Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Numeric Rating Scale at Rest (NRS-R) Pain Intensity Scores

    To assess pain intensity at rest (NRS-R), the subject was to assume a resting position that did not exacerbate his or her postoperative pain. The subject was to rest in this position for at least 5 minutes before responding to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?"

    through 96 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Through Day 3 and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Through Day 30

    through day 30

Study Arms (2)

Bupivacaine HCl

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

100 mg Bupivacaine HCl (e.g., Marcaine with epinephrine 1:200,000) is the reference-listed drug for bupivacaine and contains the same active, local anesthetic as SKY0402. A single dose of study drug was administered intraoperatively (at the end of surgery) via local infiltration.

Drug: Bupivacaine HCl

SKY0402

OTHER

300 mg SKY0402 in a 40-mL injection volume. A single dose of study drug was administered intraoperatively (at the end of surgery) via local infiltration.

Drug: SKY0402

Interventions

100 mg Bupivacaine HCl

Also known as: Marcaine with epinephrine 1:200,000
Bupivacaine HCl

Single administration 300 mg SKY0402 in a 40-mL injection volume

Also known as: DepoBupivacaine
SKY0402

  • Use of any long-acting opioid medication within 3 days of surgery or any opioid medication with 24 hours of surgery.
  • Concurrent painful physical condition or concurrent surgery that may require analgesic treatment in the postoperative period for pain not strictly related to the procedure or that may interfere with study assessments.
  • Single-column hemorrhoidectomy
  • Body weight less than 50 kg (110 pounds)
  • History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to amide-type local anesthetics, opioid medication, or any ingredient of the medications administered in this study (e.g., sulfites in Marcaine with epinephrine)
  • contraindication to epinephrine
  • contraindication to any of the pain-control agents planned for postoperative use
  • Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 elimination half-lives of such investigational drug prior to study drug administration
  • History of, known addiction, or abuse of illicit drugs, prescription medicines or alcohol within the past 2 years.
  • Uncontrolled anxiety schizophrenic, or other psychiatric disorder that may interfere with study assessments or compliance.

  • Any clinically significant event or condition uncovered during surgery
  • A cumulative incision length less than 3 cm
