Tanezumab (INN, codenamed RN624) is a monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor. It was developed by Pfizer as a treatment for pain.[1]

In 2009 there was a Phase III trial for knee pain due to osteoarthritis.[2] Another phase III trial for hip pain in OA [3] was halted in June 2010 when some patients needed hip replacement.[4]

Tanezumab is undergoing Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of various pain entities, including chronic low back pain, bone cancer pain, and interstitial cystitis.[5]
