Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Voluntarily provide written informed consent.
* Male or female between 18 and 75 years of age, inclusive.
* Be scheduled to undergo a primary unilateral first metatarsal bunionectomy repair
* Be American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical class 1 or 2.
* Female subject are eligible only if all the following apply:

* Not pregnant;
* Not lactating;
* Not planning to become pregnant during the study;
* Commit to the use of an acceptable form of birth control for the duration of the study through Day 30.
* Have a body mass index ≤35 kg/m2
* Be able to understand the study procedures, comply with all study procedures, and agree to participate in the study program.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have a known allergy to meloxicam or any excipient of N1539, D5W, aspirin, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or to any peri- or postoperative medications used in this study.
* Have a clinically significant abnormal clinical laboratory test value.
* Have history of or positive test results for HIV, or hepatitis B or C.
* Have a history or clinical manifestations of significant renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric, or other condition that would preclude participation in the study.
* Have a history of migraine or frequent headaches, seizures, or are currently taking anticonvulsants.
* Have another painful physical condition that may confound the assessments of post operative pain.
* Have a history of syncope or other syncopal attacks.
* Have evidence of a clinically significant 12 lead ECG abnormality.
* Have a history of alcohol abuse (regularly drinks \> 4 units of alcohol per day; 8 oz. beer, 3 oz. wine, 1 oz. spirits) or prescription/illicit drug abuse..
* Have positive results on the urine drug screen or alcohol breath test indicative of illicit drug or alcohol abuse.
* Have been receiving or have received chronic opioid therapy defined as greater than 15 morphine equivalents units per day for greater than 3 out of 7 days per week over a one-month period within 12 months.
* Use concurrent therapy that could interfere with the evaluation of efficacy or safety, such as any drugs which in the investigator's opinion may exert significant analgesic properties or act synergistically with N1539.
* Unable to discontinue medications, that have not been at a stable dose for at least 14 days prior to the scheduled bunionectomy procedure, within 5 half lives of the specific prior medication (or, if half life is not known, within 48 hours) before dosing.
* Have utilized corticosteroids, either systemically, inhalational either intranasally or oral, or by intra-articular injection, within 14 days prior to the study.
* Have received any investigational product within 30 days before dosing with study medication.
* Be receiving warfarin, lithium, or a combination of furosemide with either an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker
* Be currently receiving treatment with oral meloxicam (Mobic®)
* Have previously received N1539 in clinical trials, or had bunionectomy in the last 3 months.

Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
Number of subjects reporting treatment emergent adverse events
Outcome Measure
Number of Subjects With Adverse Events
Outcome Time Frame
Through Day 30 Follow-up
Secondary Outcomes
Outcome Description
Effect size was estimated based on SPID48 derived using 2-hour windowed last observation carried forward (W2LOCF) method and an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model that included treatment and baseline PI score.
Outcome Time Frame
48 Hours
Outcome Measure
Effect Size of N1539 Doses Using the Summed Pain Intensity Difference Over the First 48 Hours (SPID48)
Outcome Description
Pain intensity was recorded using a Numeric Pain Rating Scale (Range 0-10) where 0 equates to no pain (better), and 10 equates to the worst pain imaginable (worse). Pain intensity scores were to be recorded at the following time points: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post Dose 1. Thereafter pain assessments were to be recorded every 2 hours until 48 hours post Dose 1. Pain intensity differences from baseline at each time point were calculated and a time weighted summed pain intensity difference (SPID) was then calculated. Time weighted SPID calculations were computed by multiplying a weight factor to each score prior to summation. The weight factor at each time point was the time elapsed since the previous observation. A smaller SPID was better.
