Study summary

This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CT-996 in overweight/obese participants and participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation, first in human study designed to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CT-996 when administered as single ascending doses (SAD) and multiple-ascending doses (MAD) in overweight/obese participants and as multiple doses (MD) in patients with T2DM.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: From first study drug administration until last safety follow-up (up to 31 days [Part 1] or 58 days [Parts 2 and 3])

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5 (Part 1) or Day 33 (Parts 2 and 3)

  2. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5 (Part 1) or Day 33 (Parts 2 and 3)

  3. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) from Time 0 to the Time of Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-t) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5 (Part 1) or Day 33 (Parts 2 and 3)

  4. AUC from Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5 (Part 1) or Day 33 (Parts 2 and 3)

  5. Apparent Terminal Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5 (Part 1) or Day 33 (Parts 2 and 3)

  6. Part 1 Cohorts: Clearance (CL) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5

  7. Part 1 Cohorts: Volume of Distribution (V) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 5

  8. Part 2 Cohorts: Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 33

  9. Parts 2 and 3 Cohorts: Clearance Divided by the Bioavailable Fraction (CL/F) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 33

  10. Parts 2 and 3 Cohorts: Volume of Distribution Divided by the Bioavailable Fraction (Vz/F) of CT-996

    Time frame: At prespecified timepoints from Day 1 to Day 33
