Safety and Efficacy of MCC-257 in the Treatment of Diabetic Polyneuropathy
Summary
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
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.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Diabetic Neuropathies
Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1325)
Paraneoplastic Polyneuropathy
A diffuse or multifocal peripheral neuropathy related to the remote effects of a neoplasm, most often carcinoma or lymphoma. Pathologically, there are inflammatory changes in peripheral nerves. The most common clinical presentation is a symmetric distal mixed sensorimotor polyneuropathy. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1334)
Diabetic Foot
Common foot problems in persons with DIABETES MELLITUS, caused by any combination of factors such as DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES; PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES; and INFECTION. With the loss of sensation and poor circulation, injuries and infections often lead to severe foot ulceration, GANGRENE and AMPUTATION.
Therapeutic Misconception
Misunderstanding among individuals, frequently research subjects, of scientific methods such as randomization and placebo controls.
Placebo Effect
An effect usually, but not necessarily, beneficial that is attributable to an expectation that the regimen will have an effect, i.e., the effect is due to the power of suggestion.
