Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 18 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 18 ]
    A1C was measured as a percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 18 A1C percent minus the Week 0 A1C percent.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 18 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 18 ]
    Change from baseline at Week 18 is defined as Week 18 FPG minus Week 0 FPG.

  2. Change From Baseline in 2-hr Post-Meal Glucose (PMG) at Week 18 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 18 ]
    Change from baseline at Week 18 is defined as Week 18 minus Week 0.
