Join a Clinical Trial

Before new therapies become available to the general public, they are tested in carefully controlled studies to see how well they work. By participating in clinical trials you may help others living with neuropathic pain gain access to new treatment options. If you have postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) or painful HIV-associated distal sensory polyneuropathy (HIV-DSP), you might be eligible to participate in a clinical trial of our most advanced product candidate, NGX-4010.

The active ingredient in NGX-4010 is trans-capsaicin, a pure synthetic form of capsaicin. By applying high-concentration trans-capsaicin directly to the site of pain (following the application of an anesthetic cream) this investigational product may deliver up to three months of relief from only a one-hour application.
