A Study Investigating Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of GSK2330672 Administered With Metformin to Type 2 Diabetes Patients

A Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Repeat Dose, Double Blind (Sponsor Unblind) Study Investigating Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of GSK2330672 Administered With Metformin to Type 2 Diabetes Patients

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GSK2330672 compared to sitagliptin when administered with metformin for 14 days to subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Approximately 72 male and female subjects aged 30-64 years with T2DM and currently taking metformin will be recruited for this study. Eligible subjects will begin a run-in period of 13-15 days to stabilize on metformin 850 milligram (mg) twice a day (BID). Subjects will then be randomized to GSK2330672 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 90 mg, matching placebo or open-label sitagliptin 50 mg for 14 days BID. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit 7-10 days after discharge.

The investigator should make an effort to obtain documentation of medical history or prescription of metformin to substantiate the diagnosis of T2DM
• Fasting plasma glucose <280 milligram per deciliter (mg/dl) at screening. A subject with a fasting plasma glucose at Day 1 that is more than 100 mg/dl lower than the screening value must not be randomized
• All T2DM subjects must meet the label recommendations for metformin and sitagliptin, including: Adequate renal function, as evidenced by an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 80 milliliter per minute (mL/min) using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation or chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula in the study procedures manual (SPM); No conditions which make hypoxia, dehydration, or sepsis likely; No cardiac disease (including no history of myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, or heart failure)
• Body mass index (BMI) within the range 24 - 40 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2) (inclusive)
• Other than T2DM, subjects should be in good general health with (in the opinion of the investigator) no clinically significant and relevant abnormalities of medical history or physical examination that would introduce additional risk factors or interfere with study procedures or objectives, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and laboratory tests
• A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential defined as: Pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy [for this definition, "documented" refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee's review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject's medical records]; OR Postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea. In questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 million international units (MlU)/mL and estradiol < 40 picogram (pg)/mL (<147 picomol per liter) is confirmatory. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods as described by the Investigator/designee, if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Derived Plasma Glucose Parameter Over a 24-hour Period-fasting and Weighted Mean Glucose Area Under Curve (AUC[0-24 Hour])	The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline values from the individual post-Baseline values. Baseline was defined as pre-dose Day -1 value. It was assessed on Baseline, Day 7 and 14. Data for fasting and weighted mean (WM) AUC(0-24 hour) glucose is provided. Statistics for least square mean is provided and participants withdrawing early were excluded. Results were based on an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model: change from Baseline = Baseline + treatment.	Baseline (Day -1) and Day 14 (Fasting Pre-dose [within 15 minutes of dose], 30 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 [pre-lunch], 5.5, 10 [pre-dinner], 11.5, 14 [bed time] and 24 hours) and Day 7 (30 minutes, 2, 4 [pre-lunch], 5.5, 10 [pre-dinner], 11.5, and 24 hours)
Number of Participants With Incidence and Nature of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence (MO) in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product (MP), whether or not considered related to the MP and can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with its use. The SAE was any untoward MO that, at any dose, results in death, life threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in or prolongs inpatient hospitalization, congenital abnormality or birth defect, that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in this definition and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >= 3× upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin >=2 × ULN (>35% direct) or ALT >=3 × ULN and international normalized ratio >1.5.	Up to 14 days (treatment period)

Up to Day 15
Number of Participants With Abnormal Urinalysis Data	Urinalysis included urine occult blood: trace to 3+, glucose: negative to 3+, protein: negative to 2+ and ketones: trace to negative by dipstick and microscopic examination included cast, cellular cast, granular cast, hyaline cast (none seen to 1) and RBC: 0-2, 3-10, 11-30, >30, WBC: none seen, 0-5, 1, 2, 4, <5, 6-10, 11-30, 19, >30). The plus sign increases with a higher level of occult blood, glucose, ketones, proteins, RBC, WBC in the urine: 1+: slightly positive, 2+: positive, 3+: high positive. Participants were categorized as none seen or 1 based on the absence or presence, respectively, of cast, cellular cast, granular cast and hyaline cast. Higher value indicates higher abnormality.	Baseline (pre-dose Day -1), Day 7 and 15
Summary of Urinalysis Data-mean Specific Gravity	Data for mean specific gravity is provided. Specific gravity is a measure of the amount of material dissolved in the urine. Specific gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density (mass of the same unit volume) of a reference substance. Normal urine has a specific gravity between 1.010 and 1.020.	Baseline (pre-dose Day -1), Day 7 and 15
Summary of Urinalysis Data-mean pH	Urine pH is an acid-base measurement. pH is measured on a numeric scale ranging from 0 to 14; values on the scale refer to the degree of alkalinity or acidity. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. Normal urine has a slightly acid pH (5.0 - 6.0).	Baseline (pre-dose Day -1), Day 7 and 15
Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings Any Time Post-Baseline	Single 12-lead ECGs was obtained at each time point during the study using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals.

Number of Participants With Gastrointestinal Tolerability Assessments as Rated Using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS; With Worsening Symptoms >=2 Levels)	GSRS is a rating scale consisting of 15 items. Each item was scored from 1: no discomfort at all, 2: minor discomfort, 3: mild discomfort, 4: moderate discomfort, 5: moderately severe discomfort, 6: severe discomfort, 7: very severe discomfort. The overall GSRS score is the mean of these 15 items, varying from 1 to 7; a score of 1 indicates that no symptoms are present, and a score of 7 indicates the worst possible degree of all symptoms. A higher score relative to Baseline indicates worsening of severity. There were 5 defined syndrome scores and 1 overall score that was derived by computing the mean of the scores for specific subsets of questions as indicated below: abdominal pain (1, 4, 5); reflux syndrome (2, 3); diarrhea syndrome (11, 12, 14); indigestion syndrome (6, 7, 8, 9); constipation syndrome (10, 13, 15) and overall GSRS (1-15).
