Detailed Description
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, phase II clinical trial to evaluate safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and efficacy of SYHA1402 tablets in DPN patients. A total number of 135 patients will be randomized (2:2:1) into three groups. Patients between 18 and 75 years old and diagnosed with a Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy (DSPN) prior to study enrolment will be enrolled. The study consists of 4 stages: a 2-week screening period, a 1-week placebo introduction period, a 16-week randomized double-blind treatment period, and a 2-week post-study follow-up period. The overall planned duration of this study is approximately 21 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (mTCNS)- Sensory Test Score at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the overall score and symptom score of mTCNS changes from baseline at week 16. The mTCNS examines signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy. It consists of a questionnaire which explores the presence of foot pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and loss of sensation leading to ataxia. Secondly, sensory tests will be performed including sensation for pinprick, light touch, temperature, vibration and position sense. The minimum value is 0 meaning the patient does not show any signs or symptoms of polyneuropathy and the maximum value is 33 meaning the patient presents with severe signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in overall score and symptom score of mTCNS at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the overall score and symptom score of mTCNS changes from baseline at week 16. The mTCNS examines signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy. It consists of a questionnaire which explores the presence of foot pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and loss of sensation leading to ataxia. Secondly, sensory tests will be performed including sensation for pinprick, light touch, temperature, vibration and position sense. The minimum value is 0 meaning the patient does not show any signs or symptoms of polyneuropathy and the maximum value is 33 meaning the patient presents with severe signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy.
- Change from baseline in Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (TCNS) at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (TCNS) changes from baseline at week 16. Scales are defined as follows: 0-5 = no neuropathy; 6-8 = mild neuropathy; 9-11 = moderate neuropathy; ≥ 12 = severe neuropathy.
- Change from baseline in Nerve Conduction Velocities (NCVs) and Amplitude at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the Nerve Conduction Velocities (NCVs) and Amplitude changes from baseline at week 16.
- Change from baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) changes from baseline at week 16. Including local pain, limb numbness, paresthesia (e.g. burning sensation, formication, electrical sensation). Participants rated their pain on a 100 millimeter (mm) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 mm = no pain to 100 mm = worst possible pain.
- Change from baseline in the 36-Item Shot-Form Health Survey (SF-36) score at week 16 [From baseline to week 16 post-dose]
To Compare SYHA1402 with placebo, the 36-Item Shot-Form Health Survey (SF-36) score changes from baseline at week 16. The SF-36 quality of life scale is used to monitor change in subject reported functionality, well-being, and overall health status. The score of each part ranges from 0 (worst score) to 100 (best score).
