Brief summary:
This was a 10-week, placebo-controlled, randomized study to investigate the effect of injectable IL-1B antagonist, Canakinumab , in participants with impaired glucose tolerance or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) already treated on different background diabetes therapies.

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection Canakinumab 150 mg.Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) monotherapy treatment at least 1000 mg/day for 3 months prior to screening arm 2: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Placebo to Canakinumab. Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) monotherapy treatment at least 1000 mg/day for 3 months prior to screening arm 3: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Canakinumab 150 mg.Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) at least 1000 mg/day , and a Sulfonylurea (Sulfonyl), at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose combination therapy, for 3 months prior to screening. arm 4: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Placebo to Canakinumab.Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) at least 1000 mg/day , and a Sulfonylurea (Sulfonyl), at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose combination therapy, for 3 months prior to screening. arm 5: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Canakinumab 150 mg.Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) at least 1000 mg/day , and a Sulfonylurea (Sulfonyl), at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose, and a Thiazolidinedione (Thiaz)at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose combination therapy, for 3 months prior to screening. arm 6: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Placebo to Canakinumab. Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and be on a stable dose of Metformin (Met) at least 1000 mg/day , and a Sulfonylurea (Sulfonyl), at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose, and a Thiazolidinedione (Thiaz)at least 1/2 the maximally labeled dose combination therapy, for 3 months prior to screening. arm 7: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Canakinumab 150 mg. Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for 3 months prior to screening and be on a stable dose of Insulin, 2 insulin injections per day for a total daily dose of less than 100 U with or without Metformin (Met)for 3 months prior to screening arm 8: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Placebo to Canakinumab. Patients must have had documented diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for 3 months prior to screening and be on a stable dose of Insulin, 2 insulin injections per day for a total daily dose of less than 100 U with or without Metformin (Met)for 3 months prior to screening arm 9: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Canakinumab 150 mg. Patients must have had Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria confirmed at screening visit. arm 10: Eligible participants received a single subcutaneous injection of Placebo to Canakinumab. Patients must have had Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria confirmed at screening visit.
