Recro Pharma published an online article titled: “Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Meloxicam in Subjects with Moderate-to-Severe Pain Following Bunionectomy”, in the Clinical Journal of Pain.

About IV/IM Meloxicam

Meloxicam is a long-acting, preferential COX-2 inhibitor. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activities, related to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and a subsequent reduction in prostaglandin biosynthesis. The drug leverages the novel NanoCrystal® platform technology, which enables enhanced bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drug compounds. NanoCrystal® is a registered trademark of Alkermes Pharma Ireland Ltd (“APIL”).

Phase-III Trial – Design and Results

Design

The Phase-III Trial was a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial (n=201), which was specifically designed to assess the efficacy and safety of IV meloxicam 30mg for the management of moderate-to-severe pain after the bunionectomy surgery.

Results

The primary efficacy endpoint for the Phase-III Trial was Summed Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 48 hours (SPID48). IV meloxicam 30mg demonstrated a statistically significant difference reduction in SPID48 (p=0.0034), as well as statistically significant reductions in SPID values at other times and intervals (SPID6, SPID12, SPID24, SPID24-48), among other key secondary endpoints.
Besides, an opioid-sparing effect was also noted in IV meloxicam 30mg, indicated by a longer time to first use of rescue (p=0.0076), a lower number of subjects using rescue (p<0.001), and the lower mean number of per-subject rescue doses (p<0.05).
The Trial also proved that IV meloxicam 30mg was well tolerated. No associated serious adverse events (SAEs) or withdrawals due to adverse events (AEs) were noted in this trial. Moreover, the treatment-emergent adverse events observed in the IV meloxicam 30mg group were mild or moderate in intensity, with the incidence and intensity similar to the placebo group.

IV Meloxicam Has Potential to Fill Significant Medical Need

Currently, there is an urgent, unmet medical need for patients and physicians for the management of moderate-to-severe post-bunionectomy surgery pain. The data from the Phase-III trial proves that IV meloxicam has the potential to provide rapid and sustained pain relief from bunionectomy surgery. The Trial validates that IV meloxicam has a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with a notable opioid-sparing effect. The New Drug Application (NDA) for IV meloxicam is already under review with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has a target Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of May 26, 2018.

Stewart McCallum, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Recro Pharma, shared that if IV meloxicam gets approved, it would be the first 24-hour duration, non-opioid, IV analgesic for managing moderate-to-severe pain.
