Brief summary: This study is the first time into human study (FTIH) for HYR-PB21 for injection. The study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending and single subcutaneous dose of HYR-PB21 for injection in healthy adult volunteers.The results of this study are intended to be used to identify appropriate and well tolerated doses of HYR-PB21 for injection to be used in further studies. A comparison of PK/PD characteristics between HYR-PB21 for injection and EXPAREL will also be included in this study.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Voluntarily provide written informed consent.
2. Subjects who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring.
3. Subjects with liver function tests (LFTs) within the reference range, or deemed clinically not significant by the investigator or delegate.
4. Male or female (of non-child bearing potential) between 18 and 50 years of age, inclusive.
5. If female, be of non-childbearing potential: e.g. post-menopausal for ≥12 consecutive months with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ≥40 mIU/mL at Screening; or surgical sterilization for at least 90 days prior to screening e.g., tubal ligation or hysterectomy. Note: Provision of documentation is not required for female sterilization, verbal confirmation is adequate.
6. Male patients must be surgically sterile (biologically or surgically) or commit to the use of a reliable method of birth control for the duration of the study until at least 30 days after the administration of study medication.
7. Have a body mass index 18-30 kg/m2 (inclusive).
8. Blood pressure \< 140/90 mmHg at screening and heart rate \<100 bpm. One repeat assessment is permitted. Screening laboratory tests that are deemed to be non-clinically significant by the investigator.
9. Subjects must not have donated or lost more than 400 mL of blood within 12 weeks of dosing, more than 200mL of blood within 4 weeks of dosing or donated any blood within 2 weeks of dosing.
10. Subjects must not donate sperm or egg during study or in 30 days after dosing.
11. Be able to understand the study procedures, comply with all study procedures, and agree to participate in the study program.
12. Be able to understand and communicate in English.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions to amide-type local anaesthetics.
2. History of abnormal bleeding tendencies/clotting disorders.
3. History of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.
4. History of significant neurological, hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, cardiac arrhythmias, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, or metabolic disease.
5. Regular use of anticoagulants.
6. Received any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug prior to study drug administration, and/or has planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during his/her participation in this study.
7. Currently pregnant or nursing.
8. The subject has a history of substance abuse or smoking, a positive ethanol breath test, urine cotinine, or urine drug screen at screening or at check-in. One repeat test is allowable if a false positive is suspected at the investigator's discretion.
9. The subject has a positive serum hepatitis B surface antigen or positive HCV antibody test at the Screening Visit.
10. Subject has a positive HIV test at the Screening Visit.
11. Received bupivacaine, other local anaesthetic, prescription or OTC medications, herbal remedies or supplements per standard practice within 14 days of first study drug administration. Received caffeine and alcohol consumption within 48 h prior to drug administration.
12. Any conditions, that according to investigator's best judgment, prevent participation in the trial.
