Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Lowering of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) throughout the study to see if there is a decrease from baseline | Within 28 days following dosing |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics (measuring trough concentrations) | On days 7, 14 and 28 |
| Pharmacodynamics (measuring daily glucose, glucose AUC, HbA1c, lipid profiles, HPA markers, free testosterone, and SHBG) | Within 28 days following dosing |
