Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Weighted Mean Glucose (WMG) Change From Baseline at Day 28
Time Frame: Baseline and day 28
The change from baseline reflects the day 28 WMG value minus the baseline WMG value. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, previous anti-diabetic medication, and baseline WMG.
Baseline and day 28
GLP-1 (Glucagon Like Peptide 1) AUEC (0-2h) (Area Under Effect Curve) Change From Baseline at Day 28
Time Frame: Baseline and day 28
The change from baseline reflects the day 28 GLP-1 AUEC (0-2h) value minus the baseline GLP-1 AUEC (0-2h) value. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, previous anti-diabetic medication and baseline GLP-1.
Baseline and day 28

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Change From Baseline at Day 28
Time Frame: Baseline and day 28
The change from baseline reflects the day 28 FPG value minus the baseline FPG value. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, previous anti-diabetic medication and baseline FPG.
Baseline and day 28
Plasma Glucose Area Under Effect Curve (AUEC) (0-3h) Change From Baseline at Day 28
Time Frame: Baseline and day 28
The change from baseline reflects the day 28 Glucose AUEC (0-3h) value minus the baseline Glucose AUEC (0-3h) value. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, previous anti-diabetic medication and baseline plasma glucose AUEC (0-3h).
Baseline and day 28

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Exploratory Sensitivity Analysis of the WMG Change From Baseline at Day 28

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
