About this study

Official title: A Phase II, 4 Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Placebo Controlled Proof of Concept Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of GRC 17536 in Patients With Painful Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) represents a diffuse symmetric and length-dependent injury to peripheral nerves that has major implications on quality of life (QOL), morbidity, and costs from a public health perspective. Painful diabetic neuropathy affects 16% of patients with diabetes. Pharmacological agents used in the management of painful DPN mainly include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, opioids, and anti epileptic drugs. However, only two drugs (duloxetine and pregabalin) have been formally approved by the EMEA and the US FDA for the treatment of painful DPN. Generally, the available treatment options do not give total relief, are not effective in all patients, and only about one-third of patients may achieve more than 50% pain relief. Hence newer therapies are required for the treatment of DPN.

This is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. The study will include patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus with history of pain attributed to DPN for least 6 months and no greater than 5 years.

Patients will be recruited after providing written informed consent.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GRC 17536 (Medium Dose) and GRC 17536 (Low Dose) in people with Painful Diabetic Neuropathy, run by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd. India at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, United Kingdom. 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Mean 24-hour average pain intensity (API) score (time frame: 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 12 Nov 2012.
