- Stable glycemic control for 3 months defined as <25% change of routine insulin, <50% change of routine oral anti-diabetic agent dose and HbA1c < 8%. (HbA1c of 8 to 11% eligible if attempts to improve diabetic control failed)
- DPN defined by:
- Bilateral reduced or absent reflexes at the ankles, or
- Bilateral impaired vibration, pinprick, fine touch or temperature perception in the distal lower extremities And
- Persistent distal burning or dull pain in the feet, or
- Persistent proximal aching pain in the legs, or
- Paroxysmal electric, shooting, stabbing pain, or
- Dysasthesias, or
- Evoked pain And
- history of pain for at least six months and no greater than five years attributed to DPN (refers to duration of pain)
- Baseline 24-hour average daily pain intensity score >4.0 as measured on an 11 point pain intensity numerical rating scale
- Provides written informed consent in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements Exclusion criteria:
- Other chronic pain conditions not associated with DPN. However, the subject will not be excluded if:
- The pain condition is located at a different region of the body, and
- The pain intensity of this condition is not greater than the pain intensity of the DPN, and
- The subject can assess their DPN independently of other pain condition.
- Other causes of neuropathy or lower extremity pain
- Is unable to discontinue prohibited medications or non-drug therapies or procedures throughout the duration of the study
- Hepatic impairment defined as ALT or AST > 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) or alkaline phosphatase or bilirubin > 1.5x ULN

- Medical condition or disorder that would interfere with the action, absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of GEn or pregabalin, or, in the investigator's judgment:
- Is considered to be clinically significant and could pose a safety concern or,
- Could interfere with the accurate assessment of safety or efficacy, or,
- Could potentially affect a subject's safety or study outcome
- Meets criteria defined by the DSM‑IV‑TR for a major depressive episode or for active significant psychiatric disorders within last year
- Depression in remission, with or without antidepressant treatment, may participate, unless stable antidepressant regimen is a prohibited medication

- Within six months for studies related to DPN
- Treated previously with GEn
