Study Description

New Zealand Clinical Research is trialling an investigational medication that is being developed for the treatment of acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) pain.

Almost 1 in 6 people in New Zealand have reported that they experience chronic pain which affects their quality of life. This medication is being investigated for the first time to evaluate how safe and well tolerated it is, in healthy people.

LTG-305 is designed to work by blocking pathways in the brain that are associated with the sensing of pain.

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

This study (2024 FULL 20202) is being funded by Latigo Biotherapeutics, Inc and has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee.
