Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Have a clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type I or II for at least 12 months prior to the study.
  • Have received a diagnosis of moderate to severe sensorimotor diabetic neuropathy from a neurologist (a doctor who specializes in disorders of the nervous system) or endocrinologist (a doctor who specializes in diabetes). This type of neuropathy is a loss of sensation and muscle function that occurs in the legs and hands in a stocking and glove distribution. Subjects with diabetic neuropathy that results in loss of sensation or muscle function in only one nerve and results in loss of nerve function of the blood vessels and causes low blood pressure, will not be eligible.
  • Unmeasurable nerve conduction velocity in any lower extremity nerve: peroneal, tibial or sural due to diabetic polyneuropathy
  • If female and of childbearing potential, agree to use a medically acceptable physical barrier method during the study.
  • Have blood pressure < 140/90 mm Hg
  • Body mass index (BMI) < 38 kg/m2

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with the following are NOT eligible to participate in this study:
  • Have moderate to severe ischemic heart disease, any history of congestive heart failure, or have had a myocardial infarction (heart attack) within the previous 6 months.
  • Have chronic foot or leg ulcers for >1 month, gangrene in the legs, or any previous amputation of the lower extremity.
  • Have a history of cancer within the past 5 years (except for curable non-melanoma cancer of the skin, superficial bladder cancer in complete remission, or any other cancer that has been in complete remission for at least 5 years).
  • Have colon polyps. If patients have a history of benign colonic polyps that have been removed, they must have evidence of a normal colonoscopy within the last 12 months.
  • Require any drug that depresses patients' immune systems (such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, or cyclosporine) when they receive the study drug and for 30 days afterwards.
  • Have a known disorder that affects patients' immune systems (such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B virus [HBV], hepatitis C virus [HCV], sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or autoimmune disorders).

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Repeat Dosing Clinical Trial of SB-509 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Diabetic Neuropathy and Unmeasurable Nerve Conduction Velocity

The purpose of the study is to study the clinical effects of the investigational drug, SB-509 versus placebo in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Read the detailed description

SB-509 contains the gene (DNA-a kind of biological "blueprint") for a protein. When a researcher injects SB-509 into your legs, the drug enters the muscle and nerve cells around the injection site and causes these cells to make a protein. This protein causes your cells to increase production of another protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which may improve the structure and function of nerves. In addition, there are changes in the levels of 28 additional proteins in your cells. These proteins function to promote the growth of cells, are structures in cells, help synthesize products, and affect immune cells, and some have unknown functions. This increase in your own VEGF proteins may protect and repair the damaged nerves caused by diabetic neuropathy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SB-509 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Sangamo Therapeutics at 20 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 1 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 20 sites in United States, Mexico. 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?

Total Neuropathy Score (TNS),Evoked nerve conduction velocity (NCV), Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST), %of subjects with conversion of unmeasurable to measurable NCV and NIS-LL (time frame: One year). 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 1 Nov 2012.
