About

This phase IIa (proof of concept) study will be conducted as a multi-centre study within the European Union (EU). It will be conducted to a randomised, single blind, placebo- controlled, parallel group design with a positive control arm to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of pre-emptive doses of GW842166 following dental surgery (3rd molar tooth extraction). GW842166 will be administered as a single pre-operative oral dose in male and female subjects who will be randomised to take part in one of four possible treatment regimens. Pain assessments will be undertaken over a 10 hr period. Pharmacokinetic blood samples will be collected over a 48 hr period. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by adverse event monitoring, cardiovascular assessments (ECG and vital signs) and clinical laboratory tests (haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis).
