HeronBariatric: ZYNRELEF® for Postoperative Analgesia After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Approximately 120 subjects will be randomized into 1 of the following 2 treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio:
Group 1: ZYNRELEF® up to 200 mg/ 6mg ( 7ml vial) via instillation at all incision sites in addition to 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine + 10mg dexamethasone. Postoperatively, intermittent IV acetaminophen will be administered as per need till discharge.
Group 2: 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine and 10mg dexamethasone into all surgical sites and intermittent IV acetaminophen as per need till discharge.
Primary Objective:
To compare the efficacy and duration of analgesia achieved following the instillation of ZYNRELEF® all incision sites in addition to Ropivacaine with dexamethasone + postoperative IV acetaminophen, to the standard treatment of Ropivacaine with dexamethasone + postoperative IV acetaminophen in subjects undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Secondary Objectives:
-
To evaluate additional efficacy parameters, including opioid load, in this study population.
-
To determine the impact of ZYNRELEF® on the cost of pain management.
-
To assess the time taken to resume exercise after discharge.
-
To assess the adverse events reported following the use of ZYNRELEF®.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Group 1 ZYNRELEF® up to 200 mg/ 6mg ( 7ml vial) via instillation at all incision sites in addition to 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine + 10mg dexamethasone. Postoperatively, intermittent IV acetaminophen will be administered as per need till discharge. |
Drug: ZYNRELEF 200Mg-6Mg Extended-Release Solution
ZYNRELEF® is an extended-release, fixed-ratio combination product that contains bupivacaine (a local anesthetic as the free base) and low-dose meloxicam (an NSAID) incorporated in a bioerodible polymer (termed Biochronomer®).
|
| No Intervention: Group 2 30 ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine and 10mg dexamethasone into all surgical sites and intermittent IV acetaminophen as per need till discharge. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Pain Scores [28 days]
Pain intensity scores using the NRS (either seated comfortably or lying down) on Day 0 before surgery, on arrival to the postanesthesia care unit(PACU), half hourly till departure from PACU, every 4 hours on the surgical floor until discharge on Postoperative Day 1 (POD1), then 48 hours,72 hours, Day 6 and Day 28.
- Opioid rescue medication use [28 days]
Date, time of administration, and amount of all opioid rescue medication taken through 72 hours in morphine equivalents. Data from discharge to 72 hours will be collected over a phone call. Subject daily diary to record if any opioids or acetaminophen were taken from 72 hours through Day 28.
- Patient Global Assessment (PGA) [28 days]
Patient Global Assessment (PGA) of pain control at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and on Day 28.
- Discharge readiness assessment per the Modified Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (MPADSS) [24 hours]
Discharge readiness assessment per the Modified Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (MPADSS) criteria at discharge on POD1
- Subject's satisfaction with postoperative pain control [6 days]
Subject's satisfaction with postoperative pain control at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and on Day 6 using a 5-point Likert scale.
- Overall benefit of analgesia score (OBAS) [28 days]
Overall benefit of analgesia score (OBAS) at 24, 48, and 72 hours, and on Day 28.
- Time to Resume Exercise [28 days]
Time taken to resume exercise after discharge in days. Subjects will be encouraged to report the time they resumed exercise. They will be asked at each communication as per the protocol.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Demographics with height, weight, and BMI calculation. [1 day]
- ACE and PHQ scores [1 day]
- Medication history [1 day]
- AEs from the time of drug application at surgery through Day 28. [28 days]
- Episodes of nausea/vomiting and need for antiemetics postoperatively. [48 hours]
Eligibility Criteria

Is able to provide written informed consent.
-
Is able to adhere to the study visit schedule and complete all study assessments.
-
Is male or female or other, and ≥18 years of age at screening.
-
Is scheduled to undergo laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy under general anesthesia
-
Has an American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status of I, II, or III.
-
Female subjects are eligible only if all the following apply:
-
Not pregnant (female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and on Day 1 before surgery).
-
