The 24-hour WMG is derived from multiple glucose values collected during both fasting and post-meal periods. A "weighted" rather than a "simple" mean is used to avoid overrepresentation of post-meal glucose values. Blood samples for glucose were collected immediately prior to, and after each meal, and overnight and fasting one hour pre-dose.
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study. A serious AE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure, regardless of whether it is considered related to the medical treatment or procedure, that occurs during the course of the study.
An LAE is defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A CAE is defined similarly but also includes changes in structure or function of the body. Serious AEs are those occuring that result in one or more of the pre-specified outcome(s) that meet the criteria of seriousness, including death, life-threatening, significant disability, or hospitalization, etc. Drug-relatedness was determined by the investigator based on clinical judgement.
Changes in HGP were determined during a euglycemic clamp procedure. HGP was evaluated as milligrams per kilogram of glucose produced per minute.
