Study Summary

This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of up to 3 dosing regimens of Buprenorphine Sublingual (under the tongue) Spray and/or matching placebo in participants with moderate to severe postoperative pain after bunionectomy. The study will comprise 4 periods: the Screening Period, the Surgical Period, the Treatment Period, and the Follow-up Period. Participants will be admitted to the study site on the morning of the scheduled surgery, will remain at the study site until postoperative Day 3 (a total of 3 nights at the study site), and will return for the Follow-up Visit 5 to 9 days after surgery.

Primary Outcome

Pain intensity was assessed by the participant using an 11-point NRS from 0=no pain to 10=worst possible pain. Pain intensity scores were collected at Baseline (prior to study drug) and at multiple time points up to 48 hours after Time 0 (administration of first dose of study drug). Pain intensity difference is calculated by subtracting the pain intensity at each time point from the pain intensity at Time 0. The SPID scores are the sum of the differences at each time point multiplied by the dura
