These results have important clinical implications as more than 4.2 million people in the US are known to suffer from painful DPN and nearly 1.3 million patients are considered to be refractory, meaning currently available medications do not work for them (Painful Diabetic Neuropathy, GlobalData 2018).

Helixmith launched a second phase 3 trial for DPN, REGAiN-1A (VMDN-003-2), in the US and are targeting release of top line results by the end of 2022. The company is planning to start a third phase 3 for DPN in the second half of 2022.

About Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Painful DPN is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus that has a profound negative impact on quality of life, sleep, and mood. Current therapies are palliative and do not target the mechanisms underlying painful DPN. Moreover, symptomatic relief is often limited, and many patients with painful DPN still use opioids.
