Summary

To be eligible for the trial, subjects must have ongoing moderate to severe neuropathic pain related to a prior course of platinum and/or taxane chemotherapy and have no clinical evidence of actively progressive disease.

The trial period will comprise a Screening period (up to 35 Days), randomization and a 4-day treatment period, followed by a 12-week follow up period (12 weeks total after initial treatment), and an End-of-Trial/Follow-up visit which will occur at Week 13. This is a study to research the effects of the study drug on neuropathic pain compared placebo.

Conditions

  • Chemotherapy-induced Neuropathic Pain
  • Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Interventions

DRUG

Tetrodotoxin

TTX for Injection, 30 µg/mL, is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, white, lyophilized powder provided in a 5 mL glass single-use vial with a rubber stopper and aluminum overseal. Upon reconstitution of the lyophilized product with 1.1 mL of sterile water for injection, each vial delivers 1 mL of fluid containing 30 µg of TTX with a pH of 4.0 to 5.5

DRUG

Placebo

Placebo for injection is a sterile 0.9% sodium chloride injection or normal saline for injection. To ensure blinding, subjects receiving placebo will receive the same volume (1.0 mL) for injection to match the volume used for the cohorts assigned to receive active trial drug. Route and frequency: 1.0 mL of placebo, SC injection in the thigh or abdomen, twice daily for 4 Days in each treatment Cycle.
