Summary
"This trial aims to test the safety and tolerability of EC5026 in male and female patients with neuropathic pain from spinal cord injury. The main focus is to determine if EC5026 is
Who is the study for?
This trial is for U.S. Veterans aged 18+ with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neuropathic pain lasting over a year. Participants must be in stable health, have no major psychiatric disorders, not use opioids regularly, and agree to contraception if applicable. They should not have significant medical conditions or recent infections, cancer history within 5 years (except nonmetastatic skin cancer), or plans to receive a COVID-19 vaccine during the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests EC5026 against a placebo to see if it's safe and can help manage neuropathic pain from SCI. Patients will take the oral tablet daily for two weeks while undergoing physical exams, ECGs, blood tests, and assessments of their pain levels and overall well-being.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will be monitored for any adverse reactions due to EC5026 compared to those taking the placebo. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal issues or changes in vital signs as typically observed in medication trials.
