NCT ID NCT07600697

First seen May 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called suzetrigine to see if it can control pain after transvaginal pelvic surgery without using strong opioids. About 120 women will receive either suzetrigine plus standard pain relievers or standard care with opioids. The goal is to see if suzetrigine works just as well while reducing opioid use and side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Suzetrigine

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-opioid painkiller option for women recovering from pelvic surgery, reducing reliance on addictive opioids.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (120 people) testing non-inferiority, so suzetrigine may not control pain as well as opioids. It also requires scheduled acetaminophen and ibuprofen, so it's not a standalone solution.
