Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess potential effects of V113741 on the area of secondary hyperalgesia after intradermal capsaicin administration using punctuate stimulation;Secondary Objective: To assess potential effects of V113741 on the area of allodynia after intradermal capsaicin administration using a standardized brush To assess the effect of the positive comparator morphine on the pain measure described To determine potential CNS effects of V113741 by pupillometry To assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of V113741 ;Primary end point(s): Pharmacodynamics: The area of secondary hyperalgesia using Von Frey monofilament and allodynia using a brush will be measured. VAS will be assessed after capsaicin administration. Pharmacokinetics: V113741 concentrations in plasma will be determined; pharmacokinetic parameters of V113741 will be calculated. Safety: Safety will be monitored by assessing AEs, vital signs, SpO2, telemetry, pupillometry.
