Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of EC5026 in male and female patients with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is whether EC5026 is safe and well tolerated in SCI patients with neuropathic pain. In addition, this trial will also study the effects of EC5026 on pain. Researchers will compare EC5026 to placebo. Participants will be asked to: * Take EC5026 or placebo in a masked fashion, once daily, for 14 consecutive days. * Undergo physical exams, vital signs assessments, ECGs, and blood draws * Complete assessments of pain, sleep, functional status, and perception of change
