Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to establish a dose-response relationship among several capsule strengths of Hydrocodone Bitartrate Extended Release (HC-ER) and to compare the efficacy to placebo following bunionectomy surgery

Description:

Sum of Pain Intensity Differences (SPID) for the Primary pain measurement: VASPI (Visual Analog Scale of Pain Intensity) from time 0 to 12 hrs; Safety evaluations assessed: laboratory evaluations, physical examinations, vital signs/pulse oximetry and electrocardiography
