Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficiency of pain relief and the safety of NPC-06 for the neuropathic pain associated with cancer, in addition to explore the effective concentration of NPC-06.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The eligible patients will be randomized into three groups, and will receive NPC-06 (high dose), NPC-06 (low dose) or placebo once a day for 7 days.
