Brief Summary:
This is a randomized, double-blind, 2-arm, parallel group study of up to 274 evaluable patients designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor ricolinostat for painful DPN.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Drug: ricolinostat Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study includes an approximately 12 week randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Treatment period in which patients will receive either ricolinostat or placebo, followed by an approximately 12 week open label Safety Extension period during which all patients will receive ricolinostat 120 mg daily.

Prior to randomization, patients will be enrolled in a baseline Pain Observation period from Day -14 to Day -1, during which the NRS (average and worst pain) will be recorded daily using an electronic daily diary that will be completed by patients to allow patients to familiarize themselves with the pain rating procedures, and to establish a baseline and confirm eligibility to participate. Patients will also initiate daily dosing during this time to evaluate compliance eligibility for participation. A daily diary will be used by the patient to record the pain assessments and rescue medication use. A follow-up phone contact will be conducted at Day -7 to Day -5 to review diary and dosing compliance.

Following the baseline Pain Observation period, patients who meet entry criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ricolinostat or placebo. During the 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled Treatment period, patients will return for assessments in accordance with the schedule of assessments. At the conclusion of the approximately 12 week open label Safety Extension period, patients will enter a Follow-up safety washout and assessment period, which will incorporate 2 visits at approximately 2 and 4 weeks following the final Safety Extension visit, with assessments performed as outlined in the schedule of assessments.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: ricolinostat
Ricolinostat 120 mg, taken once daily (QD) by mouth; each dose in 12 mL liquid formulation (10 mg ricolinostat per mL)
Drug: ricolinostat
120 mg per dose in 12 mL liquid formulation
Other Name: ACY-1215

Placebo Comparator: placebo
Placebo, 12 mL of liquid formulation with no active ingredient (i.e., ricolinostat), taken once daily (QD) by mouth
Drug: Placebo
12 mL liquid formulation placebo




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Mean Average Pain Intensity (NRS) [ Time Frame: Baseline week [Day-7 to Day 1] compared to Final week [12 Weeks] ]
    Difference between mean average pain intensity using the 11-point numerical pain rating scale (NRS) consisting of pain measurement from 0-10 with 10 being the worst pain and 0 being no pain at all.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Non-pain Neuropathic Signs (UENS) [ Time Frame: Baseline week [Day-7 to Day 1] compared to Week 12 ]
    Change in non-pain neuropathic signs utilizing the Utah Early Neuropathy Score (UENS) which is a physical examination-based scale designed to assess early sensory predominant polyneuropathy. Compared with other scales, the UENS emphasizes severity and spatial distribution of pin (sharp) sensation loss in the foot and leg and focuses less on motor weakness. The UENS utilizes a numeric scale from 0-42, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
