Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To confirm the effectiveness of a new Combination IM product of Thiocolchicoside and Diclofenac (Test product) compared to Diclofenac IM (Voltaren®/Novartis©) (Reference product) in patients with acute low back pain (LBP), on relief of pain as assessed by the patient by means of a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS) (scoring range 0–100) at the Test of Cure visit (3 hours from the time of administration of the medicinal product).;Secondary Objective: •To estimate the clinical improvement of muscle spasm of the Test compared to Reference at the Test of Cure visit (3 hours from the time of administrating the medicinal product). •To estimate the relief of pain of the Test product compared to the Reference at the Intermediate visit (1 hour from the time of administrating the medicinal product). •To estimate the clinical improvement of muscle spasm of the Test compared to the Reference at the Intermediate visit (1 hour from the time of administrating the medicinal product). •To demonstrate the safety and tolerability profile of the Test product compared to the Reference by assessing the occurrence of either topical or systemic AEs. ;Primary end point(s): Mean change in VAS from baseline to 3 hours after administration;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At screening and 3 hours post administration | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): •Mean change in VAS from baseline to 1 hour after administration •Proportion of patients with >30% reduction in pain intensity from baseline at 3 hours •Proportion of patients with >30% reduction in pain intensity from baseline at 1 hour •mean change of Finger-to floor distance from baseline to 3 hours post administration •mean change of Finger-to floor distance from baseline to 1 hour post administration •Proportion of patients withdrawn for reasons related to treatment and the proportion of patients experiencing adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At screening, 1 hour post administration, 3 hours post administration | — |
