Study of Post-Herniorrhaphy Non-opioid MMA Regimens

A Phase 3b, Randomized, Open-Label Study of HTX-011 as the Foundation of a Non-opioid, Multimodal Analgesic Regimen to Decrease Opioid Use Following Unilateral Open Inguinal Herniorrhaphy

This is a Phase 3b, open-label study to assess postoperative opioid use in subjects undergoing unilateral open inguinal herniorrhaphy with intraoperative administration of HTX-011 and a postoperative non-opioid multimodal analgesic (MMA) regimen. The study will be conducted in 2 sequential parts: Part 1 is randomized and Part 2 is Investigator's preference for MMA regimen.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Is scheduled and medically fit to undergo an elective unilateral open inguinal herniorrhaphy with mesh under deep sedation or general anesthesia; no neuraxial technique (eg, no spinal or epidural).
• Has an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status of I, II, or III.
• Female subjects are eligible only if not pregnant, not lactating, not planning to become pregnant during the study, sterile; or using acceptable contraceptives.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has a planned concurrent surgical procedure (eg, bilateral herniorrhaphy).
• Has a pre-existing concurrent acute or chronic painful physical/restrictive condition expected to require analgesic treatment in the postoperative period for pain.
• Has a contraindication or a known or suspected history of hypersensitivity or clinically significant idiosyncratic reaction to required study medications.
• Part 1 only: Has known or suspected daily use of opioids for 7 or more consecutive days within the previous 6 months. Part 2 only: Has known or suspected history of persistent opioid use, defined as daily, or almost daily, use of opioids for a period of at least 30 days within the previous 6 months.
• Has taken any opioids within 24 hours prior to the scheduled surgery.
• Has a known or suspected history of drug abuse, has a positive drug screen on the day of surgery, consumes 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day, or has a recent history of alcohol abuse.
• Has a medical condition such that, in the opinion of the Investigator, participating in the study would pose a health risk to the subject or confound the postoperative assessments .
