A Health Economic Trial in Adult Patients Undergoing Ileostomy Reversal MA402S23B504

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Retraction of Colostomy
Interventions
Drug: IV morphine sulfate or Sponsor-approved equivalent
Registration Number
NCT01509807
Lead Sponsor
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc
Brief Summary

This study is designed to compare the standard of care against EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) to determine if total opioid consumption is reduced when using EXPAREL, therefore possibly reducing total hospitalization costs.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 4, prospective, sequential, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and health economic benefits of intraoperative local wound infiltration with EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) compared with postsurgical administration of standardized intravenous (IV) morphine sulfate for postsurgical analgesia in adult patients undergoing ileostomy reversal with general anesthesia.
