Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in weight	Reported in kilograms (kg)	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in Hemoglobin A1c	Hemoglobin is a protein within red blood cells. As glucose enters the bloodstream, it binds to hemoglobin, or glycates. The more glucose that enters the bloodstream, the higher the amount of glycated hemoglobin. An A1C level below 5.7 percent is considered normal. Reported as percentage of glycated hemoglobin	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in fasting glucose	Glucose (sugar) measured in the blood and reported in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in total cholesterol	Blood sample taken to measure the sum of blood's cholesterol content and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol	LDL (bad) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol	HDL (good) cholesterol measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Change in Triglycerides	Triglycerides levels measured in the blood and reported in milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL)	Baseline, 12 weeks
Secondary	Subjects to complete study	Total number of subjects to complete study per protocol	Baseline, 12 weeks
