Exclusion criteria

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

  • Use of clonidine within 3 months prior to screening
  • Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism as evidenced by abnormal lab markers
  • Any disorder requiring the intermittent or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids
  • Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism as determined by lab markers done at screening
  • Active liver disease as determined by lab markers
  • Kidney impairment; estimated GFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
  • History of heart attack, clinically significant arrhythmia, unstable angina, coronary angioplasty/bypass surgery, stroke, or TIA in 3 months prior to screening
  • Chronic heart failure
  • Drug or alcohol abuse within 2 years prior to screening
  • History of sensitivity to any beta blocker, HCTZ, sulfa drug, or calcium channel blocker
  • Participation in another research study within 30 days prior to screening

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26

    Change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) over 26 weeks, Last Observation Carried Forward.

    Time frame: visit 5(week 0) and visit 14(week 26)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Insulin Resistance Based on Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR)

    Change from Baseline in Insulin Resistance based on homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at week 26, Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). The HOMA-IR is the the product of the blood Glucose and Insulin levels, divided by a constant. HOMA-IR is expressed as the following: HOMA-IR = fasting serum insulin (μU/ml) × fasting plasma glucose (mmol/l) / 22.5

    Time frame: [visit 5(week 0) and visit 14(week 26)]
