A Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamic Effects of CT327 on Intra-dermal Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Evoked Pain Responses, in Healthy Male Volunteers
A Phase I, Single-centre, Multiple-dose, Placebo-controlled Crossover Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamic Effects of CT327 (0.1% Topical Cream) on Intra-dermal Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Evoked Pain Responses, in Healthy Male Volunteers

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of CT327 to placebo against experimental induced superficial, deep and hyperalgesic pain.

The secondary objectives are to elucidate the mechanisms of CT327 using experimental pain models.

Phase 1
Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Neuropathic Pain
Drug: CT327 (or placebo) followed by placebo (or CT327)

During treatment/testing period 1, subjects will apply 0.25 g CT327 (or placebo) to 4 test fields of skin (2 on their arms and 2 on their legs) twice daily, 12 hours apart for a total of 7 applications.

During treatment/testing period 2, subjects will apply 0.25 g placebo (or CT327) to 4 different test fields of skin (2 on their arms and 2 on their legs) twice daily, 12 hours apart for a total of 7 applications.

  • Experimental: CT327 treatment period 1
    Subjects in Group 1 will receive CT327 during treatment/testing period 1 and placebo during treatment/testing period 2
    Intervention: Drug: CT327 (or placebo) followed by placebo (or CT327)
  • Experimental: CT327 treatment period 2
    Subjects in Group 2 will receive placebo during treatment/testing period 1 and CT327 during treatment/testing period 2
    Intervention: Drug: CT327 (or placebo) followed by placebo (or CT327)
