Brief summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug in treating type 2 diabetes in children 10 to 17 years old. The groups will be low-dose (0.625 g Welchol) and high-dose (3.75 g Welchol). The children will have a 2 in 5 chance of being assigned to the low-dose group. They will have a 3 in 5 chance of being assigned to the high-dose group. We believe the study drug will be safe, well tolerated, and improve blood sugar control in children 10 to 17 years old.

Detailed description

Colesevelam oral suspension will be studied as treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to evaluate clinical safety and efficacy in patients aged 10-17 years. The patients may have been treated with Metformin or have had no antidiabetic drug treatment in the previous three months. Study Hypothesis: Colesevelam oral suspension for pediatric subjects with T2DM is safe, well tolerated, and shows improved blood sugar control (as evidenced by a significant change from baseline in hemoglobin A1C \[HbA1c\]).

Recruitment details

A total of 236 participants who met all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria were enrolled and randomized to either Welchol 3.75 g (high-dose) or Welchol 0.625 g (low-dose).

Pre-assignment details

Participants may have either been receiving metformin monotherapy or untreated with antidiabetic agents. All participants entered a 2-week, single-blind lead in/stabilization period after eligibility was confirmed. Metformin dose remained the same during the stabilization period.
