NOX-E36 Multiple Ascending Dose Study in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

NOX-E36 - A Phase Ib, Multiple Intravenous Dose Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties in Healthy Subjects and Then in Three Groups of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to Compare Three Ascending Dose Regimens in a Double-blind and Placebo-controlled Manner

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple intravenous doses of NOX-E36 in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A secondary objective of the trial is to obtain exploratory estimates of the pharmacodynamic response at the level of inflammation, metabolism as well as ongoing diabetes complications (e.g. impaired cardiovascular, liver and renal function). Thus, the study is designed to provide sufficient safety and dose-response data for a planned Phase IIa proof of concept study with NOX-E36 in patients with multiple complications of type II diabetes mellitus.
