NCT01873404

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of Intravenous (IV) BG00010 (Neublastin) in improving pain in painful lumbar radiculopathy participants when administered 3 times per week for 1 week. The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are as follows: To explore the duration of the effect of BG00010 in improving pain; To explore the dose response curve on pain reduction; To assess the safety and tolerability of BG00010; To assess the serum exposure to BG00010.
