Official title: A Randomised, Double Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the p38 Kinase Inhibitor, GW856553, in Subjects With Neuropathic Pain From Lumbosacral Radiculopathy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. After enrolment and initial assessments, subjects will receive 35 days of study medication. During this treatment period, they will be randomised to either oral GW856553 7.5mg BID or matching placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Sufficient numbers of subjects will be recruited to obtain 128 evaluable subjects.

This is a multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study in subjects who have at least moderate intensity of neuropathic pain resulting from lumbosacral radiculipathy. It will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GW856553.

Approximately 142 subjects will be randomised to ensure 128 evaluable subjects. Randomisation ratio will be 1:1 for placebo or GW856553 respectively. The dose of GW856553 will be 7.5 mg BID. ;
