Recruiting now · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Pain After Abdominal Surgery

In brief

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and positive-controlled phase II clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HSK55718 injection for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of HSK55718 for postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of TRD303 solution for postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery.
