Primary Endpoint
Safety and Tolerance of a single intravenous dose of trodusquemine (MSI-1436) in obese, type 2 diabetics

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerance of a single intravenous (through a vein) dose of trodusquemine (MSI-1436) in obese, type 2 diabetics.

Different amounts of trodusquemine (MSI-1436) will be given to each volunteer group throughout the study.

Another purpose is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK - the study of the way the drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of trodusquemine (MSI-1436).

Finally, this study will also determine whether trodusquemine (MSI-1436) has any effect on appetite, mood or behavior, and selective biomarkers (substances in your blood that may change in response to the study drug).
