Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Is male or female aged between 2 and <17 years.
  • Have a clinical indication of acute pain requiring hospitalization and multiple doses of parenterally administered nonopioid analgesic medication for at least 0.5 - 5 days.
  • Is either able to provide written informed consent or consent is provided from parents/legal guardians and assent provided from participants (where appropriate).
  • Is willing and able to remain at the study site for at least 12 hours and to attend a follow-up visit at 7 ± 2 days after the last dose of study drug.
  • Have negative HIV and hepatitis B & C test results.

You likely can't join if

  • Has a known history of allergic reaction or clinically significant intolerance to acetaminophen, aspirin, opioids, or any nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including ibuprofen); history of NSAID-induced bronchospasm (subjects with the triad of asthma, nasal polyps, and chronic rhinitis are at greater risk for bronchospasm and should be considered carefully); or hypersensitivity, allergy, or significant reaction to sulfa (including sulfonamide) medicines, ingredients of the study drug, or any other drugs used in the study including anesthetics and antibiotics that may be required.
  • Has received a course of systemic corticosteroids (either oral or parenteral) within 3 months before screening (inhaled nasal steroids and regional/limited area application of topical corticosteroids (Investigator discretion) are allowed).
  • Has a history of chronic use (defined as daily use for > 2 weeks) of NSAIDs, opiates, or glucocorticoids (except inhaled nasal steroids and regional/limited topical corticosteroids), for any condition within 6 months before study drug administration. Aspirin at a daily dose of ≤ 325 mg is allowed for cardiovascular prophylaxis if the subject has been on a stable dose regimen for ≥ 30 days before screening and has not experienced any relevant medical problem.
  • Has a significant renal or hepatic disease, as indicated by clinical laboratory assessment (results ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal [ULN] for any liver function test, including aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], or creatinine ≥ 1.5 times the ULN).
  • Has any clinically significant laboratory finding at screening that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates study participation.
  • Participated in another clinical study within 30 days before Screening.
