PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: 1 participant in the Pioglitazone group and 2 participants in the Placebo group had blood samples collected after the 10 week visit prior to their withdrawal. They did not complete the study, but their results were included in the 6-month analysis.

The percent difference in HMW-A concentration geometric mean values from baseline to 6 months was calculated for each arm
