Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Pain Intensity (PI)
1 to 72 hours post-surgery

Pain intensity (PI) on movement AUC over the period 1 to 72 hours post-surgery. Subjects assessed their pain intensity using an 11-point Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (PI-NRS) with NRS scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible). The AUC is computed for each patient using the standard trapezoidal rule and normalised by dividing by the time interval over which it is computed. This normalisation converts the AUC to the natural pain scale (NRS 0-10) to allow for better translation of the clinical treatment effect magnitude.

Supplemental Opioid Use
0-3 days after surgery

Cumulative IV morphine-equivalent dose of opioid rescue medication

Frequently asked questions about SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a

What is SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a used for?

SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a is an investigational small molecule being developed for postoperative pain. It is a long-acting local anesthetic intended to provide pain control after surgery. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a?

SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a is being developed by DURECT Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol DRRX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety for postoperative pain management.

What phase is SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a in?

SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. Two Phase 2 trials have been completed, but the drug remains in active clinical investigation.

What clinical trials has SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a been in?

SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials. NCT00993226 evaluated the drug in 115 women undergoing hysterectomy, and NCT00993798 evaluated it in 107 patients following arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Both trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.

How does SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a work?

SABER-Bupivacaine Treatment 1a is a small molecule that delivers bupivacaine, a local anesthetic, using a sustained-release formulation. It is designed to provide prolonged pain relief at the surgical site. The drug targets pain signaling by blocking nerve impulses in the area where it is administered.
