Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with documented diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain for ≥3 months, baseline VAS 40–90 mm, HbA1c ≤9%, and stable antidiabetic therapy are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with non‑diabetic neuropathy, significant liver or kidney dysfunction, prolonged QTc, severe allergies, or prior failure of high‑dose pregabalin/gabapentin are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional study in China testing HRS-2129 tablets versus placebo with pregabalin and matching placebos included in the design. Adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain for at least 3 months, HbA1c ≤ 9%, and baseline VAS pain of 40–90 mm are eligible. Participants will receive study medications and be monitored for safety, tolerability, and changes in pain scores. Study procedures include regular pain assessments, laboratory tests, and ECGs at two hospital sites in Beijing and Chongqing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, HRS-2129 could provide a new oral treatment option to reduce neuropathic pain for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
How similar studies have gone: Approved drugs such as pregabalin and gabapentin have demonstrated effectiveness for diabetic neuropathic pain, while HRS-2129 is an investigational compound without published large-scale efficacy data.

At Screening, pain scale (Visual Analog Scale, VAS) of ≥ 40 mm and \< 90 mm. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with a history of severe allergies. 2. Peripheral neuropathy or pain unrelated to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) that may confuse the assessment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP). 3. Subjects with abnormal liver and renal function. 4. Corrected QT Interval (QTc): \> 450 ms (male), \> 470 ms (female). 5.
