Overview

Arms & Interventions
Canakinumab
Eligible participants were assigned to receive canakinumab in one of four cohorts; 1) Single IV infusion of canakinumab 0.3 mg/kg; 2) Singe IV infusion of canakinumab 10 mg/kg; 3) single IV infusion of canakinumab 0.1 mg/kg or 0.3 mg/kg, or 1.5 mg/kg; 4) Single IV injection of canakinumab 0.03 mg/kg. All participants were required to take a concomitant stable daily dose of metformin during the study.
Intervention: Canakinumab

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change From Baseline in Plasma HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin / Hemoglobin A1c)
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28, Day 84, Day 126, End of Study (168 [+/- 5] days after dosing)
Blood was drawn after an overnight fast to measure plasma HbA1c levels. End of Study is defined as the last Analysis of covariance with treatment as a fixed effect and baseline as the covariate was performed.
Mean Change From Baseline in Plasma Glucose Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0 - 4 Hours Following Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT )
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28, Day 84
Mean Change in Glucose level stimulated by OGTT. Blood samples were taken at sample times: -20, -10, -1 and 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 minutes. Glucose levels over 4 hrs were shown as Area Under the Curve, (AUC). Analysis of covariance with treatment as a fixed effect and baseline as the covariate was performed.
