We need to identify a CRO (worldwide) capable of conducting an exploratory study to confirm literature reports and to provide preliminary data for a grant application. The study will use a rat formalin pain model with a single compound, single dose, administered orally & compared with vehicle & positive controls (gabapentin). If you are able to perform this study we would like suggestions on experimental group size & also details of your experimental design, facilities, quantification methods, costs and timeline. The study would be started mid September.
