A Phase IV, Open-Label, Randomized, Active-controlled, Single-Center Study of ZYNRELEF® for Postoperative Analgesia After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-10-09

Summary

Approximately 120 subjects will be randomized into 1 of the following 2 treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio:

Group 1: ZYNRELEF® up to 200 mg/ 6mg ( 7ml vial) via instillation at all incision sites in addition to 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine + 10mg dexamethasone. Postoperatively, intermittent IV acetaminophen will be administered as per need till discharge.

Group 2: 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine and 10mg dexamethasone into all surgical sites and intermittent IV acetaminophen as per need till discharge.

Primary Objective:

To compare the efficacy and duration of analgesia achieved following the instillation of ZYNRELEF® all incision sites in addition to Ropivacaine with dexamethasone + postoperative IV acetaminophen, to the standard treatment of Ropivacaine with dexamethasone + postoperative IV acetaminophen in subjects undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Secondary Objectives:

1. To evaluate additional efficacy parameters, including opioid load, in this study population.

2. To determine the impact of ZYNRELEF® on the cost of pain management.

3. To assess the time taken to resume exercise after discharge.

4. To assess the adverse events reported following the use of ZYNRELEF®.
