What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part 1: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 12

    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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85)

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

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

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Part 1 and Part 2: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2 (Day 14)

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

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

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Part 2: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 2 (Day 14) in LIK066 Twice Daily and LIK066 Three Times Daily Arms

    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 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.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration of LIK066 at Steady State (Cmax ss) in Part 1 of the Study

    Blood samples were collected at predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 24 h postdose on Day 84. Overall glycemic status represents combination of dysglycemic and normoglycemic subjects.

    Measured: Day 84

    Measured: Day 84

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Profile to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration at Steady State (AUClast, ss) of LIK066 in Part 1 of the Study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LIK066 in people with Elevated Body Mass Index, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Part 1: Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12 (Day 85)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2021.
