Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Conditions
Brief summary
To investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV2197944 75 mg tid on the pain experienced in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) as measured by changes in PI-NRS after three weeks of treatment compared to the baseline period.
Detailed description
A 3 week randomised crossover study to investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV2197944 75 mg tid versus placebo for on the pain experienced in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Each 3 week treatment period is seperated by a 2 week washout period. The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline in the PI-NRS after three weeks of treatment. Secondary outcome measures include pain responder rates, clinical and patient global impressions of pain, and the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory.
