How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

fasting plasma glucose, basal insulin levels (time frame: 48 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
