Summary

This trial tests a drug to relieve Morton's neuroma pain in people aged 18+ who have tried other treatments. Tests, injections, phone calls & follow-ups will be done.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 in good health with Morton's neuroma, who've tried other pain treatments without relief. They must be willing to follow the study procedures and use effective contraception if of reproductive potential. Excluded are those with allergies to local anesthetics or chili peppers, certain medical conditions, or concurrent investigational drug use.
What is being tested?
The trial tests resiniferatoxin (RTX), a new drug injected into the foot to manage severe pain from Morton's neuroma. Participants will undergo screening, receive RTX treatment, and have follow-up calls and clinic visits to monitor their condition and any changes in their foot pain.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as swelling or infection, allergic responses due to sensitivity to ingredients like capsaicin found in chili peppers, general discomfort or worsening of foot pain temporarily after injection.
