"There is a significant need among healthcare providers and patients for safe and effective therapies for pain management," said lead clinical investigator Evan F. Ekman, M.D. and President of Southern Orthopaedic Sports Medicine and Medical Director of Palmetto Health Parkridge Surgery Center. "The results from this Phase 3 clinical trial are very encouraging. They confirm to me that Ketotransdel® has a valuable role as a potentially safer and effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment compared to available oral pain drugs, including oral NSAIDs, which are associated with gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and other medical problems."
