About this study

Official title: Use of Topical Lidocaine (Lidoderm 5% Patch) to Reduce Pain in Patients With Diabetic Neuropathy: Does the Density and Subtype of Sodium Channels Affect Response?

The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational drug known as the lidocaine 5% patch is safe and effective in reducing the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, to examine how topical lidocaine affects the nerve endings, and to determine whether treatment with the lidocaine patch can prevent the potential progression to chronic diabetic neuropathy pain in subjects who did not report pain at the start of the study.

Being tested
Skin biopsy, Lidocaine 5% patches

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skin biopsyProcedure or surgery

    Skin biopsy specimens will processed and analyzed for Nerve fiber count, nerve and skin morphology, and sodium channel specific epitope expression in keratinocytes.

  • Lidocaine 5% patchesDrug

    Subject will apply patches to affected area QD for 12 hours then remove.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain Scores From Composite Visual Analog Scale

    Scores range from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating higher levels of pain.

    Measured: baseline, 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Keratinocyte Immunoreactivity of Nav1.6, Nav1.7, CGRP

    Pixel intensity (0-256) of immunofluorescence for each individual biomarker.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Skin biopsy and Lidocaine 5% patches in people with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, run by Albany Medical College at 1 site in United States.

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 13 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 11 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 combined 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.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pain Scores From Composite Visual Analog Scale (time frame: baseline, 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jun 2020.
