What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline to Week 8 in Average Daily Pain Score (ADPS)
ADPS is based on the 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) [0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)].
Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change from Baseline to Week 8 in Burning Pain
Burning pain is based on the 11-point NRS (0 [no burning] to 10 [worst burning imaginable]).
Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Change from Baseline to Week 8 in Pain Interference on Sleep
Pain interference on sleep is based on the 11-point NRS (0 [does not interfere] to 10 [completely interferes]).
Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score at Week 8
The PGIC is a 7-point rating scale that assesses a participant's belief about the overall improvement experienced by the participant where 1=very much improved and 7=very much worse.
Measured: Week 8
Change from Baseline to Week 8 in Total Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Score
NPSI total score is based on 5 subscales evaluating different symptoms of neuropathic pain, each evaluated on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing LX9211 (blinded) in people with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain, run by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals at 108 sites 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 10 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 108 sites 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. 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?
Change from Baseline to Week 8 in Average Daily Pain Score (ADPS) (time frame: Baseline, Week 8). 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 10 Oct 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
