eptive and neuropathic pain models, including a capsaicin-induced pain model. In December 2008, TorreyPines announced that NGX426 demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia (abnormally increased pain state) and allodynia (pain resulting from normally non-painful stimuli to the skin) compared to placebo following intradermal injections of capsaicin in a human experimental model of cutaneous pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia.
In order to pursue the Phase II clinical development of NGX426, TorreyPines intends to explore financing and strategic alternatives, including a possible project financing, equity financing, partnership, asset out-licensing or sale of the company.
