Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of bimagrumab when administered in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A non-confirmatory, randomized, subject and investigator blinded, placebo controlled, parallel-arm study, investigating a 48-week treatment period with i.v. bimagrumab 10 mg/kg in overweight and obese subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Participants were randomized and assigned to one of the following 2 treatment arms in a ratio of 1:1:

Arm 1: Bimagrumab 10 mg/kg up to maximum 1200 mg, every 4 weeks (12 doses) until week 44.

Arm 2: Placebo, every 4 weeks (12 doses) until week 44.

The study consisted of a screening baseline period of 3 weeks, treatment period of 48 weeks and then a follow-up period of 8 weeks.

Treatment period visits were scheduled every 4 weeks until week 44. Administration of bimagrumab or placebo was done via an i.v. infusion over 30 minutes followed by flushing for 15 minutes. Subjects were asked to return to the Investigator site for dosing approximately every 4 weeks during the treatment period. During those visits, subjects were evaluated for safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy. The treatment period ended approximately 4 weeks after the last dose administration.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Type 2 diabetes with HbA1c between 6.5% and 10% at screening with stable treatment for 3 months prior to randomization
* On one of the following anti-diabetes regimens with stable treatment for approximately 3 months prior to randomization: 1) metformin monotherapy; 2) DPP4 inhibitor agent monotherapy; 3) combination therapy of metformin and DPP4 inhibitor agent; 4) no anti-diabetes therapy.
* Body Mass Index of 28 to 40 kg/m2 at screening
* Body weight between 65 and 140 kg at screening

Exclusion Criteria

* Women of child-bearing potential unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
* Diabetes other than Type 2 such as Type 1 diabetes, surgically induced diabetes, "brittle" type 2 diabetes as per investigator judgement, history of severe hypoglycemic episodes in the year preceding screening or hypoglycemic unawareness
* History of clinically significant arrythmias, heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or stroke, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or percutaneous coronary intervention, deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism, valve disorders or defects, pulmonary hypertension within 6 months of screening or 1 year for drug-eluting stents
* Tachycardia
