Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PID24 (Time Weighted Sum of Pain Intensity Difference Over 24 Hours Post-Dose)

    The primary efficacy variable was the Pain Intensity (PI) measured by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS); a scale from zero to 10 on which subjects circled a single number to indicate current pain level, with zero representing "No Pain" and 10 representing "Worst Possible Pain".

    24 hours after first dose

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • TOTPAR (time-weighted sum of pain relief scores): TOTPAR12, TOTPAR18, TOTPAR24, TOTPAR48.

    0-48 hours after the first dose

  • SPID2、SPID6、SPID12、SPID18、SPID18-24、SPID24-48、SPID42-48、SPID48

    0-48 hours after the first dose

  • Time to the first dose of the remedial analgesia

    0-48 hours after the first dose

  • Number of times of remedial analgesia administered 0-24h and 24-48h after the first dose

    0-48 hours after the first dose

  • Proportion of subjects requiring remedial analgesia

    0-48 hours after the first dose

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • years ≤ age ≤ 65 years, regardless of gender.
  • Elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
  • ASA score of grade 1-3.
  • kg/m\^2 \< BMI \< 30 kg/m\^2.
  • NRS score of ≥ 4 within 3 hours after the end of surgery (last suture).
  • Able to understand the study process and the use of pain scales, and able to communicate effectively with study personnel.
  • Written informed consent signed by subject or legal representative.

You may not qualify if:

  • Abnormal liver function: ALT and/or AST \> 2 × ULN, or TBIL ≥ 2 × ULN.
  • Renal impairment (blood creatinine \> 1.5 × ULN), or dialysis treatment within 28 days prior to the surgery.
  • Subjects at high risk of bleeding, including subjects with congenital bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia), thrombocytopenic subjects (platelet count less than 50 × 10\^9/L), subjects with abnormal platelet function (e.g., idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, disseminated intravascular coagulation, congenital abnormal platelet function), or subjects with any clinically significant active bleeding.
  • Abnormal coagulation (PT\>ULN+3s and/or APTT\>ULN+10s).
  • Subjects with a history of severe gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcers, bleeding and perforation, etc.) within 1 year prior to randomization that may be worsened by the administration of NSAIDs-like drugs.
  • Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting within 1 year prior to randomization.
  • Abnormal clinically significant 12-lead ECG during the screening period and judged by the investigator to be inappropriate for participation in this trial.
  • Combination of severe liver, kidney, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, or metabolic system disease, which is judged by the investigator to be inappropriate for participation in this trial.
  • Subjects with combined neurological or psychiatric disorders such as migraine and seizures, which have been judged by the investigator to affect the evaluation of the efficacy of the trial drug.
  • Subjects with hypertension whose blood pressure is not satisfactorily controlled by antihypertensive medication (screening period sitting systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg, and/or screening period diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg).
  • Sitting systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mmHg at screening.
  • Subjects with diabetes mellitus whose blood glucose is not satisfactorily controlled (random blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L during the screening period).
  • Subjects with advanced malignancy or malignancy with extensive metastases.
  • Combined with other physical pain conditions that may confound postoperative pain evaluation.
  • Subjects with known hypersensitivity to meloxicam, any of the excipients in the study drug, aspirin, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), any perioperative drug use, or other history of anaphylactic reactions.
  • +6 more criteria
