About this trial

This Phase 2 open-label trial investigates the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and safety profile of TLC590 across various surgical procedures. Researchers aim to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TLC590 via Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC).

The study evaluates TLC590 in bunionectomy, laparoscopy-assisted open ventral hernia repair, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and total knee arthroplasty models. Additionally, it determines the relative bioavailability of TLC590 to ropivacaine injection.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Able and willing to provide written informed consent

Male or female aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive. For the Part 2 breast augmentation surgical model, only females can be enrolled

Unilateral first metatarsal bunionectomy (Cohort 1)

Laparoscopy-assisted open ventral hernia repair (Cohort 2 and 6)

Disqualifiers

A clinically significant abnormal clinical laboratory test value

Evidence of a clinically significant 12-lead ECG

History of orthostatic hypotension, syncope, or other syncopal attacks

History or any clinical manifestation of significant renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric, or other condition that has been assessed by the Investigator to be unsuitable for participation in the study
