Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Part 1: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 12 [Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85)]

    Triplicate body weight measurements at each visit were averaged and represented body weight at that visit. Baseline was defined to be the body weight at the last visit prior to the first treatment. Baseline is Day -1 in Part 1. Percent change is calculated as [(post baseline- Baseline) /Baseline] * 100. A longitudinal mixed effects model for percent change in body weight was used. The model included fixed effects of treatment, time, glycemic status (a stratification factor for randomization), the treatment-by- time interaction, the treatment-by-glycemic status interaction, the time-by-glycemic status interaction, and the treatment-by-time-by-glycemic status interaction, and Baseline body weight as a covariate.

  2. Part 1: Number of Patients With Any Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death [12 weeks]

    This endpoint reports patients with at least one AE (any AE), serious AE and death.

  3. Part 1 and Part 2: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 2 (Day 14) [Baseline, Week 2 (Day 14)]

    Triplicate body weight measurements at each visit were averaged and represented body weight at that visit. Baseline was defined to be the body weight at the last visit prior to the first treatment. Part 1: Baseline is defined as Day -1. Part 2: Baseline is defined as Day 1 predose. Percent change is calculated as [(post baseline- Baseline) /Baseline] * 100. A longitudinal mixed effects model for percent change in body weight was used. The longitudinal mixed effects model included fixed effects of treatment, time, glycemic status (a stratification factor for randomization), the treatment-by-time interaction, the treatment-by-glycemic status interaction, the time-by-glycemic status interaction, the treatment-by-time-by-glycemic status interaction, a random effect for study part and baseline body weight as a covariate.

  4. Part 2: Number of Patients With Any Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events and Death [2 weeks]

    This endpoint reports patients with at least one AE (any AE), serious AE and death
