Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study focuses on ND-340 extended release injection suspension for healthy volunteers with a one-time nerve blockade to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The current investigational product, ND-340, is a bupivacaine microsphere injection with an extended release profiling. Lipid microsphere, or liposphere, has been proposed as new type of lipid-based encapsulation system for drug delivery of bioactive compounds especially lipophilic compound.

ND-340 has not been studied in human before. However, MARCAINE® and EXPAREL® are both FDA-approved drugs, which contain the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) as ND-340, which is bupivacaine. MARCAINE® is indicated for the production of local or regional anesthesia or analgesia for surgery, dental and oral surgery procedures, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and for obstetrical procedures.

In this study, Investigators will focus on determining the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of ND-340.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Marcaine® 100mg/20mL (0.5%) bupivacaine solution for Injection

Marcaine® at 150 mg in each cohort.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Marcaine® 100mg/20mL (0.5%) bupivacaine solution for Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects in this arm will receive a single administration of Marcaine® at the 150 mg.

Marcaine® will be administered under ultrasound guidance with a total volume of 40 mL, of which 20 mL will be used via adductor canal block (ACB) and the other 20 mL will be used as IPACK block (interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee).

ND-340 (Bupivacaine Microsphere), 300 mg/vial bupivacaine for extended-release injectable suspension

ND-340(90-320 mg) at dose escalations

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ND-340 (Bupivacaine Microsphere), 300 mg/vial bupivacaine for extended-release injectable suspension

Intervention Type DRUG

Subjects in this arm will receive a single administration of ND-340 at the specified dose (90-320 mg).

ND-340 will be administered under ultrasound guidance with a total volume of 40 mL, of which 20 mL will be used via adductor canal block (ACB) and the other 20 mL will be used as IPACK block (interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee).

4. Able and willing to comply with all study visits and procedures.
5. The informed consent form has been read, signed and dated by the subject.
6. Able to communicate well with the investigator, comply with study questionnaires, and other instruments used for collecting subject-reported outcomes.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subject has a sitting pulse rate outside the reference range of 50 to 90 beats per minute or an ear temperature outside the reference range of 35.0 to 37.5°C or a sitting blood pressure less than 90/50 mmHg or more than 140/90 mmHg at screening visit.
2. Subject has clinically significant results of physical examination, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, or chest X-ray as judged by the investigator at the screening visit.
3. With abnormal results of sensory and neurological assessment as judged by the investigator at the screening visit.
4. Presence of liver disease or liver injury as indicated by an abnormal liver function profile such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkalinephosphatase (ALP), or total bilirubin, if any one of them is out of the reference range.
