Study summary

LNP is new extended release (ER) oily solution formulation of ropivacaine that is intended for local infiltration into surgical wounds. The purpose of this study is to determine the ease of usage and administration of LNP in the surgical setting, to follow the Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of LNP over 72 hours and evaluate the duration of analgesia witnessed in the surgical setting.

Read the detailed description

LNP is new extended release (ER) oily solution formulation of ropivacaine that is intended for local infiltration into surgical wounds. The formulation is designed to slowly release the ropivacaine over 36-72 hours. By providing local analgesia over a long time span, the need for systemic analgesics is expected to be reduced and hospital stays may be shortened. The purpose of this study is to determine the ease of usage and administration of LNP in the surgical setting, to follow the PK profile of LNP over 72 hours and evaluate the duration of analgesia witnessed in the surgical setting.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (safety and tolerability).

    All adverse events (AE) reported by the subjects will be recorded throughout the trial period

    Time frame: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Post-operative Pain intensity

    Pain on a scale of 0-10 assessed at 0,1,2,4,8,12,24,36,48,60,72hrs post operation will be used to evaluate pain intensity

    Time frame: 72 hours

Other outcomes

  1. Use of rescue medication

    Overall use of rescue medication post operation

    Time frame: 72 hours

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Samples will be collected at designated times up to 72hrs post drug application

    Time frame: 72 hrs
