Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Time-weighted Sum of the Pain Intensity Difference as Recorded on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 0 to 24 Hours (SPID24) After First Dose	SPID was calculated as the sum of the product of time (in hours) elapsed since previous measurements and pain intensity difference. Pain intensity difference was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points from the baseline pain intensity scores (using pain rating score range: 0= no pain to 10= worst possible pain). SPID24 was calculated from 0 to 24 hours and the score range was -240 (worst score) to 240 (best score).	0 to 24 Hours After First Dose
Secondary	Time-weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference as Recorded on NPRS 0 to 48 Hours (SPID48) After First Dose	SPID was calculated as the sum of the product of time (in hours) elapsed since previous measurements and pain intensity difference. Pain intensity difference was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points from the baseline pain intensity scores (using pain rating score range: 0= no pain to 10= worst possible pain). SPID48 was calculated from 0 to 48 hours and the score range was -480 (worst score) to 480 (best score).	0 to 48 Hours After First Dose
Secondary	Proportion of Participants With at Least 30 Percent (%) Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After First Dose of VX-150 Versus Placebo	Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 30% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.	From Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose
Secondary	Proportion of Participants With at Least 50% Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After the First Dose of VX-150 Versus Placebo	Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 50% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.	From Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose
Secondary	Proportion of Participants With at Least 70% Reduction in NPRS at 24 Hours After the First Dose of VX-150 Versus Placebo	Pain intensity was recorded on 11-point ordinal NPRS, score range: 0 to 10, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain. The percentage of participants with at least 70% reduction from baseline in NPRS at 24 hours after the first dose of VX-150 or placebo were reported.	From Baseline at 24 Hours After First Dose
Secondary	Time to Onset of Confirmed Perceptible Pain Relief After First Dose of VX-150 Versus Placebo	Time to onset of confirmed perceptible pain relief (time to onset of perceptible pain relief [any pain relief at all after the first dose] for participants who had meaningful pain relief [relief that is meaningful to participants after the first dose] reported based on the stopwatch assessment.	Up to 6 hours After the First Dose
Secondary	Time to Onset of Meaningful Pain Relief After the First Dose of VX-150 Versus Placebo	Time to onset of meaningful pain relief (relief that is meaningful to participants after the first dose) reported based on the stopwatch assessment.	Up to 6 Hours After the First Dose
Secondary	Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of VRT- 1207355 (Active Moiety) and VRT- 1268114 (Metabolite M5)		Day 1 and Day 2
Secondary	Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 to 12 Hours (AUC0-12h) of VRT- 1207355 and VRT- 1268114		Day 1 and Day 2
Secondary	Safety and Tolerability as Assessed by Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)		Day 1 up to Day 10
