DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

Depomed Inc. (DEPO) said a Phase II trial of its Gabapentin GR drug for diabetic peripheral neuropathy showed statistically significant efficacy benefits.

The Menlo Park, Calif., specialty pharmaceutical company said the trial involved 147 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a nerve disorder caused by diabetes. Patients were treated with 3,000-milligrams of Gabapentin GR, dosed once or twice daily, or a placebo.

Reductions in average daily pain scores were statistically significant with the once-daily dose, and the twice-daily dose also showed pain improvement, Depomed said. Sleep interference also decreased with both doses.

Depomed shares were up 48 cents, or 15%, at $3.60 in pre-market trading on Nasdaq.
