The Nutritional Benefits of Metanx in Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (MEDIAN) (MEDIAN)
January 15, 2016 updated by: Pamlab, Inc.
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess the Safety and Nutritional Benefits of Metanx® in Subjects With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
The objectives of the MEDIAN study are to evaluate the short-term and long-term safety and nutritional benefits of Metanx® versus placebo in subjects with mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
Short-term effects will be evaluated during the first 16 weeks of treatment, and long-term effects will be evaluated over the duration of a 48 week treatment period.
