Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the change in pro-inflammatory cytokine monocyte-chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in urine in subjects treated with liraglutide over a 26 week treatment period versus a matched control group who received no liraglutide. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are to compare: 1. Changes in serum and urine sCD163 2. Changes in urinary albumin excretion rates 3. Safety between both subject groups over a 26 week treatment period. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is the measurement of the change in pro-inflammatory cytokine monocyte-chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in urine over a 26 week treatment period in subjects treated with liraglutide versus a matched control group who received no liraglutide.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After a 26 week period.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoints of this study are the measurement of: 1. Changes in serum and urine sCD163 2. Changes in urinary albumin excretion rates 3. Safety as measured by changes from Baseline Visit in physical examination findings, safety laboratory test results, vital signs and adverse events reported between both subject groups. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After a 26 week period.
