Brief Summary:
Effective postoperative pain control to promote improved healing, faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Hemorrhoids | Drug: Bupivacaine HCl Drug: SKY0402 | Phase 3 |
Effective postoperative pain control is a critical element in patient recovery, as the majority of patients may experience significant pain, particularly in the first few days following surgery. Appropriate postoperative pain management contributes to improved healing, faster patient mobilization, shortened hospital stays, and reduced healthcare costs.

Active Comparator: Bupivacaine HCl
100 mg Bupivacaine HCl (e.g., Marcaine with epinephrine 1:200,000) is the reference-listed drug for bupivacaine and contains the same active, local anesthetic as SKY0402. A single dose of study drug was administered intraoperatively (at the end of surgery) via local infiltration. |

SKY0402
300 mg SKY0402 in a 40-mL injection volume. A single dose of study drug was administered intraoperatively (at the end of surgery) via local infiltration. |

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Numeric Rating Scale at Rest (NRS-R) Pain Intensity Scores [ Time Frame: through 96 hours ]To assess pain intensity at rest (NRS-R), the subject was to assume a resting position that did not exacerbate his or her postoperative pain. The subject was to rest in this position for at least 5 minutes before responding to the following question, "On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, how much pain are you having right now?"
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Through Day 3 and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Through Day 30 [ Time Frame: through day 30 ]
