Can Continuously Infused
Ketorolac Wash Away Opioids?
Momentum is building for Neumentum, which last month moved a
step closer to launching the first continuously infused NSAID for
acute post-operative pain. A phase I study confirmed that NTM-001,
an alcohol-free formulation of ketorolac in a pre-mixed bag designed
for 24 hours of continuous infusion following surgery, provides con-
sistent, steady blood plasma levels of ketorolac, says the company.
NTM-001 is being evaluated to manage moderately severe acute pain
that requires analgesia at the opioid-level, potentially reducing the
need for opioids.
