This is a Phase 2a study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of MEDI0382 titrated up to a dose level of 100, 200 or 300 µg from 50 µg vs Placebo across 48 days in Japanese subjects. The study D5674C00001 can be conducted with a reasonable expectation of safety and tolerability in Japanese T2DM patients. The design of this study has taken into account the known benefits and risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists and glucagon receptor agonists as well as the translatable effects observed in nonclinical studies of MEDI0382.
This is a randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter Phase Ⅱa study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MEDI0382 in Japanese preobese and obese subjects with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise. Subject fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomised in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to four treatment arms. This is a Phase IIa study designed to evaluate the dose range for MEDI0382 to explore the safety profile, as well as blood glucose control and weight loss effects of MEDI0382 in Japanese patients with T2DM. The design of this study has taken into account the known benefits and risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists and glucagon receptor agonists as well as the translatable effects observed in nonclinical studies of MEDI0382, such that benefit-risk balance for the Japanese preobese and obese patients with T2DM in this study is considered favourable. A treatment period of 48 days is required to properly evaluate the dose range and safety and tolerability in three different doses. Inclusion of placebo in the study allows appropriate basis of AEs, glycaemic control, and weight loss. Benefits related to participation in this trial include close follow-up of a subject's diabetes and treatment with anti-diabetes agents. Although one of possible treatments is placebo, appropriate rescue therapy for worsening glycaemic control will be implemented if required.

Time frame: Baseline (Day -1) and Days 20 and 48.
Mean Change From Baseline in 24-Hour Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (BP) at Days 20 and 48
Twenty four-hour BP was determined using an ABPM device, and the mean change from baseline in the 24-hour systolic BP and 24-hour diastolic BP are presented for Days 20 and 48.

Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in Glucose Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve (AUC[0-4h]) as Measured by a Standardised Mixed-Meal Test (MMT) at Day 48
The MMT was conducted following a minimum 8-hour fast. Blood samples for glucose monitoring were taken 15 minutes before the patient consumed a standardised meal, and samples were taken at intervals after the meal, up to 4 hours. The MMT glucose AUC(0-4h) was calculated using a trapezoidal method, and the mean percentage change from baseline at Day 48 was analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group as a factor and baseline as a covariate.
Time frame: Baseline (Day -1) and Day 48: 15 minutes before standardised meal, and then at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 minutes (+/-5 minutes) after consumption of the standardised meal.
Mean Percentage Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Day 48
The mean percentage change from baseline in body weight at Day 48 was analysed using an ANCOVA model with treatment group as a factor and baseline as a covariate. For patients who prematurely discontinued IP, the last on-treatment measurement, regardless of rescue medication, was used (last observation carried forward \[LOCF\]).
Time frame: Baseline (Day -1) and Day 48.
Mean Change From Baseline in Heart Rate Measured by Electrocardiogram (ECG) at Day 48.

Number of Patients Who Experienced Adverse Events (AEs)
AEs were collected from Day 1 of treatment up to 14 days after the last dose of IP. Serious AEs (SAEs) were collected from signing of informed consent. The numbers of patients who experienced any AE, any SAE (including events with an outcome of death), and any AE leading to discontinuation of IP are presented.
