Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oxycodone HCl and niacin are effective in the treatment of pain following bunionectomy surgery.
Detailed Description:
This was a Phase III, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, repeat dose study of the safety and efficacy of 2 dose levels of Acurox™ Tablets versus placebo for the treatment of moderate to severe postoperative pain following bunionectomy surgery.
Patients underwent a primary unilateral first metatarsal bunionectomy with or without ipsilateral hammer toe repair during standardized local anesthesia with intravenous (IV) sedation. Eligible patients who reported moderate or severe pain within 6 hours after surgery entered the Treatment Phase and were randomized to 1 of 3 double blind treatments: placebo tablets or 1 of 2 dose levels of Acurox™ Tablets (ocyxcodone HCl/niacin). The Treatment Phase continued with study medication every 6 hours (irrespective of rescue medication use) for 48 hours (8 doses of study medication). Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) was available as a rescue medication upon request.
