About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 24-Week Dose Finding Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of 20mg, 40mg and 80mg of MCC-257 in Patients With Mild to Moderate Diabetic Polyneuropathy

The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three doses of MCC-257 in patients with mild to moderate diabetic polyneuropathy

Read the detailed description

The study will use a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose, parallel-group design. Patients will be randomized equally to 1 of 4 treatment groups: MCC-257 20 mg, MCC-257 40 mg, MCC-257 80 mg, or placebo, given once daily for 24 weeks. The study will consist of 2 periods: 1) a screening period of up to 21 days prior to baseline, including a formal screening visit; and 2) a 24-week treatment period, during which patients will take the study treatment, and have various assessments performed during 4 visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MCC-257 in people with Diabetic Polyneuropathy, run by Tanabe Pharma Corporation.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Nerve Conduction Studies (time frame: Day 1, Week 24). 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 28 Dec 2007.
