Who may be able to join

  • Outpatients who have completed double-blind treatment in study 322 (NCT01050218) for DPN. Subjects must have completed all scheduled evaluations, with no major protocol violations and no events that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the subject's entry into the long-term open-label study.

A woman of childbearing potential is one who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant. "Biologically capable" includes women who are using contraceptives or whose sexual partners are either sterile or using contraceptives. Sexually active women participating in the study who are biologically capable of becoming pregnant must use a medically acceptable form of contraception during the study and for at least 15 days after the last dose of test article. Medically acceptable forms of contraception include oral contraceptives, transdermal, injectable, or implantable methods, intrauterine devices, or properly used double-barrier contraception, eg, condom plus diaphragm.

Who cannot join

  • Presence of any new and/or clinically important medical condition that might compromise subject safety (including, but not limited to, significant changes in glycemic control).

  • Use of prohibited treatments.
  • Meets any of the exclusion criteria listed for study 322 (NCT01050218).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Pain Score on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).

    The primary efficacy variable was the pain severity score measured on an 11 point NRS on which 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain. The primary efficacy evaluation was the change from baseline in mean pain score on the NRS.

    Measured: Baseline and 9 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Mean Pain Score on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). (time frame: Baseline and 9 months). 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 NCT01050218, 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.
