Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Beta-cell Function After 52 Weeks of Therapy

    Time frame · Baseline (week -2) and 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Treatment effect on beta-cell function as measured by the ratio of Week 52 arginine-stimulated insulin secretion during a hyperglycemic clamp(specifically, the incremental AUC of insulin with respect to basal value over a 10 min period \[i.e., clamp time 290 min to 300 min\]) to that at baseline (i.e., the ratio is calculated as arginine-stimulated insulin secretion at week 52 divided by arginine-stimulated insulin secretion at baseline \[week -2\]).

Secondary outcomes(8)
  1. Beta-cell Function 4 Weeks After Cessation of Therapy

    Time frame · Baseline (week -2) and 56 weeks

    Registry description

    Treatment effect on beta-cell function as measured by the ratio of Week 56 arginine-stimulated insulin secretion during a hyperglycemic clamp(specifically, the incremental AUC of insulin with respect to basal value over a 10 min period \[i.e., clamp time 290 min to 300 min\]) to that at baseline (i.e., the ratio is calculated as arginine-stimulated insulin secretion at week 56 divided by arginine-stimulated insulin secretion at baseline \[week -2\]).

  2. Change in First Phase C-peptide Release

    Time frame · baseline (week -2), 52 weeks, and 56 weeks

    Registry description

    Ratio of first phase C-peptide response to glucose at 52 weeks (end of on-drug period) and 56 weeks (during off-drug period) compared to first phase C-peptide response to glucose at baseline (i.e., C-peptide response to glucose at week 52 or week 56 divided by C-peptide response to glucose at baseline \[week -2\]). C-peptide is measured as a surrogate marker of insulin secretion. First phase C-peptide/insulin release is measured during the first ten minutes of glucose infusion during a hyperglycemic clamp procedure.

  3. Change in Second Phase C-peptide Release

    Time frame · baseline (-2 weeks), 52 weeks, and 56 weeks

    Registry description

    Ratio of second phase C-peptide response to glucose at 52 weeks (end of on-drug period) and 56 weeks (during off-drug period) compared to second phase C-peptide response to glucose at baseline (i.e., C-peptide response to glucose at week 52 or week 56 divided by C-peptide response to glucose at baseline \[week -2\]). C-peptide is measured as a surrogate marker of insulin secretion. Second phase C-peptide/insulin release is measured from time=10 minutes to time=80 minutes of glucose infusion during a hyperglycemic clamp procedure.

  4. Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Time frame · Week 0 and week 52

    Registry description

    Change in HbA1c from week 0 to week 52 (i.e., HbA1c at week 52 minus HbA1c at week 0).

  5. Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    Time frame · 0 weeks and 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in fasting plasma glucose from week 0 to week 52 (i.e., fasting plasma glucose at week 52 minus fasting plasma glucose at week 0).

  6. Seven Point Self Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Measurements

    Time frame · 0 weeks and 52 weeks

    Registry description

    SMBG measured at 7 time points (before and after breakfast, before and after lunch, before and after dinner, at bedtime).

  7. Change in Body Weight

    Time frame · 0 weeks and 52 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in body weight from week 0 to week 52 (i.e., body weight at week 52 minus body weight at week 0).

  8. M-value at Baseline, Week 52 and Week 56

    Time frame · baseline (week -2), 52 weeks, and 56 weeks

    Registry description

    M-value at baseline (week -2), week 52 (end of on-drug period), and week 56 (during off-drug period). Insulin sensitivity was assessed during the euglycemic/hyperglycemic clamp test at baseline (week -2), week 52, and week 56. Insulin-mediated glucose uptake (M-value) was calculated as the mean glucose requirement during the 90-120 minute interval of the clamp.
