Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The co-primary objectives of the study are 1) to evaluate the potential efficacy and dose response of LCQ908 as a therapy for the treatment of obesity (weight loss) and 2) To evaluate the potential efficacy and dose response of LCQ908 as a treatment for the dyslipidemia (LDL-cholesterol) associated with the metabolic syndrome. The trial will be declared positive if either one or both primary endpoints are met.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effects of LCQ908 on weight loss status (= 5%, or < 5%), changes in waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, and specific elements of the lipid profile including chylomicron remnants and HDL subtypes. Additional objectives are to evaluate the effect on other features of the metabolic syndrome including blood pressure and markers of inflammation. Finally, an MRI substudy of the effect of LCQ908 on hepatic fat fraction (HFF) will provide pilot data regarding other potential therapeutic benefits in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the change from baseline of HbA1c at 12 weeks (or the last available post-randomization value).
