Diabetic neuropathy is a major complication affecting individuals with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with nearly half of all patients experiencing it during their lifetime. Among these patients, approximately 25-30% suffer from DPNP, characterized by burning, tingling, numbness and other symptoms. These symptoms can significantly diminish quality of life, leading to challenges in daily functioning and well-being. Timely diagnosis and effective management of DPNP remain crucial to alleviating the burden on affected individuals.

About Pilavapadin

Discovered using Lexicon’s unique approach to gene science, pilavapadin is a potent, once-daily, orally delivered, selective, investigational small molecule inhibitor of AAK1, a novel target for neuropathic pain which inhibits reuptake and recycling of neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling without affecting opiate pathways. Lexicon identified AAK1 in its target discovery efforts as a promising approach for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Preclinical studies of pilavapadin demonstrated central nervous system penetration and reduction in pain behavior in models of neuropathic pain without affecting opiate pathways.

Pilavapadin has received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for development in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP).
