Tanezumab (RN-624) is a humanized anti-NGF mAb with high affinity and specificity. Tanezumab blocks NGF binding to its receptors, p75 and TrkA, in the peripheral nervous system. Tanezumab can be used in studies of acute and chronic pain such as osteoarthritis, knee and neuralgia, as well as post-herpetic neuralgia[1][2].
