Title: A 10-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pregabalin (150 mg - 600 mg/Day) Using a Flexible, Optimized Dose Schedule in Subjects With Peripheral Neuropathic Pain
Brief Summary: To evaluate the efficacy of pregabalin, using a flexible, optimized dose schedule with dose adjustment based on Daily Pain Rating Scale (DPRS), compared to placebo in subjects with peripheral neuropathic pain.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient has moderate to severe nerve pain due to one of the following conditions: Postherpetic neuralgia, Painful diabetic neuropathy, Small fiber neuropathy or idiopathic distal sensory polyneuropathy
* Patient is able to complete questionnaires in either English or Spanish
* Patient is at least 18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patient is either pregnant or breastfeeding
* Patient has a history of angioedema (swelling beneath the skin surface) or peripheral edema (foot, leg, and/or ankle swelling)
* Patient has a history of congestive heart failure
* Patient has a seizure disorder
* Patient has a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse within the past 1 year
* Patient failed treatment due to lack of pain relief with more than three drugs for nerve pain
* Patient has had cancer (except basal cell carcinoma) within the past two years
* Patient anticipates the need for surgery while participating in the study
* Patient has a reported history of hepatitis B, C, or HIV infection
* Patient has another type of pain that is more painful than the nerve pain
* Patient has generalized anxiety disorder, untreated depression, psychosis, or post-traumatic stress disorder
* Patient is involved in litigation or receives worker's compensation related to nerve pain
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Chinese outpatient of age 18 to 75
* At screening and baseline, a score of greater than 40 mm on the visual log scale of SF-MPQ

Exclusion Criteria:

* Neurologic disorders unrelated to neuropathic pain, which in the opinion of the investigator, might impair the assessment of pain
* Serum creatinine clearance greater than 60 ml/min
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of peripheral neuropathic pain syndrome, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), or post-traumatic neuropathic pain (including post-surgical), confirmed by a qualified pain specialist.
* Subjects must have completed at least 4 daily pain diaries during the 7 days prior to Visit 2 and have an average pain score of ≥4 over the 7 days prior to Visit 2 (randomization).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Neurologic disorders unrelated to DPN, PHN, or post-traumatic neuropathic pain (including post-surgical), that may confuse or confound the assessment of neuropathic pain.
* Presence of any severe pain associated with conditions other than DPN, PHN, or post-traumatic neuropathic pain (including post-surgical) that may confound the assessment or self evaluation of the pain due to DPN, PHN, or post-traumatic neuropathic pain (including post-surgical).
* Creatinine clearance \< 30 mL/min (estimated from serum creatinine, body weight, age, and sex using the Cockcroft and Gault equation in Appendix E). Maximum dose for subjects with creatinine clearance of 30 to 60 mL/min is 300 mg/day
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age \> 18 years of age
2. Able to give informed consent and willing to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures
3. Type 1 or type 2 diabetes with a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤ 10% at Screening and on a stable antidiabetic medication regimen for at least 30 days prior to Screening (insulin therapy is acceptable)
4. Painful distal symmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy (as per American Society of Pain Educators guidelines ) diagnosed for at least 6 months, based on neurological history and/or examination; diagnosis includes absent or reduced deep tendon reflexes at both ankles
5. At Screening, a pain score of ≥ 40 mm on the SF-MPQ VAS
6. At Randomization, a pain score of ≥ 40 mm on the SF-MPQ VAS and an ADPS of ≥ 4 on the 11-point NRS, the latter calculated from a minimum of 4 pain ratings in daily diaries obtained during the 1-week Baseline Period (prior to randomization)
7. Creatinine clearance \> 60 mL/min (estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation)
8. Antidiabetic and other medications anticipated to remain stable and constant during the study period
9. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must be using an adequate method of contraception as detailed in the protocol to avoid pregnancy during the study and for 4 weeks after study completion

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Diagnosis of mononeuropathy
2. Use of concomitant medications that may confound assessments of efficacy and/or safety (see Section 5.2)
3. Major psychiatric disorders
4. Have had a malignancy other than basal cell carcinoma within the past 2 years
5. At Visit 1, have a white blood cell count \< 2500/mm3, neutrophil count \< 1500/mm3, or platelet count \< 100 x 103/mm3
6. Clinically significant unstable diabetes mellitus, unstable hepatic, respiratory, or hematologic illness, unstable cardiovascular disease (including myocardial infarction in the 3 months prior to Visit 1), or symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
7. Clinically significant findings on the Screening ECG
8. History of pernicious anemia, untreated hypothyroidism, chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B within the past 3 months, or human immunodeficiency virus infection
9. Amputations of body parts other than toes
10. Prior therapeutic failure of pregabalin or gabapentin (considered unresponsive or intolerant to treatment); therapeutic failure implies lack of efficacy following full titration to effective doses (eg, 300 mg/day for pregabalin)
11. Known hypersensitivity to pregabalin or gabapentin
12. Requirement for concomitant anticonvulsant and antidepressant therapy, with the exception of stable doses of SSRIs
13. Neurologic disorders unrelated to DPN that may confound the assessment of pain associated with DPN
14. Skin conditions that could alter sensation
15. Other sources of pain that may confound assessment or self-evaluation of the pain due to DPN
16. Abuse of prescription medications, street drugs or alcohol (including alcohol dependence) within the last 1 year
17. Current enrollment in another investigational study, participation in another investigational study with the past 30 days, or other current or recent use of any investigational drug
18. Pregnancy (as based on lab test results) or breast feeding
19. Laboratory values exceeding limits listed in Table 4.1 of the protocol
