This Phase 2 study assesses the safety and efficacy of a single injection of Resiniferatoxin versus placebo for the treatment of intractable advanced cancer pain.
This is a global multicenter, randomized Phase 2 study for subjects with advanced cancer experiencing intractable pain to assess the safety and efficacy of a single epidural injection of Resiniferatoxin versus vehicle control. Additional subjects who elect to not enroll but are willing to be followed will comprise a Concurrent Control Group. Subjects will be followed for twelve months.

Assess the incidence of any treatment-emergent adverse events of epidural Resiniferatoxin (RTX) [safety and tolerability]
To assess the safety of epidural RTX including incidence and severity of any short-term and long-term treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria
Time frame: Baseline through study completion at up to approximately 12 months
Assess efficacy of RTX on pain associated with advanced cancer
To assess efficacy of each epidural RTX dose in comparison to control groups on the subject's intractable pain due to advanced cancer using the Brief Pain Inventory, Short Form (BPI-SF) score (1-10, with 10 associated with worse pain)
Time frame: Baseline through study completion at up to approximately 12 months
Assess RTX effect on quality of life
To assess the efficacy of each epidural RTX dose in comparison to control groups on the quality of life using Treatment Helpfulness Questionnaire score (graded 1-7, with 7 being most helpful)
Time frame: Baseline through study completion at up to approximately 12 months
Assess RTX effect on opioid consumption
To assess the effect of each epidural RTX dose on opioid consumption, measuring the average reduction compared to baseline of daily opioid consumption, calculated as an oral morphine equivalent dose
Time frame: Baseline through study completion at up to approximately 12 months
