Summary

This trial studies an experimental drug to help manage chronic pain caused by diabetes in adults. The primary goal is to assess its effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with Type I or II diabetes and chronic pain from Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP) can join this study. They should have a BMI of 18-40 kg/m^2, experience consistent pain intensity, and be able to consent. Those with cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal issues or other causes of neuropathy are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing GSK3858279's effectiveness in managing DPNP against a placebo. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who gets the real drug versus the placebo until after results are collected.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for GSK3858279 aren't listed here, common ones for new drugs may include allergic reactions, potential organ inflammation due to immune response changes, fatigue, digestive discomforts like nausea or diarrhea.
