Phase 3 Study of Local Administration of SKY0402 for Postoperative Analgesia in Subject Undergoing Breast Augmentation

Pain Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Parallel-group, Active-control Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Local Administration of SKY0402 for Prolonged Postoperative Analgesia in Subjects Undergoing Bilateral, Cosmetic Sub-muscular Breast Augmentation

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to provide a more effective postoperative method of pain control for patients undergoing cosmetic sub-muscular breast augmentation. Appropriate postoperative pain management contributes to faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a phase 3 study conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single local administration of 300 mg of SKY0402 compared with 100 mg of conventional, commercially-available bupivacaine HCl (i.e. Marcaine 0.5% with epinephrine) administered locally into the implant pocket of each breast for postoperative analgesia in subjects undergoing bilateral, cosmetic, sub-muscular, breast augmentation under general anesthesia (endotracheal or otherwise). A total of 600 mg of SKY0402 or 200 mg bupivacaine HCl per subject is therefore administered. Post-operative assessments were conducted including adverse event and serious adverse event monitoring through Day 30. ;
