Clinical Trial Description

This was a phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of

EGT0001442. The study included two segments:

Segment 1 was a single center, open labeled, ascending dose study in 4 groups of 5 diabetic subjects per group who received 5, 10, 20, or 50 mg of EGT0001442 capsules orally once daily for 28 days. The subjects were in clinic for the first 3 days for safety and PK evaluation.

Segment 2 was a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. One hundred and thirty one subjects in 5 parallel groups of approximately 25 diabetic subjects per group were randomly assigned to receive oral EGT0001442 at 5, 10, 20, or 50 mg/day or placebo once daily for 28 days in an outpatient setting. ;
