New Long-Acting anesthetic could mean fewer pain shots after surgery
NCT ID NCT07717086
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new form of the common anesthetic bupivacaine, called HYR-PB21, designed to provide longer pain relief after surgery. Healthy adults receive a single injection of HYR-PB21 at one of three doses or a standard bupivacaine shot. Researchers measure how the drug moves through the body and check for side effects to see if this longer-lasting version is safe enough for further study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a longer-acting form of the anesthetic bupivacaine called HYR-PB21 (bupivacaine pamoate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a longer-lasting painkiller that reduces the need for repeat injections after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial in only 28 healthy people, so it is too soon to know if it works or is safe for patients. The drug may not last longer or could cause unexpected side effects.
