a double-blind, randomized, active- and placebo-controlled, multiple-dose multi-center phase 3 study of the safety and efficacy of cl-108 in the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain and opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (oinv)

Conditions: Pain; Nausea; Vomiting

Summary: the objectives of this study are to compare the occurrence and severity of opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (oinv) associated with cl-108 to norco®, and to demonstrate the efficacy of cl-108 when compared to placebo for the relief of moderate to severe pain in patients with moderate to severe pain following bunionectomy (osteotomy with fixation of the head of the first metatarsal bone).
