Who may be able to join

  • Subject has clinically diagnosed pain attributed to diabetic distal sensory motor polyneuropathy for 1-5 years and a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (Type I or Type II).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of SPM 927 in reducing pain in subjects with diabetic distal sensory polyneuropathy

    Measured: Assessments throughout the trial, either daily and/or at clinic visits

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Different qualities of neuropathic pain, sleep and activity (daily assessment during entire trial participation)

    Measured: Daily assessment during entire trial participation including visits at the site

  2. Quality of Life and the Profile of Mood States (assessment at site visits during entire trial participation)

    Measured: Daily assessment during entire trial participation including visits at the site

  3. Investigate the tolerability and safety of SPM927 (assessment during entire trial participation)

    Measured: Daily assessment during entire trial participation including visits at the site

  4. Examine the pharmacokinetics of SPM927 (assessment at all site visits during entire trial participation)

    Measured: Daily assessment during entire trial participation including visits at the site

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SPM927/Lacosamide in people with Painful Diabetic Neuropathy, run by UCB Pharma.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of SPM 927 in reducing pain in subjects with diabetic distal sensory polyneuropathy (time frame: Assessments throughout the trial, either daily and/or at clinic visits). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00861445, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2014.
