Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 28.

Time frame: Baseline to 28 weeks

Population: Intent-to-treat Last-observation-carried-forward (ITT-LOCF)

ArmMeasureValue (LEAST_SQUARES_MEAN)Dispersion
ActiveChange From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 28.-1.1 percent changeStandard Error 0.12
PlaceboChange From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 28.-0.6 percent changeStandard Error 0.11
Comparison: It is anticipated that the pooled standard deviation (SD) of the change from baseline in HbA1c will be between 1.0 and 1.5. With 90 subjects per treatment group the study will have 90% power (two-sided alpha=0.05) to detect a mean difference between groups of 0.486 for SD=1.0, and a mean difference between groups of 0.729 for SD=1.5.p-value: 0.000795% CI: [-0.9, -0.2]ANCOVA
