Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this 6-month extension study (VMDN-003-2b) is to evaluate the durability of efficacy and long-term safety of intramuscular administration of Engensis or Placebo that was administered in the double-blind, randomized, VMDN-003-2 Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study. No treatments will be administered in this VMDN-003-2b extension study. The combined overall duration of the VMDN-003-2 and VMDN-003-2b studies will be 12 months.

Participants will be enrolled in the VMDN-003-2b study at completion of the Day 180 Visit of Study VMDN-003-2. Participants will continue to be identified by the same Participant number and the same treatment group (Engensis or Placebo) assigned by randomization in Study VMDN-003-2. No study drug or treatment will be administered in this VMDN-003-2b extension study. The double-blind treatment assignment from the prior study will be maintained for Investigators and Participants during this extension study.

This extension study will assess the durability of efficacy and long-term safety of Engensis compared to Placebo as measured by changes in Average Daily Pain Score of the full Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, Bedside sensory testing, physical examinations, laboratory assessments, vital signs, treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment-emergent serious adverse events, and adverse events of special interest.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Evaluate the Efficacy of Intramuscular Administration of Engensis on Reducing Pain in Participants With Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in the Feet and Lower Legs as Compared to Placebo
Time Frame: From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2, NCT04469270), Day 270, to the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit in the intent-to-treat population

Change in the means of the Average Daily Pain Scores from the full Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy from the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit in the intent-to-treat population. The mean of the Average Daily Pain Scores are used for the primary endpoint recorded in the 7 days prior to the Days 270 and 365/ET Visits. The Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy scale is a 0 to 10 point scale with 10 being Pain as bad as you can imagine.

The mean of at least 5 daily pain scores recorded for Question 5 of the Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy scale in electronic diary during the 7 days prior to the visits on Days 270 and 365/Early termination. The greater the negative difference between the followup visit and the Day 0 Baseline for each group for the average daily pain score in participants, would indicate that the average daily pain is declining.
From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2, NCT04469270), Day 270, to the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit in the intent-to-treat population

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Evaluate the Efficacy of IM Administration of Engensis on the Worst Pain in Participants With Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in the Feet and Lower Legs as Compared to Placebo
Time Frame: From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit for Engensis compared to Placebo

Change in the means of the Worst Pain Scores from the full Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy from the 7 days prior to Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2), to Day 270, and 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit for Engensis compared to Placebo. The Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy scale is a 0 to 10 point scale with 10 being Pain as bad as you can imagine.

The mean of at least 5 worst daily pain scores recorded for Question 3 of the Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in the electronic diary during the 7 days prior to the Visits on Days 270 and 365/Early termination. The greater the negative difference between the followup visit and the Day 0 Baseline for each group for the worst pain score in participants, would indicate that the worst pain is declining.
From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit for Engensis compared to Placebo
To Evaluate the Safety of IM Administration of Engensis in the Number of Participants With Painful DPN in the Feet and Lower Legs as Compared to Placebo
Time Frame: From Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the Day 365 Visit
Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events for Engensis compared to Placebo, including the number of participants with clinically significant laboratory values for Engensis compared to Placebo
From Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the Day 365 Visit
To Evaluate the Efficacy of Administration of Engensis on Reducing Pain in Participants With Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in the Feet and Lower Legs
Time Frame: From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2), to the 7 days prior to the Day 270 Visit, and 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit
Proportion of Responders (≥ 50% reduction in the Average Daily Pain Scores from the full Brief Pain Inventory for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy) from the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2) to the 7 days prior to the Day 270 Visit and the 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit for Engensis compared to Placebo.
From the 7 days prior to the Day 0 Visit (Study VMDN-003-2), to the 7 days prior to the Day 270 Visit, and 7 days prior to the Day 365 Visit
