Contraindication to the use of morphine, general anesthetics, bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine, other local anesthetics, muscle relaxants, hydrocodone, ondansetron, or acetaminophen (e.g., significant history of allergic reactions or intolerance to these or related substances); 10. Known bleeding diathesis or other disorder or current use of agents affecting coagulation. Deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis of the surgeon’s choice is permitted postoperatively; 11. Current use of CNS active drugs such as benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, or SSRIs for pain. These drugs are permitted for non-pain indications if the dose has been stable for at least 30 days. The use of lorazepam and other sleep medications, except those containing analgesic properties, are permitted; 12. Current diabetes mellitus and HbA1C > 9.5 or a history of prolonged uncontrolled diabetes; 13. Use of an antihypertensive agent or diabetic regimen at a dose that has not been stable for at least 30 days; 14. Any medical condition that in the investigator’s opinion could adversely impact the patient’s participation or safety, conduct of the study, or interfere with the pain assessments, including active infection; 15. History of drug, prescription medicine, or alcohol abuse that would interfere with the subject’s safety or the assessments of efficacy in this trial, in the judgment of the investigator; 16. History of nasal mucosal damage or active seasonal allergies, nasal congestion or upper respiratory tract infection sufficient to interfere with intranasal drug delivery; 17. Administration of an investigational product within 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug, or scheduled to receive an investigational product, while participating in the study. 18. Use of Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) in any formulation within the past 30 days prior to study entry and throughout study participation. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Key endpoints in this trial are pharmacokinetics and safety.
The measures of safety to be used in this study are routine clinical and laboratory procedures, with the addition of pulse oximetry for the measurement of continuous oxygen saturation during the period of parenteral opioid use and nasal examinations to evaluate local toxicity.
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Blood samples will be obtained for PK analysis. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Safety: at screening and at the final visit before discharge.
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Blood samples will be collected for PK assessment pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, and 4 hrs after the dose as well as at 6 hrs (prior to administration of the subsequent dose). Blood samples for PK will be collected prior to each subsequent dose of study drug (i.e., at 12, 18, 24 hr, etc). On the morning of post operative day 2 (i.e., Day 2 when the Day of surgery is designated Day 0) until the morning of post-op day 2 a blood sample for PK assessment will be obtained prior to dosing and then a single dose of study drug for that day will be administered. Blood samples for PK assessment will then be collected at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hrs after receiving this single dose. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The efficacy measure to be used in this study is summed pain intensity difference (SPID). Pain intensity will be assessed via a 0-100 mm VAS. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
This will be assessed pre-dose (1st dose of SPRIX) as well as 30 and 60 minutes, and 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 hours after the first dose then following the 48-hour dose, immediately before each subsequent dose up to 5 days in total. |
