Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC1-4h) for Postprandial Plasma Glucose From Baseline After 28 Days of Treatment1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5, 3h, 3.5h and 4h after drug administration at day -1 (baseline), and 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5, 3h, 3.5h and 4h after drug administration at day 28

The primary endpoint is the change in AUC1-4h for postprandial plasma glucose based on meal tolerance test from baseline after 28 days of treatment. Baseline refers to the last observation prior to administration of randomised study medication.
