Study Summary

This study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of bimagrumab when administered in overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes

Primary Outcome

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to assess changes in body composition, including total fat and lean body mass (FM and LBM) and appendicular skeletal fat and muscle mass (aFM and aLBM). DXA instruments had a source that generated x-rays split into two energies which measured bone mineral mass and soft tissue from which fat and fat-free mass (or lean body mass) were estimated.
