Pain relief after abdominal surgery with SYH9089: early safety and dosing in adults

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Drug and Placebo Parallel-Controlled, Dose-Escalation Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety , Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of SYH9089 Injection in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery

Run by CSPC Ouyi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07519109 · Data updated 2026-11-12

A small early study will test if SYH9089 helps with pain after abdominal surgery compared to placebo, in adults 18–75, while also checking safety and how the drug stays in the body.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with BMI 19–28 kg/m2 (men ≥50 kg, women ≥45 kg), ASA I–II, scheduled for elective abdominal surgery with a main incision 5–9 cm, and able to consent and communicate with researchers.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not respond to the drug or have safety concerns or contraindications may not experience pain relief.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 1 trial in adults undergoing elective abdominal surgery. Participants receive varying doses of SYH9089 or a placebo, with active comparator ropivacaine as a reference. The study will assess tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy for postoperative analgesia. It uses dose escalation to identify safe and potentially effective doses. Enrollment is limited to patients meeting specific health and surgical criteria at a single center in Changsha, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SYH9089 could provide effective pain relief after abdominal surgery with an acceptable safety profile.

How similar studies have gone: Previous early-phase trials with similar analgesic approaches have shown variable safety and pharmacokinetic findings; this study explores a new formulation.

Patients with a history of severe or refractory postoperative nausea or vomiting; 10. Patients scheduled to receive interventions (e.g., intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy, local/intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, or infrared therapy) during the observation period (randomization to 120h after administration) that may interfere with postoperative pain assessment 11. Use of the following drugs for less than 5 half-lives before randomization (based on the actual drug instructions; or within 7 days prior to randomization if the half-life is unclear) which, in the investigator's judgement, may affect the evaluation of analgesic efficacy. These include, but are not limited to: narcotics (opioids), local anesthetics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), sedative-hypnotics, non-benzodiazepines, sedative anesthetics, glucocorticoids (except for topical use), antiepileptics, anxiolytics, antidepressants, as well as Chinese herbal medicines or proprietary Chinese medicines with sedative or analgesic effects; 12.

Subjects with abnormal findings during the screening period (prior to admission) in vital signs, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, or laboratory tests, which in the investigator's judgement make the subject unsuitable for participation in this trial, including:

  1. Patientss with poorly controlled blood pressure despite medication: systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg; or systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg;
  2. 12-lead ECG: QTcF ≥450 ms for males or ≥470 ms for females, or a history of severe arrhythmias such as second-degree type II or higher atrioventricular block, or a history of cardiac insufficiency;

Patients who underwent major surgery within 3 months prior to randomization, or surgery that may significantly affect the in vivo metabolism of the investigational product or the evaluation of safety; 18.
