ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called TLC590 to help manage pain after surgery, specifically after inguinal hernia repair surgery. The goal is to find out how safe and effective this treatment is for adults who have just had this type of surgery. The study will be organized in two parts and will compare TLC590 to a placebo (a treatment that has no active ingredients) to see how well it works.
To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and scheduled for a specific type of hernia surgery. You should have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 39, and your overall health should be classified as stable (levels 1, 2, or 3 on a scale used by doctors). However, certain health conditions or medications may prevent you from joining. If you decide to participate, you will receive treatment and be monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure your safety and gather information about your recovery. This trial is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable information for future pain management after surgery.
