Eligibility Criteria

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female patient aged from 18 years up to 65 years,

  • Patient who has signed a written informed consent prior to any study-related procedures.

Additional inclusion criteria after surgery (randomization):

  1. Patient experiencing moderate to severe pain within 4 hours after the dental extraction, defined by a baseline pain intensity Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) score ≥ 50 mm,
  2. Third molar extraction(s) completed without any immediate complication, that in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study conduct and/or assessments (e.g., suspected neurosensory complication, incomplete removal of tooth)

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient treated by analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within 3 days preceding the day of randomization or within 5 times the elimination half-life whichever the longest,
  • Woman with positive results on a urine pregnancy test or breastfeeding woman or woman of childbearing potential without an effective contraception,
  • Patient with a history of convulsive disorders,
  • Patient taking mono-amine-oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (including but not limited to selegiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, phenelzine…),
  • Patient with an abnormal cardiac condition: medically significant disorders of cardiac rate and/or rhythm,
  • Patient with known anaemia,

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Ranked endpoints : 1. Sum of Pain Intensity Differences at 6 hours (SPID0-6h)
Pain intensity difference will be calculated using the score of pain intensity assessed by the patient at defined time points (T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T240, T300, T360 min,) after the first IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 100-mm Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) compared to baseline.
Total Pain Relief at 6 hours (TOTPAR0-6h)
Pain Relief will be assessed by the patient at defined time points (T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T240, T300, T360 min) after the first IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS).
Proportion of responder patients
A responder patient is a subject who achieves a reduction of 50% of pain intensity compared to baseline.
The Patient's Global Impression of Change (PGIC) questionnaire
The onset of pain relief
Score of pain intensity will be assessed by the patient at defined time points (T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T240, T300, T360 min). The time point of the first assessment obtaining a score ≤ 30 mm will be retained as time score of onset of pain relief.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total Pain Relief at 1 hour (TOTPAR0-1h), 2 hours (TOTPAR0-2h), 3 hours (TOTPAR0-3h), and 4 hours (TOTPAR0-4h)
Pain relief (PAR) will be assessed by the patient at defined time points (T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T240 min) after the first IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 5-point verbal rating scale
Sum of Pain Intensity Differences at 1 hour (SPID0-1h), 2 hours (SPID0-2h), 3 hours (SPID0-3h), and 4 hours (SPID0-4h)
PID will be calculated using the score of pain intensity assessed by the patient at defined time points (T30, T45, T60, T90, T120, T150, T180, T240 min) after the first IMP intake and/or right before first intake of rescue medication using a 100-mm VAS compared to baseline.

PID will be calculated using the scores of pain intensity (VAS) at each time point compared to baseline.
Proportion of responder patients.
Time to the second IMP intake
Time to rescue medication intake
