Clinical Trials

Several clinical trials have evaluated tenoxicam for pain management indications, focusing primarily on acute postoperative pain and obstetrical analgesia. Sponsored by academic and medical institutions including TC Erciyes University and Ain Shams Maternity Hospital, these studies encompass Phase 2 trials as well as those with a Not Applicable phase designation. Recruitment statuses across these initiatives include completed studies in post-surgical pain and trials with an unknown status addressing labor pain.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, tenoxicam acts as a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals with an IC50 of 56.7 μM, neutralizing reactive oxygen species to prevent oxidative damage and suppress downstream pro-inflammatory signaling. This inhibition of oxidative stress and local inflammatory cascades mitigates nociceptive signaling, providing clinical utility in the management of acute postoperative pain and obstetrical analgesia.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
