Study Information

LTG-001 is being developed for the treatment of acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) pain. One in five New Zealanders live with persistent pain, making it hard to sleep, work and enjoy life. Current pain therapies are limited and may increase risk of abuse of dependence. There is a large unmet need for new, more effective pain therapies to be available to people who need them.

LTG-001 works by inhibiting (blocking) a certain pathway in the cells which control certain pain sensing neurons. LTG-001 is a non-opioid, non-NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) and non-narcotic based pain-relief. It is hoped that, by blocking this pathway in the cells, LTG-001 may be an effective treatment for acute or chronic pain while reducing the likelihood for abuse and dependence.

This is a first-in-human study, for which we have completed 4 cohort trial groups previously. We are looking for healthy volunteers to support the research.

It is an investigational drug because it has not been approved by MedSafe or other drug regulatory authorities.

This study (2023 FULL 18297) is being funded by Latigo and has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
