Safety and Efficacy Study of ADL5859 in Participants With Neuropathic Pain Associated With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Peripheral Neuropathy, Neuropathic Pain

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving the pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with placebo and duloxetine (a marketed drug approved for the treatment of painful DPN). The pain symptoms of DPN are thought to be due to damage to nerves caused by the diabetes.
