A Phase 3 interventional study of Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride Tablets and Placebo in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and Paresthesia, sponsored by Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.. Completed at 34 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-08.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride Tablets compared with placebo after 24 weeks, in chinese patients with paresthesia caused by Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).
This 24-week, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride Tablets in Chinese patients with paresthesia caused by DPN.The trial included a 2-week screening period, a 1-week placebo run-in period, a 24-week randomized treatment period, and a 2-week follow-up period.
66 studies on the registry are indexed under Paresthesia; 14 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 516 is above the median of 48 across 52 interventional studies indexed under Paresthesia.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
