Clinical Trial Summary

This study is the first time into human study (FTIH) for HYR-PB21 for injection. The study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending and single subcutaneous dose of HYR-PB21 for injection in healthy adult volunteers.The results of this study are intended to be used to identify appropriate and well tolerated doses of HYR-PB21 for injection to be used in further studies. A comparison of PK/PD characteristics between HYR-PB21 for injection and EXPAREL will also be included in this study.

Note: Provision of documentation is not required for female sterilization, verbal confirmation is adequate.

7. Have a body mass index 18-30 kg/m2 (inclusive).

8. Blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg at screening and heart rate <100 bpm. One repeat assessment is permitted. Screening laboratory tests that are deemed to be non-clinically significant by the investigator.

9. Subjects must not have donated or lost more than 400 mL of blood within 12 weeks of dosing, more than 200mL of blood within 4 weeks of dosing or donated any blood within 2 weeks of dosing.

10. Subjects must not donate sperm or egg during study or in 30 days after dosing.

11. Be able to understand the study procedures, comply with all study procedures, and agree to participate in the study program.

12. Be able to understand and communicate in English.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions to amide-type local anaesthetics.

2. History of abnormal bleeding tendencies/clotting disorders.

3. History of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.

4. History of significant neurological, hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, cardiac arrhythmias, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, or metabolic disease.

5. Regular use of anticoagulants.

6. Received any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug prior to study drug administration, and/or has planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during his/her participation in this study.

7. Currently pregnant or nursing.

8. The subject has a history of substance abuse or smoking, a positive ethanol breath test, urine cotinine, or urine drug screen at screening or at check-in. One repeat test is allowable if a false positive is suspected at the investigator's discretion.

9. The subject has a positive serum hepatitis B surface antigen or positive HCV antibody test at the Screening Visit.

10. Subject has a positive HIV test at the Screening Visit.

11. Received bupivacaine, other local anaesthetic, prescription or OTC medications, herbal remedies or supplements per standard practice within 14 days of first study drug administration. Received caffeine and alcohol consumption within 48 h prior to drug administration.

12. Any conditions, that according to investigator's best judgment, prevent participation in the trial.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve from the time of administration to the time of the last quantifiable concentration calculated using the log-linear trapezoidal rule	Pharmacokinetic parameters will be estimated from plasma bupivacaine measurements using non-compartmental analysis, based on the sampling schedule at predose (on Day 1 prior to study drug administration); 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours and 14 days post-dose.	15 days
Primary	The area under the plasma concentration-versus-time curve from the time of administration extrapolated to infinity.	The residual area from the time of the last quantifiable concentration to infinity is to be calculated using the approximation	15 days
Primary	The maximum observed plasma bupivacaine concentration obtained directly from the experimental data without interpolation.		15 days
Primary	The time to maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)		15 days
Primary	The apparent terminal elimination half-life calculated as 0.693/?z		15 days
Primary	The apparent terminal elimination rate constant determined by log-linear regression of the terminal log-linear segment of the plasma concentration-versus-time curve		15 days
Primary	The average Von Frey filament pressure across five test points at each protocol scheduled time-point	Detection of the loss of feeling at injection site (at selected five representative test points) by Von Frey filaments in different pressures will be estimated at 15-45 min pre-dose; 0.25, 0.5 , 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hour post-dose.	8 days
Primary	Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0		15 days

Primary	Observer's assessment of alertness/sedation(OAA/S) scale	Six categories of responsiveness scores were characterized by the following responses for the OAA/S assessment: Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone (5 scores); Responds lethargically to name spoken in normal tone (4 scores); Responds only after name is called loudly, repeatedly, or both (3 scores); Responds only after mild prodding or shaking (2 scores); Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze (1 score); Does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze (0 score)	5 days
