Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether Suzetrigine, a new pain medication, can improve pain control and reduce opioid use after total knee replacement. About 235 adults scheduled for knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either Suzetrigine or a placebo, in addition to standard pain care. The study measures how much opioid painkiller participants need and their pain scores on a 0-10 scale.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Suzetrigine (a new pain medication that blocks pain signals from nerves)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new option for managing pain after knee replacement, potentially reducing the need for opioids.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results may not show a significant benefit over existing treatments. The drug is still investigational and may have unknown side effects.
