Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Averaged Postprandial Glucose in Response to a MMT Test

Change from baseline of averaged postprandial glucose (mmol/L) in response to a Mixed-meal tolerance (MMT) test.

Time frame: 28 days

Population: All patients who were compliant during the treatment period and who had a Day 8 and Day 43 averaged mixed-meal tolerance test and laboratory assessments. Compliance during the treatment period was determined by the sponsor through a manual review of pill counts, including a review of comments from the study sites.
