NCT ID NCT07377721
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called HRS-2129 in 168 Chinese adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (nerve pain from diabetes). Participants will receive either HRS-2129, a placebo, or the standard drug pregabalin to see if HRS-2129 reduces pain better than placebo. The trial is early-stage (Phase 1) and focuses on safety and pain relief over 4 weeks.
