Change From Baseline in the Total Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) at Year 5
The NIS assessment is a 244-point composite measure of neurologic impairment which includes a physical exam of lower limbs, upper limbs, and cranial nerves to assess the components: motor strength/weakness (NIS-W), reflexes (NIS-R), and sensation (NIS-S). NIS total score is obtained by combining all the component scores, ranging from 0 to 244. Higher scores represent a greater severity of disease. A positive change from baseline indicates the worsening of neuropathy.
Time frame: Baseline, Year 5
Change From Baseline in the Total Modified NIS (mNIS +7) Composite Score At Year 3
The mNIS+7 is a composite measure of neurologic impairment which includes the following components: physical exam of lower limbs, upper limbs, and cranial nerves to assess motor strength/weakness (192 points), reflexes (20 points), electrophysiologic measurement of small and large nerve fiber function (10 points), sensory testing (80 points), and postural blood pressure (2 points). The total mNIS+7 composite score is obtained by combining all the component scores, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 304 (maximum impairment). A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement in neuropathy.
Time frame: Baseline, Year 3
Change From Baseline in the NIS+7 Total Score at Week 52
The NIS+7 provides additional, objective measures of nerve fibre function and autonomic nerve function in participants with diabetic neuropathy. The NIS+7 includes the full NIS, sum of 5 nerve conduction studies (NCS) (Sural sensory nerve action potential \[SNAP\], tibial motor nerve distal latency, peroneal compound motor action potential \[CMAP\], motor nerve conduction velocity, motor nerve distal latency), vibration detection threshold, and pulse rate response to deep breathing. The total NIS+7 score is obtained by combining all the component scores, ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 270 points (maximum impairment). A positive change from baseline indicates worsening.

Time frame: Baseline, Year 5
Change From Baseline in the NIS+7 Component: NIS-Weakness (NIS-W) Score at Year 5
The NIS+7 provides additional, objective measures of nerve fiber function and autonomic nerve function in participants with diabetic neuropathy. The NIS+7 includes the full NIS (NIS-W, NIS-R, NIS-S), sum of 5 nerve conduction studies (NCS) (Sural SNAP, tibial motor nerve distal latency, peroneal CMAP, motor nerve conduction velocity, motor nerve distal latency), vibration detection threshold, and pulse rate response to deep breathing. NIS-W is a measure of motor strength, comprised of cranial nerve and both upper and lower limb motor assessments. The score ranges from 0 to 192. A higher score indicates greater severity of disease.
