Discovery of an activity modulating humanized antibody towards a voltage-gated sodium channel for the therapy of chronic severe pain

Abstract (German)

The aim of this project is the discovery of a novel and innovative product for the treatment of chronic severe pain. The anticipated product candidate will specifically block pain sensation without the oftentimes treatment limiting adverse effects of currently marketed products. To achieve this, a breakthrough antibody discovery technology shall be applied. Methods developed in this first part of the project shall be synergistically used for the discovery of a second antibody specifically targeting breast cancer metastasis.
