  • {"criterion_text":"- Completed all required study visits per protocol in the parent study (i.e. AROAPOC3-3001 [Canada and Japan only], AROAPOC3-3003, AROAPOC3-3004, or AROAPOC3-3009)."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 90 days after the EOS or the last dose of IMP, whichever is later. Male subjects must agree to use a condom during the study and for at least 90 days after the EOS or the last dose of IMP, whichever is later. Subjects must not donate sperm or eggs during the study and for at least 90 days after the EOS or last dose of IMP, whichever is later. Female subjects of childbearing potential on hormonal contraceptives must be stable on the medication for >1 menstrual cycle prior to Day 1 (V1)."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Subject was permanently discontinued from receiving IMP in the parent study due to elevated AST or ALT or due to HbA1c elevation that did not respond to antidiabetic regimen."}
