Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study in patients with painful wounds, designed to evaluate the analgesic effect of VPX638 applied topically to the wound. Each participant will receive VPX638 or placebo topically, twice on a single study occasion. Analgesic efficacy, tolerability, and safety of VPX638 will be assessed.
Interventions
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study in patients with painful wounds. The study will have three phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase and Follow-Up Phase. The maximum study duration is 14 days. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either VPX638 (100% neat VPX638) or placebo. Study drug (5 mL dose volumes) will be applied topically, twice on a single study occasion. The first dose will be applied to the wound following removal of the dressing. The second dose will be applied approximately 30-60 minutes after the first dose, following wound cleaning and/or debridement. The study is designed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety and tolerability of VPX638 when applied to painful wounds. The analgesic effect on rest pain and on pain during the wound cleansing/debridement procedure (performed 15-30 minutes after the first drug application) will be evaluated.
