Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Clinically significant abnormalities in medical history or physical examination 2.Screening laboratory results as follows or any other clinically significant abnormalities in screening laboratory values that would render a patient unsuitable for inclusion a.Urine protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio > 0.2 mg/mg.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the pharmacodynamics effects of GCGR Reduction by ISIS 449884 (100 mg) on Hepatic Lipid and Glycogen Content.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of ISIS 449884.;Primary end point(s): PHARMACODYNAMIC • Differences in percent hepatic glycogen content between Baseline and post-treatment assessments for ISIS 449884 100 mg and placebo patients • Differences in percent hepatic lipid content between Baseline and post-treatment assessments for ISIS 449884 100 mg and placebo patients • Change from Baseline in percent fasting hepatic glycogen content and percent fasting hepatic lipid content for each patient who has MRS procedures conducted at Baseline, Week 6 and Week 14. • Change and percent change from Baseline to Week 14 in fasting plasma glucagon and fasting plasma total GLP-1 between ISIS 449884 100 mg and placebo group EFFICACY Comparisons of change and percent change from Baseline to Week 14 in HbA1c, FPG, plasma insulin, plasma C-peptide and weekly average SMPG between ISIS 449884 100 mg and placebo group in the Per-Protocol Set and Full Analysis Set. SAFETY The safety endpoints include: • Adverse events • Vital signs (including blood pressure) and body weight • Physical examination • Clinical laboratory tests (serum chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, lipids, antibodies, pregnancy test for women with childbearing potential) • ECG • Use of concomitant medication;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Evaluation will take place at the end of the study. PHARMACODYNAMIC • Between baseline and post-treatment assessments • Between baseline and post-treatment assessments • Between baseline and Week 14 EFFICACY • Between baseline and Week 6 and Week 14 SAFETY • Throughout the study
