study to evaluate eb-001 in reducing musculoskeletal pain

Conditions: Musculoskeletal Pain

Summary: to determine the safety and efficacy of single intra-operative treatment of eb-001 im injections into the pectoralis major (pm) in subjects undergoing breast augmentation with subpectoral implants

this study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of eb-001 in decreasing post-surgical pain in patients undergoing surgical breast augmentation with subpectoral placement of the implants. intramuscular (im) injection of eb-001 into the pm bilaterally during surgery may decrease pain related to stretching of the pm by the implants. the safety objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of single intraoperative treatment of eb-001 im injections into the pm in subjects undergoing breast augmentation with subpectoral implants. the efficacy objective is to evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative administration of eb-001 im into the pm in reducing the pain and use of rescue pain medications in subjects undergoing breast augmentation with subpectoral implants.
