5. Mentally competent, able to understand and give written informed
consent prior to study entry.
6. Compliant to undergo all visits and procedures scheduled in the study, including recording of pain assessments on the electronic diary (e-Diary) as required by protocol. After surgery, patients will be eligible to progress with randomisation
ONLY if the following criterion is also met:
7. Pain of at least moderate intensity in the first 4 hours after the end of surgery (NRS score >= 4).

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

1. Patients who are judged by the Investigator not to be suitable candidates for the study treatments and the RM based on their medical history, physical examination, concomitant medication (CM) and concurrent systemic diseases.
2. Clinically significant abnormalities in the vital signs (VS) and / or safety laboratory tests, as per investigator’s judgement.
3. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to the study treatments, RM or to any other NSAIDs, opioids and acetyl salicylic acid.
4. History of peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal disorders by NSAIDs or gastrointestinal bleeding or other active bleedings.

11. Patients using and not suitable for withdrawing alcohol, sedatives (e.g. benzodiazepines) and hypnotic agents within 12 hours before surgery and for 8 hours post-dose.
12. Chronic opioid treatment (major opioids and tramadol).
13. Patients using and not suitable for withdrawing the following prohibited medications, within 48 hours or 5 half-lives (whichever the longer) prior to the start of surgery and for 24 hours post-dose:
- Anticoagulants, thrombolytic and antiplatelet agents
- Corticosteroids (with the exception of inhalers or topical agents);
- Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (a minimum of 14 days must elapse prior to the start of surgery);
- Antiepileptics;
- Antipsychotics;
- Serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants;
- Lithium;
- Methotrexate;
- Antibacterial sulfonamides.
14. Participation in other clinical studies in the previous 4 weeks.

16. History of any illness or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator might pose a risk to the patient or confound the efficacy and safety results of the study.
17. Pregnant and breastfeeding women. NOTE: a pregnancy test will be performed to all women of childbearing potential at Screening and another one on the day of surgery prior to randomisation.
After surgery, patients will not be eligible to progress with randomisation if the following criterion is also met:
18. Surgical complication that, in the opinion of the Investigator, advises against their inclusion in the study.

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

4=complete relief) over 6 hours post-dose (TOTPAR6)

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

over 6 hours post-dose

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

Efficay Endpoints:
- Mean PAR scores over the 8-hour post-dose period.
- TOTPAR over 4 and 8 hours post-dose (TOTPAR4, TOTPAR8).
- Percentage of maximum TOTPAR (% max TOTPAR) over 4, 6 and 8-hours post-dose.
- Percentage of patients achieving at least 50% of maximum TOTPAR over 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose.
- Mean Pain Intensity (PI) scores (values obtained from the 11-point NRS) at each pre-specified time point over the 8-hour post-dose period.
- Percentage of patients who achieved at least 30% of PI reduction versus baseline at each pre-specified time point over the 8-hour postdose period.
- Sum of Pain Intensity Differences (SPID), calculated as the weighted sum of the pain intensity difference (PID) over 4, 6 and 8 hours postdose (SPID4, SPID6, SPID8).
- Percentage of maximum SPID (% max SPID) over 4, 6 and 8 hours post-dose.
- Time to FPPAR (time to onset of analgesia).
- Time to confirmed FPPAR (time to onset of analgesia) - i.e. time to FPPAR if confirmed by experiencing MPAR
- Percentage of patients who achieved confirmed FPPAR within 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours.
- Time to MPAR.
- Percentage of patients who achieved MPAR within 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours.
- PGE of the study medication (measured according to a five-point VRS from 1 = poor to 5 = excellent), at 8 hours post-dose or whenever the patient uses RM.
- Time to RM: Time elapsed between treatment administration and first intake of RM.
- Percentage of patients who required RM within the first 4, 6 or 8 hours post-dose.

Safety endpoints:
a) Incidence, intensity (severity), seriousness and treatment-causality of treatment-emergent AEs
b)Frequency of clinically significant changes in physical examination, and VS, post-dose versus baseline.
