Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate significant reduction in postprandial plasma glucose (ΔAUC0:30-4:30h) after a standardized breakfast from baseline to Day 29. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate: * Changes from baseline to Day 29 in maximum postprandial plasma glucose excursion, C-peptide and glucagon levels after a standardized breakfast * Delaying gastric emptying (13C-acetic acid breath test) * Safety and tolerability

Detailed description

The duration per patient could be minimum of 38 to 47 days depending on screening visit and post-treatment observation allowances. 13C-acetic acid breath test will be conducted only in investigational site which can be implemented (about 40 patients).
