What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
To assess the efficacy of dapagliflozin compared to placebo as add-on therapy to glimepiride in improving glycemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes, as determined by the change in HbA1C levels from baseline to the end of the 24-week double-blind treatment period.
Baseline to Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reduction in body weight or less weight gain after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
Baseline to Week 24
Adjusted Mean Change in 2-h Post-challenge Plasma Glucose Rise
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in the 2-h post-challenge plasma glucose rise as a response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) from baseline to Week 24.
Baseline to Week 24
Proportion of Participants Achieving Glycemic Response Defined as HbA1c <7%
Time Frame: At Week 24
To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in a larger proportion of participants achieving a therapeutic glycemic response, defined as HbA1c < 7% after 24 weeks of treatment, compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
At Week 24
Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight for Participants With Baseline Body Mass Index (BMI)≥27 kg/m2
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in body weight or less weight gain in participants with baseline BMI ≥27 kg/m2 after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
Baseline to Week 24
Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride leads to greater reductions in FPG after 24 weeks of treatment compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
Baseline to Week 24
