E-52862-A selective sigma-1 receptor antagonist, in peripheral neuropathic pain: Two randomized, double-blind, phase 2 studies in patients with chronic postsurgical pain and painful diabetic neuropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We report the efficacy and safety of E-52862-a selective, sigma-1 receptor antagonist-from phase 2, randomized, proof-of-concept studies in patients with moderate-to-severe, neuropathic, chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN).

Methods

Adult patients (CPSP [N = 116]; PDN [N = 163]) were randomized at a 1:1 ratio to 4 weeks of treatment with E-52862 (CPSP [n = 55]; PDN [n = 85]) or placebo (CPSP [n = 61]; PDN [n = 78]) orally once daily. Pain intensity scores were measured using a numerical pain rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). The primary analysis population comprised patients who received study drug with ≥1 baseline and on-treatment observation (full analysis set).

Results

In CPSP, mean baseline av
