Safety and Efficacy Study of Tesofensine/Metoprolol Treatment in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, two-center, safety and efficacy study of co-administration of tesofensine/metoprolol treatment in subjects with T2DM. Study medication will be administered for ninety (90) days (+2 days after the final assessments with half-dose of metoprolol). Following all baseline assessments, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two arms (1:1).

Effects of Co-administration of Tesofensine/Metoprolol Treatment vs. Placebo on 24-hour Mean Heart Rate

24-hour heart rate monitoring was based on telemetry measurements at baseline (Day -1 to 1, V2) and at the end of treatment (Day 90 to 91, V10). The heart rate was measured every minute and the mean was recorded for every hour.

Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in HbA1c

HbA1c was measured from blood samples collected at baseline (Day 1, V2) and at the end of treatment (Day 90, V10). Additional HbA1c measurements were done during various visits (V6, V8 and V12).
