Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain intensity scores through 7 days (168 hours) for participants receiving Exparel vs. R.E.C.K.
Day of Surgery to Day 7 Post-Surgery

Assess pain intensity (evaluated by NRS) after surgery on the as response to the prompt: "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?" The AUC will be derived for each participant from self-reported pain scores and will be summarized by treatment group. Generalized linear models with main effect of treatment will be estimated to test for significant differences in AUC between the arms.

Secondary Endpoints

Estimated difference in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain intensity scores over 7 days for participants receiving Exparel vs. R.E.C.K.
Day of Surgery to Day 7 Post-Surgery
Total postsurgical opioid consumption (morphine equivalent dose) over 7 days for participants receiving Exparel vs. R.E.C.K.
Day of Surgery to Day 7 Post-Surgery
Estimated difference in postsurgical opioid consumption (in morphine equivalent dose) over 7 days for participants receiving Exparel vs. R.E.C.K.

Frequently asked questions about Ropivacaine

What is Ropivacaine used for in Renal Carcinoma?

Ropivacaine is an investigational small molecule being studied for pain management in patients with Renal Carcinoma undergoing robotic nephrectomy. It is in a Phase 3 clinical trial that compares it to Exparel, an active control, to evaluate its effectiveness in managing pain after the surgical procedure.

What does Ropivacaine target?

Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in the area where it is administered, providing pain relief. In the context of the Phase 3 trial, it is used locally to manage postoperative pain in patients with Renal Carcinoma after robotic nephrectomy.

Who makes Ropivacaine?

Ropivacaine is being developed by Atrium Therapeutics, Inc., a company listed under the ticker RNA. The company is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the drug for pain management in Renal Carcinoma patients undergoing robotic nephrectomy.

What phase is Ropivacaine in?

Ropivacaine is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, not yet approved, and is being studied in a randomized, active-controlled trial for pain management in Renal Carcinoma patients undergoing robotic nephrectomy.

What clinical trials is Ropivacaine in?

Ropivacaine is being studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07092566, titled 'R.E.C.K vs Exparel in Robotic Nephrectomy'. This trial is recruiting 170 participants in the United States and is evaluating the drug for pain management in Renal Carcinoma patients.

Is Ropivacaine the same as Ropivacaine HCL?

Yes, Ropivacaine is also known as Ropivacaine HCL. Both names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by Atrium Therapeutics, Inc. for pain management in Renal Carcinoma patients undergoing robotic nephrectomy.
