The pediatric study met its primary endpoint demonstrating that Caldolor was associated with a statistically significant reduction in temperature within the first 2 hours of dosing when compared to acetaminophen. Equally important, no safety concerns were observed during the study.  During the study, febrile hospitalized children ranging in age from less than 1 year to 16 years, were administered Caldolor^® (ibuprofen) injection or oral or rectal acetaminophen as a single or multiple dose therapy for up to five days.

The presentation entitled “A Multi-Center. Open-Label, Parallel, Active-Comparator, Multiple Dose Trial to Determine the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Ibuprofen in Pediatric Patients” will be on Saturday, March 8, at 11:00 a.m. EST. It will be presented by Dr. Samia N. Khalil, M.D, Department of Anesthesiology, the University of Texas Medical School at Houston.

The meeting is co-sponsored by the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia and the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine.  For more Information, please visit www.pedsanesthesia.org. or www.aap.org.
