Pecs Blocks + Exparel for Breast Reduction Surgery
Chicago, IllinoisThis project intends to more thoroughly investigate the direct influence of Pecs blocks in the administration of Exparel, a non-opioid analgesic, in breast reconstruction surgery. The hypothesis is that this analgesic delivery method will significantly reduce negative outcomes such as post-operative pain, opioid use, and nausea while increasing positive outcomes such as post-operative physical activity.

Exparel vs Bupivacaine for Postoperative Pain After Thoracoscopy
Hershey, PennsylvaniaThe purpose of this study is to assess pharmacokinetics of liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) after multilevel intercostal injections of this local anesthetic for pain control during and after thoracoscopic surgeries.
The specific aim of this study is to evaluate plasma concentration of bupivacaine after intraoperative intercostal injections of 266 mg of liposomal bupivacaine and compare it to plasma concentrations of bupivacaine after intercostal injections of 2mg/kg of 0.5% plain Bupivacaine with maximal dose of 30 ml or 150 mg.
The hypothesis of the study is that plasma concentration of bupivacaine after intercostal injections of 266 mg of liposomal bupivacaine will be similar to concentrations after injections of plain bupivacaine, and will remain below the toxic level threshold range of 2000-3000 ng/mL (2-3 mg/L) at which central nervous system and cardiovascular adverse events would be expected to occur.
The secondary objective is to evaluate if intercostal injections of 266 mg of liposomal bupivacaine will significantly reduce opioid consumption and postsurgical pain, within the first 48 hours and up to 3 months after minimally invasive thoracic surgeries, to determine if both acute and chronic post-thoracotomy pain can be decreased by intraoperative intercostal injections of liposomal bupivacaine.
Additionally, the rate of pneumonia, the rate of atrial fibrillation and length of hospital stay will be assessed as secondary outcomes after thoracic surgeries. These outcomes can be affected by the level of postoperative pain and inflammation.
Significance of this study: If positive, the results of this research have the potential to significantly improve pain management after thoracoscopic surgery.
Based on prior experience, prolonged analgesia after liposomal bupivacaine injection is safe, and may help reduce perioperative opioid consumption and decrease opioid related complications. It will improve patient comfort, eliminate need for indwelling neuraxial catheters and risks associated with them.

Pain Control with Exparel and Xylocaine for Rhinoplasty
Rochester, MinnesotaThe purpose of this study is to find out whether injecting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug EXPAREL®, a long acting (approximately 96 hours) numbing medication, will reduce pain after rib cartilage removal in comparison to the standard injection of XYLOCAINE®.

Pain Management for Postoperative Pain
Tampa, FloridaThe goal of this clinical trail is to to compare the efficacy of thoracolumbar interfascial plane block with Exparel vs with standard of care 0.25% Bupivacaine HCl in patients undergoing 1-3 level elective transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. The investigators hypothesize that thoracolumbar interfascial plane block with Exparel will outperform standard of care (supplemented with interfascial plane block of 0.25% Bupivacaine HCl) with regards to pain reduction, narcotic use, length of hospital stay, time to mobilization with physical therapy, narcotic usage in the hospital, and post operative pain scores.

Exparel for Postoperative Pain
Frisco, TexasThe goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if administration of Exparel via local infiltration for medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction procedures in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine patients provides significant pain relief and decreased narcotic use. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does Exparel significantly reduce Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores and pain levels up to one week postoperatively?
* Does Exparel significantly decrease narcotic use (number of pills taken) up to one week postoperatively?
Researchers will compare the pain outcomes and narcotic use of patients who receive Exparel and Marcaine via local infiltration to those of patients who receive only Marcaine via local infiltration for their MPFL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to understand if there is a significant difference in patient pain outcomes and narcotic use outside the first 24 hours postoperatively.
Participants will:
* receive either Exparel + Marcaine intraoperatively or Marcaine only intraoperatively during their MPFL reconstruction surgery
* receive and complete questionnaires at postoperative days 1, 4, and 7 regarding their pain scores, levels, and outcomes, effective pain treatments, overall pain interference, narcotic use (number of pills taken), and overall pain treatment satisfaction
* receive and complete secondary outcome measures of functional and psychological outcomes regarding their MPFL reconstruction surgery at postoperative day 1

Zynrelef vs Exparel for Postoperative Pain
Lubbock, TexasThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an injectable combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam (Zynrelef) vs injectable liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel), two extended local anesthesia strategies currently approved by FDA and on the market for post-surgical pain control. The investigators plan on randomizing study participants to either Exparel or Zynrelef at the closure site of robotic sleeve gastrectomy and assessing their pain control postoperatively both in the hospital and at home. The investigators will measure the outcome of two drugs, Zynrelief, and Exparel on postoperative pain score -using the NRS pin score up to 72 hours after surgery. The total opioid use will be recorded in forms that will be used to measure pain score and total opioid use and will be collected to the Excel sheet. The cost of the drug will be calculated for internal use for Hospital purpose only.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Exparel for Postoperative Pain, Zynrelef vs Exparel for Postoperative Pain and Pain Management Blocks for Mastectomy in Breast Cancer to the Power online platform.
