• 18 years of age and older
• Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus
• Meets the Toronto Criteria for probable clinical sensorimotor polyneuropathy, with PDPN symptoms present for at least six months. This is defined as a combination of symptoms and signs with any two or more of the following (must be present bilaterally in the distal lower extremities): neuropathic symptoms, decreased distal sensation, or unequivocally decreased (or absent) ankle reflexes. Specifically:
• The presence of any neuropathic symptoms on either the "Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions" (DN4) or the EPPIC-Net Neuropathy Exam will suffice to demonstrate "neuropathic symptoms."
• Decreased distal sensation is satisfied by any of the following: i. "Yes" is checked at least once under Question 3 of the DN4 which queries hypoesthesia to touch and pinprick. ii. At least one score of "reduced" or "absent" on the right AND at least one score of "reduced" or "absent" on the left in any of the following items from the EPPIC-Net Neuropathy Exam: * Pin sensation in segments 1 or 2 (i.e. the toes and feet) * Vibration at the great toe * Joint position at the great toe * Light touch/touch pressure at the great toe * Temperature at the great toe * Monofilament at the great toe c. Decreased or absent ankle reflexes is satisfied by a score of "reduced" or "absent" on the right AND left in the "Ankle reflex" item in the EPPIC-Net Neuropathy Exam.
• A score of at least 4 on the "Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions" (DN4).
• Pain reporting during a pre-defined 7-day screening period meets study criteria (to be established using a centrally-administered screening algorithm) which may account for mean pain intensity reported, variability in reported values, and adherence in reporting.
• Patient reported daily 11-point NRS (for average and worst pain over the last 24 hours) is completed on at least 5 out of the 7 days in the screening and baseline periods.
• Participants must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, the treatment schedule, laboratory testing, and other requirements of the study (e.g., completion of app-based daily reporting).
• Females may be included if they meet at least one of the following criteria (note that individual ISAs may specify more stringent measures to prevent pregnancy): a. Are not of childbearing potential, defined as one or more of the following: i. Post-menopausal for at least 1 year ii. Surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy) iii. XY genotype iv. Turner syndrome v. Uterine agenesis. b. Are completely abstinent from sexual activity capable of resulting in pregnancy (as part of their preferred and usual lifestyle). This will include females whose sole sexual partner is a male who has undergone surgical sterilization or vasectomy. c. Women of childbearing potential will agree to practice an effective form of two types of birth control, which are defined as those, alone or in combination, that result in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. This must be done before, throughout, and for 30 days after the last dose of DB study drug. Acceptable methods are: i. Hormonal methods such as the vaginal ring, or oral, implantable, injectable, or transdermal contraceptives for a minimum of 1 full cycle (based on the participant's usual menstrual cycle period) before study drug administration. ii. Intrauterine device. iii. Barrier method of contraception: condoms with or without a spermicidal agent, diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide
• Specific requirements of male participants (regarding contraception) will be defined in the ISAs based on the potential toxicity profile of the asset.
• 2. Platform Protocol Exclusion Criteria (To be used in conjunction with ISA-specific criteria; note, some ISA criteria may be more stringent than Platform criteria; always follow the more stringent criteria when determining eligibility) Please note that some of the below criteria which depend on clinical judgment require contacting the MM. Participants must not meet any of the following exclusion criteria, organized by category:

• Other significant pain conditions involving the same area as the neuropathy (e.g. physical deformity of the feet, plantar fasciitis, lumbosacral radiculopathy with distal lower extremity pain, fibromyalgia involving the lower limbs, Morton's neuroma), that in the opinion of the investigator would interfere with the participant's ability to rate the neuropathy pain.
• Other pain conditions not involving the same area as the neuropathy which (in the opinion of the investigator) interfere with the participant's ability to rate the neuropathy pain.
• Any amputation of the lower limb which interferes with the participant's ability to rate the neuropathy pain. If there is any amputation please contact the MM to confirm eligibility prior to randomization to an ISA.

Non-pharmacological treatment for conditions other than PDPN is allowed without restriction.
• Active use of opioids or marijuana for any reason at screening and unwilling or unable to discontinue use.
• 2.3. Medical Exclusion Criteria
