NCT ID NCT07262268

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether BHV-7000 can reduce chronic pain in people with inherited erythromelalgia, a rare condition causing severe burning pain due to a genetic mutation. Only 5 adults with a specific NaV1.7 mutation will participate, comparing the drug to a placebo in a crossover design. The main goal is to see if daily pain scores improve.
