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
Part 1: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85)

Triplicate body weight measurements at each visit were averaged and represented body weight at that visit. Baseline was defined to be the body weight at the last visit prior to the first treatment. Baseline is Day -1 in Part 1. Percent change is calculated as [(post baseline- Baseline) /Baseline] * 100.

A longitudinal mixed effects model for percent change in body weight was used. The model included fixed effects of treatment, time, glycemic status (a stratification factor for randomization), the treatment-by- time interaction, the treatment-by-glycemic status interaction, the time-by-glycemic status interaction, and the treatment-by-time-by-glycemic status interaction, and Baseline body weight as a covariate.
Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85)
Part 1: Number of Patients With Any Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death
Time Frame: 12 weeks
This endpoint reports patients with at least one AE (any AE), serious AE and death.
12 weeks
Part 1 and Part 2: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 2 (Day 14)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2 (Day 14)

Triplicate body weight measurements at each visit were averaged and represented body weight at that visit. Baseline was defined to be the body weight at the last visit prior to the first treatment. Part 1: Baseline is defined as Day -1. Part 2: Baseline is defined as Day 1 predose.

Percent change is calculated as [(post baseline- Baseline) /Baseline] * 100. A longitudinal mixed effects model for percent change in body weight was used.

The longitudinal mixed effects model included fixed effects of treatment, time, glycemic status (a stratification factor for randomization), the treatment-by-time interaction, the treatment-by-glycemic status interaction, the time-by-glycemic status interaction, the treatment-by-time-by-glycemic status interaction, a random effect for study part and baseline body weight as a covariate.
Baseline, Week 2 (Day 14)
Part 2: Number of Patients With Any Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death
Time Frame: 2 weeks
This endpoint reports patients with at least one AE (any AE), serious AE and death
2 weeks

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.

The longitudinal mixed effects model included fixed effects of treatment, time, glycemic status (a stratification factor for randomization), the treatment-by-time interaction, the treatment-by-glycemic status interaction, the time-by-glycemic status interaction, the treatment-by-time-by-glycemic status interaction, a random effect for study part and baseline body weight as a covariate.
