(See Appendix 1 for prohibited concomitant drugs/non-drug treatments)
  14. Regular alcohol consumption within the 3 months (90 days) prior to screening, defined as more than 14 units per week (1 unit = 360 mL of beer, or 45 mL of 40% spirit, or 150 mL of wine).
  15. Participation in a drug or device clinical trial within the 3 months (90 days) prior to screening, with use of investigational medicinal products or devices. Previous participation in clinical trials of this study drug or similar analgesics (including but not limited to Exparel ®, HYR-PB21, Aihengping®).
  16. History of drug abuse or substance abuse within 1 year prior to screening.

About this study

This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, positive-drug-controlled confirmatory clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CZ1S injection for femoral nerve block (FNB) combined with the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) block for postoperative analgesia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Being tested
ropivacaine (local infiltration), CZ1S for Injection

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain intensity is assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ropivacaine (local infiltration) and CZ1S for Injection in people with Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) and Interspace Between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the Knee (IPACK), run by Zhejiang Cuize Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain intensity is assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome. (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2026.
