Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of BL-1021 in healthy volunteers. Subsequent clinical studies will be designed to test the safety and efficacy of BL-1021 in patients with neuropathic pain based on data obtained from the proposal trial described below.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
