Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This was an open-label, sequential, escalating, dose-response study in which 14 adult males (7 diabetic and 7 non-diabetic subjects) were assessed. Four escalating doses (300, 600, 1200, and 2400 mg) of GC811007 taken as 300mg capsules, were administered to each subject daily; each dose was taken once-daily before breakfast for 7 days, with a 6-week washout period between each dose; 24-h urine collections at baseline and on the final day of each dosing period, were performed to measure trace element excretion.

Summary
Brief summary
The study was designed to explore the dose-rising effects of GC811007 on trace metal metabolism in patients with T2DM and healthy non-diabetic subjects; specifically we wanted to investigate the effects of 4 doses of GC811007 on trace metal urine excretion over a period of 7 days. We hypothesised that increasing doses of GC811007 would increase urine copper losses in a dose-dependent manner
