Conditions

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain

Brief summary

To evaluate the efficacy of NYX-2925 versus placebo in treating the neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of NYX-2925 in subjects with neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The study will be a 13- to 16-week study, including a 1- to 4-week Screening Period, followed by a 12- week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Treatment Period.

Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain Intensity Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ScoreWeek 12Change from baseline in the weekly mean of the daily Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score assessing average pain intensity related to DPN in the past 24 hours. In the NRS, a participant selects a whole number (0 to 10) that best indicates the intensity of his/her pain, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents worst pain imaginable.

The DSIS asks participants to ''Select the number that best describes how much your pain has interfered with your sleep during the past 24 hours.'' Response options for the DSIS range from 0 (did not interfere with sleep) to 10 (completely interfered with sleep/unable to sleep due to pain).
