Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of Naturlose (Tagatose) (NCT NCT00961662)

NCT ID: NCT00961662

Last Updated: 2014-11-06

Results Overview

The primary efficacy parameter was a dichotomous variable: the treatment success as measured by a reduction from baseline HbA1c by at least 0.5 units after six months of treatment (i.e.,0.5% reduction in HbA1c after six months of treatment).

Participant Flow

The study evaluated the data from 18 clinical study sites (11 sites in the United States and 7 sites in India)for approximately six months.

Clinical laboratory testing (including comprehensive hematology, clinical chemistry, liver function tests, lipid profile, HbA1c levels and urinalysis) was performed. A urine pregnancy test was performed for female subjects of childbearing potential.
