Any scheduled invasive treatment or medical/surgical procedure during the study period, except surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar 13. Abnormal nasal cavity/airway such as: a. evidence of previous significant nasal disorder including surgery, or dependence of inhaled drug b. current significant nasal congestion due to common cold c. minimum air flow during the nasal passages (evaluated at the investigator’s discretion) 14. History or presence of hypersensitivity or allergy to sufentanil, ketamine, NSAIDs or local anaesthetics, a history of anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions, or a history of other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicates the participation. 15. Positive COVID-19 test or clinical symptoms of COVID-19 (testing of potential participants will follow the health authorities’ guidelines and current local guidelines) 16. Is currently participating in or has participated in an interventional clinical trial with an investigational compound or device within 30 days of signing the informed consent for this trial 17. Previous randomisation to treatment in the present study 18. Blood or plasma donation within 4 weeks prior to the dosing procedure visit (Visit 3 [Day 0]). 19.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy: • The sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) at 55 min (corresponding to the first dose) derived from pain intensity scores measured by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10, 0= no pain, 10= worst possible pain).
Concentration-effect relationship: • Estimates of population pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters required to adequately describe the time profiles of ketamine, the time profiles of sufentanil, and an estimate of the potential change in PK of ketamine in the presence of sufentanil, and an estimate of the potential change in PK of sufentanil in the presence of ketamine. Population PK modelling is data driven and therefore the exact PK parameters cannot be pre-specified, but will describe the absorption, distribution, elimination, and potential interaction of the two compounds. Estimates of population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) parameters required to adequately describe the relationship between the PK time profiles and the effect on pain intensity. Population PKPD modelling is data driven and therefore the exact PK-PD parameters cannot be pre-specified but will describe the impact of changes in concentrations on the pain intensity time profiles. |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) at 55 min (corresponding to the first dose) derived from pain intensity scores measured on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) (0-10, 0= no pain, 10= worst pain imaginable)
PK-analyses are collected at baseline, and time points 5 (+ 2), 10 (+ 3), 15 (+ 3), 30 (+ 3), 55 (+ 4), 65 (+ 3), 80 (+ 3), 95 (+ 3), 110 (+ 3), 140 (+ 4), 180 (+ 4) min post-first-dose of IMP. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key secondary variables: • Maximum Pain intensity difference (PIDmax) • “Time to meaningful relief” defined as the time when participants feel that the “pain relief becomes meaningful to them”. If meaningful relief is not achieved the participants’ onset time is censored with the maximum time of the study i.e. 180 min. • The sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) at 30 min derived from pain intensity scores at rest measured by the NRS (0-10) • Numbers of participants receiving rescue medication until 180 min post dose • Responder/non-responder at 30 minutes after first dose: Two different responder criteria will be used: - at least 30% reduction in pain intensity score (or mild pain (NRS 1-3)) compared to baseline - at least 50% reduction in pain intensity scores (or mild pain (NRS 1-3)) • The sum of pain intensity differences (SPID) at 90 min (corresponding to the first and second dose) derived from pain intensity scores measured on NRS 0-10
Other secondary variables: • “Time to first perceptible pain relief” defined as the time of the administration of the first dose to the time when participants “first feel any pain relief”. If first perceptible relief is not achieved; the participants’ onset time will be censored with the maximum time of the study i.e. 180 min. • Time to rescue medication • Mean pain intensity difference (PID) from baseline at rest at measurement time points (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 55, 65, 70, 75, 90, 105, 120, 140, 160, and 180 min post dose) • Mean pain intensity difference (PID) from baseline on jaw movement at measurement time points (16, 31, 56, 91, 121, 161, 181 min post dose) • Ramsay sedation score (1= agitated, anxious, restless, 6= unarousable) (time points baseline, 4, 9, 14, 19, 29, 39, 54, 64, 69, 74, 89, 104, 119, 139, 159, and 179 min post dose) - Median time to a request for rescue medication |
