Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety & Efficacy of Canakinumab (ACZ885) in Patients With Frequent Flares for Whom Nonsterodial Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAIDs) and/ or Colchicine Are Contraindicated, Not Tolerated or Ineffective (NCT NCT01362608)

NCT ID: NCT01362608

Last Updated: 2017-06-08

Results Overview

A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. Based on the distribution of pain VAS scores in postsurgical patients (knee replacement, hysterectomy, or laparoscopic myomectomy) who described their postoperative pain intensity as none, mild, moderate, or severe, the following cut points on the pain VAS have been recommended: no pain (0 - 4 mm), mild pain (5- 44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75- 100 mm)

CI cannot calculated for this parameter as it is "too narrow to exist". The CI limits are time points where events happened or censored. When we decrease the confidence level from 99% to 95%, no observed time point meets the criterion.
