Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Ibuprofen 5% roll-on gel versus placebo roll-on gel in human adult patients for the treatment of pain related to uncomplicated ankle injuries. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of Ibuprofen 5% roll-on gel compared with placebo roll-on gel in human adult patients.;Primary end point(s): • VAS pain score change over time from baseline (day 0 before treatment administration) to day 7;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Only measurements from the study visits (day 0, 3 and 7) will be included in the analysis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Percentage VAS pain score change from baseline separately to day 3 and 7. • Area under VAS curve according to study visit measurements and patient diary from baseline separately to day 3 and 7 morning assessment. • Proportions of responders separately at day 3 and 7. • Time to reduction of 50% in pain score from baseline. • Proportion of patients who needed rescue medication during the study. • Change in VRS scores from baseline separately to day 3 and 7. - Functional impotence (absent, slight, moderate, severe). - Single leg load-bearing on the injured foot (possible without pain, possible with pain, impossible). - Assessment of pain (absent, slight, moderate, severe) by the investigator: pain at rest, pain under passive tension, pain under active tension, and pain on palpation. • Overall assessment of efficacy (excellent, good, poor) separately at day 3 and 7 by the patient. • Overall assessment of efficacy (excellent, good, poor) separately at day 3 and 7 by the investigator. • Change in peri-articular oedema (difference in perimeter between the injured and healthy ankle) over time from baseline to day 7. • The need for rescue medication. Tolerability assessments: • Condition of the skin (normal, abnormal) at day 0, 3 and 7 • Overall assessment of tolerability by patient (excellent, good, acceptable, poor) at day 3 and 7 • Overall assessment of tolerability by investigator (excellent, good, acceptable, poor) at day 3 and 7 Safety assessments: • Physical examination including general and systemic examination and vital signs monitoring (blood pressure, heart rate and axillary temperature in sitting posture) will be done at day 0, 3 and 7. • Adverse event (AE) monitoring will be done at every visit. Patients will maintain a patient diary to record AEs and concomitant medications. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day 0 to day 7
