NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2006--Javelin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: JVPH) announced today that Dyloject(TM) (diclofenac sodium injection) met the primary endpoint of a linear dose-response for pain relief over 6 hours as measured on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In this phase IIb study, patients with moderate to severe pain after oral surgery given a single dose of either Dyloject(TM) or Ketorolac tromethamine experienced statistically significant pain relief over 6 hours compared to patients who received placebo. Five minutes after intravenous injection, Dyloject(TM) demonstrated superior onset of pain relief to Ketorolac as measured by statistically significant reductions in pain intensity and pain relief using both the VAS and Categorical scales.
