4. Diagnosis of either painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) or PHN.
5. Presence of chronic peripheral neuropathic pain for more than 3 months and less than 10 years prior to Screening.
6. Subjects with weekly average NPRS pain assessment score of = 4 and = 9 at Baseline (Visit 1).

a) Painful Diabetic Neuropathy: PDN subjects with diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus with painful distal symmetrical sensorimotor neuropathy of more than 3 months duration with all of the following:
i) Neuropathic symptoms (e.g., numbness, nonpainful paresthesias or tingling, nonpainful sensory distortions or misinterpretations, etc).
ii) Decreased distal sensation (e.g., decreased vibration, pinprick sensation, light touch, etc).
iii) Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of = 9.5%.
iv) Stable anti-diabetic treatment for at least 3 months prior to Screening.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with evidence of a known etiology of peripheral neuropathy other than diabetes mellitus or postherpetic infection, including but not limited to hereditary (e.g., amyloidosis, Tangier disease, Fabry’s disease, hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy), alcohol-related neuropathy, drug-induced neuropathy (chemotherapy, antibiotics, antiretrovirals, or other neurotoxic agents), or autoimmune disease.
2. Subjects with diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
3. Subjects with very severe pain likely to affect self-assessment of pain due to DPN or PHN.
4. Subjects with skin conditions likely to alter sensation.
5. History of alcohol or substance dependence or abuse within 1 year before the study initiation.
6. Previous failed PGB treatment due to lack of efficacy, experienced hypersensitivity, or intolerance to PGB or other a2-d ligands.
7. History or presence of clinically significant or unstable cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, or psychiatric disease or other condition that may indicate an increased risk of study participation or interfere with interpretation of the study results.
8. History or presence of any clinically significant abnormality in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), or laboratory test results or has any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.
9. History of suicide attempt within 6 months prior to Screening, or a positive response to item 4 or 5 of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS).
10. Episode of major depression within 6 months prior to Screening (clinically stable minor depression is not exclusionary).

12. Subjects who have cognitive ability that makes it difficult to understand the nature, scope, and possible outcomes of the clinical study or who are not cooperative in the clinical study, as judged by the Investigator.
13. Subjects with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 3 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin = 1.5 × ULN (isolated increase of bilirubin in fasting condition, consistent with Gilbert’s syndrome, is acceptable) or clinically significant abnormalities in biochemistry and hematology at Screening.
14. Subjects with creatinine clearance (CrCl) = 60 mL/minute.
15. Subjects with a history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, history of Hepatitis B infection within the past year, or history of Hepatitis C infection that has not been adequately treated.
16. Subjects that have initiated a chronic therapy with analgesics = 14 days before the Screening phase.
Note: Subjects chronically using analgesics, for conditions other than NP, may continue but they should not change the pattern of use during the study.
17. Unable or unwilling to comply with the prohibited concomitant medication restrictions as detailed in the list of excluded medication.
18. Treatment with live attenuated vaccines (including live attenuated COVID-19 vaccines) within 2 weeks before the IMPs administration or during the study.
19. History of COVID-19 PCR positivity within 3 months before the IMPs administration, suspected COVID-19 based on clinical presentation within 3 months before the IMPs administration, COVID-19 requiring hospitalization, or presence of long-term sequelae of COVID-19 after discussion with medical monitor.
