| NCT07145346 ↗ | Suzetrigine for Acute Pain Control in Patients With Multiple Rib Fractures | NOT_YET_RECRUITING | University of California, Irvine | PHASE4 | 2025-08-01 | Rib fractures cause a significant amount of pain and are associated with an increased risk of lung infections, long hospitalization, and increased cost. Effective pain control is the cornerstone of management to improve lung function and minimize complications. Most often this is done with a multimodal pain routine consisting of: acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), topical lidocaine, muscle relaxants, and opioids. However, suzetrigine is a promising alternative to treat acute pain associated with rib fractures. We think the addition of suzetrigine to a multimodal pain regimen will improve pain and decrease opioid use. |
| NCT07195669 ↗ | RCT: Suzetrigine vs Norco for Post-op Pain | NOT_YET_RECRUITING | Jacob Lensing | PHASE4 | 2025-10-01 | Journavx (suzetrigine) is a novel non-opioid analgesic that is FDA approved for acute pain management and may offer a promising alternative for managing postoperative pain. Suzetrigine is selective inhibitor of the sodium channel NaV1.8, for managing acute pain. NaV1.8, a sodium channel, plays a key role in transmitting pain signals. Importantly, this channel is minimally expressed in the brain, enabling effective pain control without the potential central nervous system side effects of respiratory depression and addiction associated with opioids. Clinical trials have shown Journavx to be effective in managing moderate to severe post-operative pain equal to that of opiates. This study aims to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of Journavx in managing post-operative pain after third molar removal and orthognathic surgery. Participants in this study should be aged 18-45 without significant autoimmune diseases, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, chronic pain disorder including temporomandibular joint disorder, bleeding disorders, pregnant or nursing, undergoing either extraction of both lower third molars or orthognathic surgery of both the maxilla and mandible. |
| NCT07226700 ↗ | Suzetrigine in Total Hip Arthroplasty | NOT_YET_RECRUITING | Hospital for Special Surgery, New York | PHASE3 | 2025-11-30 | Total hip and knee joint replacements are among the most common and painful orthopedic procedures performed worldwide, often requiring intensive analgesia to support early ambulation and recovery. Despite widespread use of multimodal regimens, many patients still rely on opioids, which can cause sedation, nausea, constipation, and long-term dependency. Evaluating Suzetrigine in this high-need population may improve recovery trajectories, reduce opioid consumption, and support enhanced recovery protocols. Given the growing surgical volume and the emphasis on opioid-sparing strategies, rigorous investigation of Suzetrigine's efficacy in joint replacement is of high clinical value. In this study, patients undergoing primary total hip replacement will be randomized to receive either Suzetrigine or placebo for seven days, with the loading dose administered prior to surgery. The primary outcome is cumulative 48-hour opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents starting from entry into the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). |
| NCT07355166 ↗ | Suzetrigine Versus Usual-care Opioids for Postop Pain in Sports | NOT_YET_RECRUITING | University of California, Los Angeles | PHASE4 | 2026-02-01 | The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Suzetrigine-based multimodal pain regimen can reduce the volume of opioid consumption while maintaining non-inferior pain control compared to an opioid-based multimodal pain regimen after common ambulatory orthopaedic sports procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does including Suzetrigine in the multimodal pain regimen lower the volume of opioids consumed by participants while maintaining non-inferior pain control? 2. How does the side-effect profile of a Suzetrigine-based multimodal postop pain regimen compare to that of an opioid-based multimodal postoperative pain regimen? Eligible participants will be assigned to receive one of the postop pain regimens and report their opioid use, their pain level, and the side effects they faced every day for 7 days. |
| NCT07357376 ↗ | Evaluating Suzetrigine for Pain Control Following TKA | NOT_YET_RECRUITING | American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons | PHASE3 | 2026-03-01 | The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a non-opioid pain medicine called suzetrigine works to treat pain after total knee replacement surgery in adults. It will also learn about the safety of suzetrigine. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does suzetrigine lower the amount of opioid pain medicine participants use after surgery? Does suzetrigine have any effect on postoperative patient-reported outcomes, including pain scores, range of motion, length of stay, and KOOS/PROMIS surveys? Researchers will compare suzetrigine to a placebo to see if suzetrigine works to treat pain after total knee replacement surgery. Participants will: Take suzetrigine or a placebo by mouth for 14 days after surgery Receive standard pain care, including opioid pain medicine only if needed Report their pain levels using short daily surveys Attend routine follow-up visits after surgery |
