Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
• Interventions: Drug: aleglitazar+metformin; Drug: placebo+metformin

• Registration Number: NCT01691846
• Lead Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Brief Summary

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aleglitazar plus metformin combination therapy compared with placebo plus metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive oral doses of 150 mcg aleglitazar once daily or placebo. The anticipated time on study treatment is 26 weeks.
