Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in HbA1c from baseline to observation points 12 and 24 weeks in each group

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Change in blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, GLP-1, intact GLP-1, GIP, intact GIP (each point, AUC) in OGTT from baseline (observation point 0 week) to observation point 12, 24 weeks in each group 2. Change in insulinogenic index, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-beta from baseline (observation point 0 week) to observation points 12 and 24 weeks in each group 3. Change in insulin resistance index (SI) using the oral minimal model from baseline (observation point 0 week) to observation points 12 and 24 weeks in each group 4. Change in insulin secretion index (phai, DI) using the oral minimal model from baseline (Week 0) to Weeks 12 and 24 in each group 5. Incidence of adverse events and disease from baseline (Week 0) to Weeks 12 and 24 in each group 6. Comparison of change in primary endpoint and secondary endpoint 1 (change in AUC), and 2-5 between the imeglimin and metformin groups
