    AbstractMost previous transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) antagonist programs have been put on hold, mainly because of on-target adverse events: hyperthermia and impaired noxious heat sensation. NEO6860 is a TRPV1 antagonist, blocking capsaicin activation of the target, with little or no effect against pH or heat activation. The hypothesis is that this pharmacological profile will translate into analgesia without undesired effects on the body temperature or heat-pain threshold. This phase I, double blind, placebo controlled, ascending dose study, included 64 subjects. Pharmacodynamics (intradermal capsaicin test) was explored. The study was comprised of 6 dose levels (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,200 mg) and 2 doses of 500 mg, 12 hours apart. NEO6860 was rapidly absorbed and systemic exposure increases were less than dose proportional. Median time of maximum observed plasma concentration values ranged from 2 to 3 hours. The mean apparent plasma terminal elimination half-life was between 4 and 8 hours. No significant food-effect or gender-effect was observed. The most frequently reported events were feeling hot, headache, paresthesia, nausea, and dizziness. Single oral doses of up to 800 mg and two 500-mg doses administered 12 hours apart of NEO6860 were well tolerated in this study. Unlike other TRPV1 antagonists, no clinically significant increase in temperature or heat pain threshold/tolerance was noted despite thorough and specific monitoring of these parameters. At all doses, most subjects reported a sensation of "feeling hot," with a rapid onset and transient. NEO6860 showed an improvement in the pharmacodynamics parameters (evoked pain and secondary hyperalgesia) at 3 and 8 hours post NEO6860 dosing.Copyright © 2017 American Pain Society.
