Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
This prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase III clinical study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the Test product versus placebo in male and non-pregnant female subjects with clinically diagnosed peripheral sensory polyneuropathy of different etiologies aged 18 to 70 years.
The study will be conducted in 17 sites in Mexico. 318 patients with clinically diagnosed symptoms of peripheral sensory polyneuropathy of different etiologies who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral vitamin B combination daily or matching placebo for 120 days.
The primary and secondary outcome measures will be evaluated at each post-Screening visit. Exploratory outcomes, and safety/tolerability/treatment satisfaction assessments will be evaluated as per schedule of activities.
Approvals were obtained from Local Ethics Committees and from Mexican Regulatory Authority (COFEPRIS).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Neuropathy Total Symptom Score-6 (NTSS-6) [120 days]
The NTSS-6 scale is a validated neuropathy symptoms scale which evaluates the frequency and intensity of 6 neuropathy sensory symptoms in feet and legs such as numbness, prickling sensation, burning/aching/lancinating pain and allodynia.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Quality of Life Questionnaire [120 days]
The Quality of Life Questionnaire is a reliable, and valid measure of physical and mental health.
- modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (mTCNS) sensory test subscores [120 days]
The mTCNS is a reliable clinical score with high validity for tracking mild to moderate distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) and is sensitive to early DSP changes.
- B vitamins blood levels [120 days]
Assess the effect of the Test Product on concentrations of vitamins B1, B6, and B12
- Safety Data [120 days]
Safety of Vitamin B combination tablet in patients with peripheral sensory polyneuropathy in the feet comparing the incidence of adverse and serious adverse events, and the incidence of clinically significant laboratory values to Placebo Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) Incidence of clinically significant laboratory values
