Evaluation of Dapagliflozin Taken Twice-daily

October 16, 2014 updated by: AstraZeneca

A 16-week, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Dapagliflozin 2.5 mg BID, 5 mg BID and 10 mg QD Versus Placebo in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Are Inadequately Controlled on Metformin-IR Monotherapy

This study is being carried out to see if dapagliflozin - administered in a daily dose of 2.5 mg given twice a day or 5 mg twice a day or 10mg once daily - in addition to metformin, is beneficial in diabetes treatment, and if so, how it compares to treatment with metformin alone.
