Brief Summary

A Multi-center, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Phase IIa Study of MLR-1023 in Adult Subjects With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes

Detailed Description

Objectives

1. To assess the safety, tolerability and initial anti-diabetic activity of MLR-1023 in subjects with uncontrolled mild to moderate type 2 diabetes mellitus

2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of MLR-1023 and the major metabolite, MLR-1023-M1 following 28 days of repeat dosing

Design and Outcomes

The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of MLR-1023 in adult subjects with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus who are on diet and exercise therapy.

A subset of subjects per dose group will have additional samples analyzed to measure signs of MLR-1023.
