Voltaren Emulgel 2% Acute Ankle Sprain Non Inferiority Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diclofenac diethylamine 2.32 percent (%) gel applied twice daily versus diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% gel applied four times daily for 7 days in participants with acute ankle sprain.

This study is a Phase III, randomized, double blind, multi-center, active controlled, 2-treatment arm, parallel group, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diclofenac diethylamine 2.32% gel applied twice daily versus diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% gel applied four times daily for 7 days in participants with acute ankle sprain. The participants who experience an acute Grade I -II ankle sprain within the past 24 hours, and pain on movement of at least 50 millimeter (mm) on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) and who will meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio, immediately post injury. All participants will receive 4 tubes of study drug, for treatment in morning, noon, late afternoon, and late evening, respectively. The very first dose of study drug will be applied at the study center. The participants will be instructed to apply the gel topically with the finger tips for approximately 1 minute in the morning, at noon, late afternoon, and late evening for 7 days. Each tube will be labeled for use at one of these 4 times. After the randomization visit (Visit 1/baseline visit- Day 1), participants will return to the study site for post baseline visits- Visit 2 (Day 3), Visit 3 (Day 5), and Visit 4 (Day 8 +/- 1 d) to complete efficacy and safety assessments. Baseline safety laboratory test blood samples will be taken at Visit 1. End of study safety laboratory tests will be performed at Visit 4, or in case of early termination on the day of termination. In addition, the participants (ex-clinic) will assess pain intensity and pain relief at frequent intervals on Day 1 and then at each study drug application throughout the rest of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* A participant with Grade I-III sprain of the affected ankle during the past 3 months.

* A participant with pain or instability in the affected ankle attributable to previous ankle sprain or any other trauma.
* A participant with ankle sprain attributable to a known disease affecting the ligaments, such as ligament hyperlaxity due to connective tissue diseases (e.g. Marfan's syndrome, Down's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome).
* A participant who has any skin lesion or wound in the area to be treated.
* A participant who intent to undergo surgery during time of participation.
* A participant who is an employee of the investigational site, either directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family; or an employee of the investigational site otherwise supervised by the investigator; or, a GSK CH employee directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family.
* A participant with,in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, an acute or chronic medical, including other current acute or chronic pain conditions, or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator or medically qualified designee, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
* A participant who is a pregnant female.
* A participant who is a breastfeeding female.

* A participant with evidence of clinically significant laboratory abnormality caused by renal disease (Serum creatinine \>=1.5 times the upper limit of normal \[ULN\]), hepatic disease (ALT or AST \>= 2 times the ULN), or subject with allergic disease at screening that may increase the risk associated with study participation.
