A Study of Taspoglutide Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Diet and Exercise.

July 26, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Effect of Taspoglutide Compared to Placebo, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Diet and Exercise

This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms: taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly, taspoglutide 20mg sc once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly) or placebo. After the first 24 weeks patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
