Primary Outcome Measures

Sum of Pain Intensity Difference From 0 to 24 Hours (SPID24) Based on the 11 Point Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Pain Intensity was self-reported over 24 hours, using a pain rating of 0-10 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with score between 0-10 (0= no pain; 10 = worst imaginable pain). Time weighted sum of pain intensity difference from 0 to 24 hours was reported. Pain Intensity (PI-NPRS) was collected at initiation of Dose 1 (T0) and post dose 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.75, 2.25 3.25, 4.25, 5.25, 6.25, 7.25, 8.25, 9.25, 10.25, 11.25, 12.25 (± 5 min) and 14.25, 16.25, 18.25, 20.25, 22.25, and 24.25 (± 10 min). SPID24 was include all nominal timepoints from T0 to T24.25 hours. SPID is calculated as Σ[T(i) -T(i-1)] x [(PID(i-1) + PID(i))/2], where T(0)=0, T(i) is the scheduled time, and PID(i) is the pain intensity difference (PID) score at time i. Pain intensity differences were calculated with respect to Baseline. A baseline assessment is defined as the last non-missing result prior to administration of the first dose of study medication.
Sum of Pain Relief From 0 to 24 Hours (TOTPAR24) Based on a 5-point Likert Scale.
Pain Relief Rating (PR) was scored on a 5-point scale (0=no-, 1=a little-, 2=some-, 3=a lot of-, and 4=complete- PR). PR was collected at initiation of Dose 1 (T0) and post dose 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.75, 2.25 3.25, 4.25, 5.25, 6.25, 7.25, 8.25, 9.25, 10.25, 11.25, 12.25 (± 5 min) and 14.25, 16.25, 18.25, 20.25, 22.25, and 24.25 (± 10 min) hours. TOTPAR24 is calculated as Sum ([T(i) - T(i-1)] x (PR(i-1) + PR(i)) / 2), where T(0)=0, T(i) is the actual time, and PR(i) is the pain relief score at time i. and calculated as Σ[T(i) -T(i-1)] x [(PR(i-1) + PR(i))/2], where T(0)=0, T(i) is the scheduled time, and PR(i) is the pain relief (PR) score at time i.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time to Perceptible Pain Relief Confirmed (FPR-C) After Dose 1 Administration Stratified by Baseline Pain Score of Moderate or Severe for the 3 Treatment Groups
Upon initiation of the infusion of Dose 1, the participants were given stopwatch #1 and asked to press the stopwatch when they first perceived any pain relief (first perceptible pain relief [FPR]) ; a record of the time was noted in the participant record. If a participant does not record perceptible pain relief and prematurely discontinued from the study prior to 24 hours, then the participant was censored at time of drop out. If a participant does not record perceptible pain relief prior to taking rescue medication, the participant was censored at 24 hours
Time to Meaningful Perceptible Relief (MPR) Measure Stratified by Baseline Pain Score of Moderate or Severe for the 3 Treatment Groups
Upon initiation of the infusion of Dose 1, the participants were given a second stopwatch and asked to press the stopwatch if and when they feel any meaningful perceptible relief; a record of the time was noted in the participant record. If a participant does not record perceptible pain relief and was prematurely discontinued from the study prior to 24 hours, then the participant was censored at time of drop out. If a participant does not record perceptible pain relief prior to taking rescue medication, the participant was censored at 24 hours.
Patient Global Evaluation of the Study Medication
Patients Global Evaluation was assessed on a scale of 0 (Poor), 1 (Fair), 2 (Good), 3 (Very Good) and 4 (Excellent) at 24.25 hours post-dose 1 or at participant withdrawal (if applicable), whichever occurred first. Least squares mean of the score are reported.
Pain Intensity Difference Rating (PID) at Different Timepoints After Dose 1 Administration
Pain Intensity was self-reported over 24 hours, using a pain rating of 0-10 on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with score between 0-10 (0= no pain; 10 = worst imaginable pain). Pain intensity differences were calculated with respect to Baseline at each time point after Dose 1 administration. A baseline assessment was defined as the last non-missing result prior to administration of the first dose of study medication
Pain Intensity Rating at Different Timepoints After Dose 1 Administration
Pain intensity is reported using the 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with score between 0-10 (0= no pain; 10 = worst imaginable pain).
Pain Relief (PR) Ratings at Each Observation Time After Dose 1 Administration
Pain Relief is reported on a 5-Point Categorical Pain Relief Assessment scale: 0 = No Pain Relief, 1 = A Little Pain Relief, 2 = Some Pain Relief, 3 = A Lot of Pain Relief, 4 = Complete Pain Relief.
Time to Treatment Failure
Time to treatment failure is defined as time to first dose of rescue medication after Dose 1 or withdrawal from the study for any reason. If a participant does not take rescue medication or withdraw from the study prior to 24 hours, the participant was censored at 24 hours
