E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg compared with placebo in improving Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and abdominal obesity. To assess the tolerability and safety of once-a-day administrations of oral doses of GFT505 during 35 days.

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of GFT505 80mg compared with placebo in improving the VO2max. To describe the changes on others parameters measured during the physical exercise test (VCO2, RQ, lactate concentration...) To describe the changes of fasting glycaemia, insulinemia and HOMA index in the two groups. HOMA index is calculated as follow: [fasting serum glucose (mmol/l) X fasting insulin level (µunits/ml) /22,5]. To describe the changes in TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels in the two groups. To describe the changes in inflammatory markers and others parameters, in the two groups. To describe the changes in the circulating shed membrane microparticles (MP) signature To describe the changes in pedometer measurements (number of daily steps) To assess the plasma exposure of GFT505 after repeated once daily administrations of GFT505
