New pill aims to ease burning nerve pain in diabetes

NCT ID NCT07159243

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests an experimental oral drug called HL-1186 for diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain—a common, painful nerve condition caused by diabetes. About 180 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes will receive either HL-1186 or a placebo for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces daily pain scores more than placebo.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a new oral medication to reduce nerve pain in people with diabetes.
