Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4 hours post-dose.

    Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-4 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief).

    Time frame: 4 hours post-dose.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-8 hours post-dose.

    Pain relief will be evaluated considering the Sum of Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) over 0-8 hours post-dose. Pain relief will be evaluate using a Categorical Pain Relief Rating Scale (0 = No relief, 1 = a little relief, 2 = some relief, 3 = a lot of relief, 4 = complete relief).

    Time frame: 8 hours post-dose.

  2. Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4 hours post-dose.

    Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 4 hours post-dose. The pain intensity will be assessed using a Categorical 4-point scale (0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain).

    Time frame: 4 hours post-dose.

  3. Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 8 hours post-dose.

    Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) over 8 hours post-dose. The pain intensity will be assessed using a Categorical 4-point scale (0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain).

    Time frame: 8 hours post-dose.

  4. Time to first intake of rescue medication.

    Time between the first dose intake and the administration of a rescue medication.

    Time frame: Up to 8 hours post-dose.

  5. Patients who used rescue medication.

    Number of participants who used rescue medication after the first drug intake.

    Time frame: Up to 8 hours post-dose.

  6. Doses of rescue medication used.

    Number of rescue medication doses used in the first day of treatment.

    Time frame: Up to 8 hours post-dose.

  7. Number of additional drug intake.

    Number of additional drug intake during the study period.

    Time frame: 3 days.

  8. Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC).

    Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) will be assessed after 8 hours post-dose or immediately before the intake of rescue medication.

    Time frame: 8 hours.

  9. Evaluate the safety of CDE100 association in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.

    The safety will be evaluated considering the incidence of adverse events (AEs) reported during the study period.

    Time frame: Up to 175 days.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2026, 12 months after the start.

Of 17 phase 3 interventional studies under Dysmenorrhea, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 30. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 8, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
