Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • The primary efficacy variable was the change in HbA1C from baseline to the end of therapy.
  • Other efficacy variables were the change from baseline in FPG, serum lipids and weight.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • Secondary efficacy parameters were: a mean change from baseline in FPG
  • Mean change from baseline in fasting insulin/C-peptide levels
  • Mean change from baseline in lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TG, free fatty acids)
  • Mean change from baseline for bodyweight.
  • Health-related quality of life was compared between the baseline visit and the follow-up assessments
