A Phase II, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Impact of NP2 in Subjects With Intractable Pain Due to Malignancy
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of intradermal delivery of NP2 on pain
scores and pain medication usage in subjects with intractable pain due to malignant disease.
A second purpose is to confirm safety and secondary efficacy measurements.
scores and pain medication usage in subjects with intractable pain due to malignant disease.
A second purpose is to confirm safety and secondary efficacy measurements.
Chronic severe pain remains a significant unmet medical need in patients that have
progressive cancer. Existing treatments have limited efficacy and also suffer significant
side effects. This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical
trial designed to evaluate the impact of intradermal injection of NP2 in subjects who have
intractable pain due to malignant disease. NP2 is a gene transfer vector engineered to
express human preproenkephalin, a gene naturally involved in pain control. Delivery of NP2
directly to the site of pain caused by cancer is intended to provide increased Enkephalin
peptides, which bind to opioid receptors, that may allow better pain control.
