Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Understanding

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Overview

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, affecting up to half of diabetic patients. It results from nerve damage caused by prolonged exposure to high blood sugar levels. DPN typically affects the peripheral nerves, particularly those in the legs and feet, leading to various sensory, motor, and autonomic disturbances. Signs and symptoms of DPN vary depending on the nerves affected but commonly include tingling, numbness, burning pain, and weakness in the extremities. Patients may also experience sensitivity to touch, muscle cramps, and balance problems. As the condition progresses, it can lead to serious complications such as foot ulcers, infections, and even amputations if left untreated.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is a serious diabetes complication that may affect as many as 50% of people with diabetes. But one can often prevent Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy or slow its progress with consistent blood sugar management and a healthy lifestyle. The primary cause of DPN is prolonged hyperglycemia, which damages the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the nerves. Additionally, metabolic factors such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and the formation of advanced glycation end-products contribute to nerve damage. Genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of developing DPN.

The pathophysiology of DPN involves multiple mechanisms, including microvascular damage, impaired nerve metabolism, and altered ion channel function. These changes disrupt nerve conduction and lead to demyelination and axonal degeneration. Over time, nerve fibers become less able to transmit signals, resulting in the characteristic symptoms of DPN.

Diagnosis of DPN involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and various tests such as nerve conduction studies and quantitative sensory testing. Management focuses on controlling blood sugar levels through lifestyle modifications, medications, and insulin therapy. Symptomatic relief can be achieved with pain medications, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and topical agents. Additionally, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and regular foot care are essential components of DPN management to prevent complications and improve quality of life.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Emerging Drugs

• VM202: Helixmith Co., Ltd.

VM202 (Engensis) is an innovative gene therapy drug that provides fundamental treatment through tissue regeneration. Engensis it is non-viral plasmid DNA product, and is designed to express recombinant HGF protein in nerve and Schwann cells to promote nerve system regeneration and induce the formation of microvascular blood vessels. Engensis (VM202) has the potential to reverse the underlying cause of neuropathy through an angio-neurorestorative effect, not simply managing the pain. US FDA granted RMAT (Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy) designation to VM202-DPN in 2018. This is first time in Korea, and the first and the only RMAT designation worldwide in pain area. Engensis is the first RMAT designated therapy in US of common diseases with over millions of patients. Engensis has been attracting huge attention in Painful DPN because of its big market size. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

• WST-057: WinSanTor, Inc.

WST-057 is a novel investigational drug candidate that has been in development for over ten years. THE aim of the company is to develop the first disease-modifying treatment for peripheral neuropathy that has the potential to prevent and reverse the nerve damage and the symptoms associated with the disease. WST-057, showed the ability to prevent nerve damage and regrow damaged nerves. Phase I and Phase II are now complete. Topical WST-057 was shown to be safe and tolerable when administered to diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients for up to six months in these studies, but will need to be studied in a larger population. WST-057 has received FastTrack designation. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

• CNTX-6016: Centrexion Therapeutics

CNTX-6016 is a novel, potent and highly selective investigational cannabinoid 2 (CB2) agonist currently in Phase 1 clinical trials. There are two distinct cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. A major factor holding back the development of drugs targeting the cannabinoid receptors relates to psychotropic adverse effects from CB1 activation in the central nervous system, or CNS. Whereas adverse CNS effects appear to relate to activation of CB1, published studies support that activation of CB2 receptors results in analgesia without the CB1 psychotropic effects.

In pre-clinical studies CNTX-6016 was shown to be 16,000-fold selective for CB2 over CB1 and conferred analgesia in multiple pre-clinical chronic pain models, with particular activity in models of neuropathic pain. CNTX-6016 is predicted to be well suited for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain, such as diabetic and autoimmune neuropathic pain and chemotherapy induced neuropathy. Currently, the drug is in the Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy Pain.
