Double-Blind, Multicenter, Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of OMS103HP With Vehicle Irrigation Solution in Subjects Undergoing Meniscectomy

Completed · Phase 2/Phase 3

Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of OMS103HP for Injection (OMS103HP) compared with vehicle irrigation solution for prevention of pain and pain relief in subjects undergoing meniscectomy. The pain relief is assessed based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Scores in the immediate 24-hour postoperative period and for seven days postoperatively.
