Clinical Trials

Several clinical trials evaluate flurbiprofen across applications such as postoperative analgesia in thoracic or cesarean procedures, postoperative sleep quality following breast tumor surgery, and drug interaction evaluations in healthy volunteers. Spanning Phase 1, Phase 4, and non-assigned designations, these studies encompass completed, actively recruiting, and not-yet-recruiting protocols. Research is supported by sponsors including Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, First People's Hospital of Chenzhou, NorthSea Therapeutics B.V., and Zhongnan Hospital.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Flurbiprofen non-selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid into pro-inflammatory prostaglandin precursors. This enzymatic inhibition suppresses localized inflammatory signaling and peripheral nociceptive sensitization, providing the physiological basis for its clinical utility in alleviating postoperative pain and managing surgical inflammation.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
