ZYNRELEF for Pain Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Study Purpose

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.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
