PRF-110 is a viscous, yellowish clear oily solution of ropivacaine intended for administration into surgical sites to provide post-operative analgesia. The pharmacokinetic profile for PRF-110 suggests that its effect could last up to 72 hours. This is A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Saline Placebo- and Active-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Analgesic Efficacy and Safety of Intra-operative Administration of PRF-110 Following Unilateral Bunionectomy
PRF-110 is a unique, sustained-release, oil-based solution formulation of ropivacaine intended for administration into surgical sites for the prevention of postoperative pain. The formulation is designed to have an effect for up to 72 hours. It is postulated that PRF-110 will improve postoperative pain management by providing prolonged pain relief at the surgical site; thereby, reducing the amount of systemic analgesia needed after surgery. The slow, local release of ropivacaine following administration of PRF-110 has been demonstrated in dissolution studies, in postoperative pain studies in animals, in an experimental pain study in human volunteers, and in an open-label Phase 2 hernia repair trial to result in very low plasma concentrations of drug, therefore reducing the probability of systemic adverse events. This is a randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PRF-110 compared with saline placebo and with ropivacaine hydrochloride injection administered intraoperatively in subjects undergoing unilateral bunionectomy.

Measurement of patients pain levels as an indication for the analgesic efficacy of PRF-110
The primary objective of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of PRF-110 with placebo during the first 72 hours after completion of bunionectomy surgery by measuring pain levels using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time frame: 72 hours
Measurement of patients pain levels of PRF-110 as compared to ropivacaine hydrochloride
Measurement of patients pain levels using an 11-point NRS in order to compare the analgesic efficacy of PRF-110 with ropivacaine hydrochloride (0=no pain and 10=worst pain imaginable) (0.5%) injection administered as an infiltration analgesic during the first 72 hours after completion of bunionectomy surgery.
Time frame: 72 hours
Comparison of opiate use to saline placebo
To compare post-surgery opioid consumption (in morphine milligram equivalents) over 72 hours for PRF-110 with that of saline placebo.
Time frame: 72 hours
Comparison of opiate use to ropivacaine HCL injection
To compare post-surgery opioid consumption through 72 hours for PRF-110 with that of ropivacaine injection.
Time frame: 72 hours
Percentage of opiate free subjects
To compare the percentage of subjects who were opioid free through 72 hours post-surgery for PRF-110 compared with that of ropivacaine injection.
Time frame: 72 hours
