New painkiller aims to replace opioids after skin cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07575230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new non-opioid drug, suzetrigine, to the standard opioid painkiller hydrocodone/acetaminophen for pain after Mohs skin cancer surgery. Researchers want to see if suzetrigine can control pain just as well while reducing the need for opioids. The trial involves 75 adults aged 18-89 who are having Mohs surgery for skin tumors.
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 successful, suzetrigine could offer a non-opioid option for managing pain after skin cancer surgery, reducing reliance on opioids.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 75 participants. The drug may not control pain as well as standard care, and side effects are still being studied.
