Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Levels in peripheral blood of glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C). Measure:Change from the baseline visit at the A1C level. Timepoints:Week 24. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): +30, +60, +120 and +180 minutes after the beginning of the ingestion of 75 grams of oral glucose solution. FPG and A1C in peripheral blood samples. Measure:Secondary efficacy: 1) The change from the baseline visit in the area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 180 minutes for the postprandial glucose response (PPG) to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). 2) The change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG). 3) The proportion of subjects that reach a therapeutic glycemic response defined as A1C <7.0%. Timepoints:Week 24. ; Outcome name:Laboratory tests: OGTT, A1C, Glucagon, insulin, peptide C. Measure:1) The proportion of subjects that reach a glycemic response defined as A1C <6.5%. 2) Area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 180 minutes for the response of glucagon, insulin and postprandial C-peptide to an OGTT. 3) Fasting glucagon, insulin and C-peptide. 4) Change from baseline in the levels of glucose, glucagon, C-peptide and insulin at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes after an OGTT. 5) Change from the baseline visit in insulin sensitivity and B cell function derived from measurements of insulin, C-peptide and glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test. Timepoints:A1C, glucagon, insulin, peptide C: Before starting the study and in weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 37, 50, 63 and 76. OGTT: Before the study and in weeks 24 and 76. ; Outcome name:1) Function of the beta cells, according to the measurement of an evaluation of the Homeostasis Model (HOMA). 2) Insulin resistance, as measured by HOMA-IR. For the calculation of HOMA and HOMA-IR the insulin and glucose values in fasting will be required. Measure:1) Function of beta cells. 2) Insulin resistance. Timepoints:Insulin and fasting glucose: Before starting the study and in weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 37, 50, 63 and 76. ; Outcome name:BMI: Weight and size of the subjects. Glycemic | — |
