Study Summary

TC-6987 is a selective nicotinic α-7 receptor ligand (open channel stabilizer) that has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory/antioxidant properties in animal models. Following the oral administration of a 1mg/kg dose of TC-6987 to diabetic mice (db/db mouse) for 7 weeks, numerous metabolic improvements were observed. Specifically, plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations declined by approximately 30%; Hb1Ac was reduced by nearly 50%; and TNF-α declined more than 60% relative to control db/db mice Therefore, it appears that TC-6987 could prove beneficial in reducing elevated glucose concentrations in diabetic patients as well as in ameliorating organ damage associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and hyperglycemia.

Primary Outcome

The primary efficacy endpoint will be FPG values obtained at Week 4 compared to Day 1 (baseline). This change from baseline will be analyzed using MMRM techniques with an alpha of 0.10 (one-sided), to examine differences between the TC-6987 and placebo treatment cohorts. This change from baseline will be analyzed using the primary efficacy endpoints for the mITT analysis set. The efficacy analyses based on the Per Protocol (PP) analysis set will be considered secondary.
