APOLLO-2: A Randomized, Placebo and Active-Controlled Phase III Study Investigating Oliceridine (TRV130), a G Protein-Biased Ligand at the μ-Opioid Receptor, for Management of Moderate to Severe Acute Pain Following Abdominoplasty.

Abstract

The clinical utility of conventional intravenous opioids is limited by the occurrence of opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs). Oliceridine is a novel G protein-biased μ-opioid receptor agonist designed to provide analgesia with an improved safety and tolerability profile. This phase III, double-blind, randomized trial [APOLLO-2 (NCT02820324)] evaluated the efficacy and safety of oliceridine for acute pain following abdominoplasty.
