary end point(s): The primary analysis will be an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis of the difference between treatment and placebo on the VAS pain score.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary model will be a repeated measures analysis of variance of the change from baseline to 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes following the start of administration of study medication, adjusted for the baseline VAS score in the ITT population. The treatment effect will be estimated as the average difference between the methoxyflurane treated group and the placebo group at these time points. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Evaluation of Adverse Events (AEs) experienced during treatment, not associated with the underlying minor trauma.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation of Adverse Events (AEs), including safety laboratory samples, up to 14 ± 2 days following ED discharge. | — |
