To Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of TRD303 Solution for Postoperative Analgesia After Abdominal Surgery in a Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-positive Controlled Phase Ⅲ Clinical Trial

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-positive, parallel-controlled, phase Ⅲ clinical trial of the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of TRD303 solution for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgery was conducted. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of TRD303 solution for postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of TRD303 solution for postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: TRD303 group
Before the surgical incision was closed, TRD303 solution was applied to the incision wound.
After the peritoneum was sutured, the final irrigation and suction were performed, and the wound was smeered with TRD303 solution after incision injection before the surgical incision was sutured. The injection volume of the main incision was 2.5mL (±0.5mL was allowed according to the actual situation of the incision). For surgery involving multiple incisions, the secondary incisions were administered according to the number of incisions per unit, and the drug administration volume of each incision was 0-0.5 mL (0mL≤ administration volume ≤0.5mL).
Other Names:
  • Before the surgical incision was closed, TRD303 solution was applied to the incision wound.
Active Comparator: Positive control group
Before the surgical incision was closed, 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride was injected into the incision wound
After the completion of peritoneal suture, final irrigation and aspiration, 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride was injected locally around the incision before the surgical incision was closed. If there was residual drug solution after the administration of the primary incision, the residual drug solution was used to the secondary incision infiltration, and a total of 30mL was given.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo control group
Before the surgical incision was closed, the incision wound was infiltrated with 0.9% sodium chloride injection
After the suture of the peritoneum, final irrigation and aspiration, 0.9% sodium chloride injection was injected locally around the incision before the suture of the surgical incision. If there was residual drug solution after the administration of the primary incision, the residual drug solution was used to the secondary incision infiltration, and a total of 30mL was given.
