Bipolar Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for "Drug Liking" Maximum Effect (Emax). Primary · up to 48 hours after treatments

Drug liking assesses how much a participant likes or dislikes a drug effect at the time the question ("at this moment, my liking this drug is") is being asked. It is scored using a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS), where 0 mm = "Strong Disliking", 50 mm = "Neither Like nor Dislike", and 100 mm = "Strong Liking"

The data from the 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose measurements were combined into a single overall model-adjusted value for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment timeframe by estimation from a mixed model with treatment, period, treatment sequence, time, and treatment\*time as fixed effects, subject nested within sequence as a random effect. The compound symmetric covariance matrix was employed. Data from all time points were

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: During the entire Treatment Phase of the study, which encompassed the time interval from admission of the subject to their first Treatment Period until 28 days after study drug dosing in their last (6th) Treatment Period, including the washout in between Treatment Periods. The total duration of the Treatment Phase for each subject was dependent on visit scheduling and whether the subject completed all 6 treatment periods, and it lasted up to approximately 13 weeks.. Reporting threshold: 0%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
