I want to locate a United States-based
pharmaceutical company (s) that is working on developing a topical (i.e, gel,
cream, ointment type) preparation for pain relief containing a
non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (referred to as NSAID's). Typical
NSAID drugs are diclofenac, ketoprofen, piroxicam, etc. I have heard
that there is at least one such company whose product is currently
undergoing Phase II clinical trials in the USA. Can you locate this
company (or any others) for me? Please note that I am only interested
in a gel cream, ointment, etc preparation as I already know of
companies developing a transdermal patch in the USA and this type of
product does NOT interest me.

Since most drug development requires clinical trials, you can do a
search on www.clinicaltrials.gov.

You might find something like this, for example:
