Key information

About this study

Efficacy evaluation:

Primary efficacy index:

After 12 weeks of treatment, the change of arteriosclerosis related biomarker in 4 modality groups, comparing with the base line information

Secondary efficacy index:

After 8 weeks of treatment, the change of arteriosclerosis related biomarker in 4 modality groups, comparing with the base line information

Safety evaluation:

  • Adverse Event
  • Vital Sign and Physical Examination
  • 12-lead ECG
  • Laboratory Tests (including blood routine examination, routine urine analysis, blood biochemistry examination, glycosylated hemoglobin)
