Summary
This trial tests a new drug (HTX-011) against an existing one (bupivacaine HCl) for shoulder and tummy surgery.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals scheduled for a unilateral Total Shoulder Arthroplasty or abdominoplasty, with an ASA Physical Status of I-III. Exclusions include recent NSAID use, prior surgeries within specific timeframes, high BMI (>40 kg/m2), drug abuse history, active COVID-19 infection, certain medication use close to surgery, and known allergies to study drugs.
What is being tested?
The study tests HTX-011 against bupivacaine HCl in patients undergoing shoulder replacement or tummy tuck surgeries. It's randomized and blinded; participants won't know which treatment they receive. The goal is to compare pain relief effectiveness between the two treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to local anesthetics like bupivacaine (e.g., numbness, tingling), NSAIDs (e.g., stomach issues, allergic reactions), acetaminophen (e.g., liver damage at high doses), and general post-surgical risks such as infection.
