Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

March 10, 2015 updated by: AstraZeneca

A 52-Week International, Multi-centre, Randomised, Parallel-group, Double-blind, Active-controlled, Phase III Study With a 156-Week Extension Period to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin Compared With Sulphonylurea in Combination With Metformin in Adult Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycaemic Control on Metformin Therapy Alone.

This study is being carried out to see if dapagliflozin as an addition to metformin is effective and safe in treating patients with type 2 diabetes when compared to glipizide (sulphonylurea) as an addition to metformin treatment.

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52

Proportion of Participants With at Least One Episode of Hypoglycemia
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52

Baseline to Week 52
Proportion of Participants With Body Weight Reduction of at Least 5%
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52
To evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin plus metformin compared to glipizide plus metformin on body weight assessed by a reduction after 52 weeks of at least 5% compared to baseline. Least Squares Mean represents the percent of participants adjusted for baseline value.
