Sponsor:	Abbott
Information provided by:	Abbott
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00404222

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (level of pain control) and safety of the administration of Extended Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and Immediate Release Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen with placebo over a 12 hour dosing period in patients who have had a bunionectomy, and to assess the safety of the drug for 7 days after patients are discharged from the hospital.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary efficacy variable is the time-interval weighted sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) using the visual analog scale (VAS) for the 0 to 12 hours following study drug administration. [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Sum of Pain Intensity Difference using a 100mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Time-interval weighted sum of pain relief (TOTPAR) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time-interval weighted sum of pain relief and pain intensity difference (SPRID) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time to first noticeable pain relief (i.e., onset of pain relief) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time to first meaningful pain relief (i.e. 50% reduction in pain from baseline) [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Proportion of subjects experiencing meaningful pain relief after dosing [ Time Frame: 12 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
