Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the effect of dose escalation of once-weekly (QW) subcutaneous (SC) OPK-8003 injections vs placebo on HbA1c absolute change from baseline at 30 weeks in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or treated with a stable dose of metformin.

Detailed description

This clinical trial is a phase 2, double-blind dose escalation regimen of once-weekly OPK-88003 in subjects with T2DM. The trial consists of a screening/baseline (up to 2 weeks prior to first dose), treatment period consisting of a dose escalation (8 weeks) and a target dose (22 weeks), and a follow-up period (4 weeks). Subjects will be randomly assigned to volume-matched OPK-88003 or placebo administered QW.
