The purpose of this study is to provide a more effective postoperative method of pain control for patients undergoing cosmetic sub-muscular breast augmentation. Appropriate postoperative pain management contributes to faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.
This is a phase 3 study conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single local administration of 300 mg of SKY0402 compared with 100 mg of conventional, commercially-available bupivacaine HCl (i.e. Marcaine 0.5% with epinephrine) administered locally into the implant pocket of each breast for postoperative analgesia in subjects undergoing bilateral, cosmetic, sub-muscular, breast augmentation under general anesthesia (endotracheal or otherwise). A total of 600 mg of SKY0402 or 200 mg bupivacaine HCl per subject is therefore administered. Post-operative assessments were conducted including adverse event and serious adverse event monitoring through Day 30.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) With Activity (NRS-A) Pain Intensity Scores
Assessments of postoperative pain included pain intensity at rest (using the NRS at rest \[NRS-R\] and with activity \[using the NRS-A\]) where the prescribed activity was raising both arms. Pain intensity was assessed on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain.
