A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Vildagliptin on the Maximum Insulin Secretion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

May 4, 2012 updated by: Novartis

A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Effects of Vildagliptin on the Maximum Insulin Secretion in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Type 2 diabetes results when the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar. This study is designed to measure the effect of vildagliptin on the maximum insulin secretion by the pancreas.
