Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Multiple Oral Doses of JNJ-41443532 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (NCT NCT01230749)

NCT ID: NCT01230749

Last Updated: 2013-12-11

Results Overview

Difference is calculated as the change in 24-hour WAG in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. 24-hour WAG is defined as the area under the plasma glucose concentration time curve over 0 to 24 hours, divided by 24.

Participant Flow

89 participants were enrolled at 7 study sites in United States.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to Day 28

Population: Analyses included all participants who received at least 1 dose of JNJ-41443532 or placebo and had at least 1 pharmacodynamic assessment posttreatment. Two participants (1 in JNJ-41443532 250-mg group and 1 in Pioglitazone group) were excluded from the analysis because a blood sample for HOMA-%B was not collected on Day 28.

Difference is calculated as the change in insulin secretion in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. Insulin secretion is measured by the absolute change in Homeostasis Model Assessment of steady state islet beta cell (HOMA-%B). HOMA-%B calculated as: (360 multiplied by Insulin \[pmol/L\]) divided by (\[Glucose {mg/dL} minus 63\] multiplied by 6.945). Higher value is better (signifies improvement relative to baseline).

Timeframe: From baseline to Day 28

Population: Analyses included all participants who received at least 1 dose of JNJ-41443532 or placebo and had at least 1 pharmacodynamic assessment posttreatment. Two participants (1 in JNJ-41443532 250-mg group and 1 in Pioglitazone group) were excluded from the analysis because a blood sample for HOMA-IR was not collected on Day 28.

Difference is calculated as the change in insulin resistance in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. Insuline sensitivity is measured by absolute change in Homeostasis Model Assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Insulin sensitivity is HOMA-%S and HOMA-IR is the reciprocal of HOMA-%S. HOMA-IR calculated as: (Glucose \[mg/dL\]) multiplied by Insulin \[pmol/L\]) divided by (405 multiplied by 6.945). Lower value is better (signifies improvement relative to baseline).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to Day 28

Population: Analyses included all participants who received at least 1 dose of JNJ-41443532 or placebo and had at least 1 pharmacodynamic assessment posttreatment.

Difference is calculated as the geometric mean change in IL-6 from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the geometric mean change. IL-6 is a systemic inflammatory markers and is an independent predictors of insulin resistance and progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus. IL-6 was not measured for pioglitazone guoup. The unit of IL-6 is picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).
