Suzetrigine for Opioid-Free Recovery After Cesarean Delivery (NCT07534709)

Suzetrigine Versus Placebo for Opioid-Free Recovery After Cesarean Delivery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether suzetrigine increases the proportion of patients who remain completely opioid-free from completion of surgery through 72 hours after cesarean delivery. The main question it aims to answer is: Does adjunctive suzetrigine, when added to a standardized multimodal postoperative analgesic regimen, increase the proportion of patients who remain opioid-free during the first 72 hours after cesarean delivery? Researchers will compare suzetrigine to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to evaluate this outcome. Participants will: * Receive either suzetrigine or placebo after cesarean delivery * Receive standard postoperative pain management, including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and neuraxial morphine * Have opioid medications available as needed for breakthrough pain * Be followed during hospitalization and after discharge to assess pain, recovery, and medication use
