Study To Assess Changes In The Number Of Nerves In The Skin At The Site Where Where Tanezumab Is Injected

April 22, 2011 updated by: Pfizer

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double- Blind (Sponsor-Open), Placebo-Controlled Study To Examine The Density Of Intraepidermal Nerve Fibers After A Single Subcutaneous Administration Of Tanezumab In Healthy Volunteers

Subcutaneous administration of tanezumab can result in changes in the number of nerves around the injection site in the thigh.
