Brief summary

Investigate the efficacy and safety of DS-5565 in subjects with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP) in comparison to placebo

Detailed description

\[Double Blind Phase\] The primary objective is to compare change in the Average Daily Pain Score(ADPS) from baseline to Week 14 in Asian subjects with DPNP receiving DS-5565 versus placebo. \[Open Extension Phase\] The objective is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of DS-5565 in subjects with DPNP.

Prior to taking the study drug each morning, the participant selected the number that best described his or her pain over the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher ADPS scores indicated worse outcome. ADPS was the weekly average pain score based on the pain scores from the electronic patient diaries (Pain diary). In this outcome, the change from baseline in ADPS is being reported with negative values representing improvements in average daily pain. The larger the negative value (ie. improvement), the greater the improvement in average daily pain.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Visual Analog Scale From Baseline (Week 14) to Week 66 Following Administration of DS-5565 in Participants With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic PainFrom baseline (Week 14) to Week 66Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain is a 10-point assessment tool to measure pain levels, where 0 is defined as 'no pain' and 10 is defined as 'worst possible pain'. Higher VAS pain scores indicate worse outcome. In this outcome, the change from baseline in VAS pain is being reported with negative values representing improvements in pain intensity. The larger the negative value (ie. improvement), the greater the improvement in pain intensity.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

A total of 854 participants who met all inclusion and no exclusion criteria were enrolled; 834 were randomized to treatment in the double-blind phase. Twenty participants were excluded by the sponsor due to a serious Good Clinical Practice violation (inform consent form-related). A total of 214 participants enrolled in the open-label extension.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomized to DS-5565 (15, 20, or 30 mg) or placebo in the double-blind (DB) phase and open-label DS-5565 in the long-term (LT) phase. Patients who complete the DB phase may not enroll in the LT phase. DB phase determine significant difference vs placebo (\ 750 target cases). LT phase confirm long-term safety (\ 180 target cases).

Change in the Average Daily Pain Score (ADPS) From Baseline to Week 14 Following Administration of DS-5565 in Participants With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain

Each participant recorded a pain score in the electronic patient diary once daily from the day after the screening visit (Visit 1) to the end of treatment/early termination visit (Visit 10). Prior to taking the study drug each morning, the participant selected the number that best described his or her pain over the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher ADPS scores indicated worse outcome. ADPS was the weekly average pain score based on the pain scores from the electronic patient diaries (Pain diary). In this outcome, the change from baseline in ADPS is being reported with negative values representing improvements in average daily pain. The larger the negative value (ie. improvement), the greater the improvement in average daily pain.

Time frame: Baseline to Week 14 (post-dose 1 [15 mg QD] and post-dose 2 [20 mg and 30 mg])

Population: ADPS was assessed in the Modified-Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set.

Change in Visual Analog Scale From Baseline (Week 14) to Week 66 Following Administration of DS-5565 in Participants With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain is a 10-point assessment tool to measure pain levels, where 0 is defined as 'no pain' and 10 is defined as 'worst possible pain'. Higher VAS pain scores indicate worse outcome. In this outcome, the change from baseline in VAS pain is being reported with negative values representing improvements in pain intensity. The larger the negative value (ie. improvement), the greater the improvement in pain intensity.

Time frame: From baseline (Week 14) to Week 66

Population: Visual analog scale was assessed in all enrolled participants.
