Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare opioid medication consumption after surgery for patients who have a total knee replacement.

The main questions it aims to answer are:
  • How well does the study drug control pain in the days after surgery?

  • Does the study drug reduce the amount of opioid analgesic consumed after surgery?

Participants in the study group will undergo a total knee replacement as planned with their surgeon. In addition, be given the study drug, Zynrelef (combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam).

Researchers will compare the above to a control group who will have a total knee replace only according to usual standards to see if there are any differences in the amount of a type of pain medication (opioid analgesic) consumed in the days following surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Intervention

In addition to the standard-of-care arm description, single administration of Bupivacaine-Meloxicam 400 Mg-12 Mg/14 mL Injectable Solution, Extended Release in the surgical site before complete wound closure.

Drug: Bupivacaine-Meloxicam 400 Mg-12 Mg/14 mL Injectable Solution, Extended Release
Instillation of the drug into the knee joint capsule and surrounding tissues after placing the knee prosthesis and before close of the surgical wound
Other Names:
  • Zynrelef
  • No Intervention: Standard-of-care

    Usual standard of care procedure for knee replacement and pain management before, during and immediately following surgery.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Total opioid analgesic consumption [5 days following surgical procedure]

      Amount of opioid analgesic consumed in the time frame calculated as Morphine Milligram Equivalent (MME).

    2. Change in pain assessment scores [Baseline and every 24 hours for 120 hours following surgical procedure]

      Pain assessment scores using the pain Numeric Rating Scale for pain (NRS). The NRS scale is measured on a scale of 0 - 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the most severe pain.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of major complications [42 days following surgical procedure]

      Number of procedure-related adverse events and medication-related adverse events.
