E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | 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.
