Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metformin PK Parameter AUC(0-inf)Periods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. AUC (0-inf) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time.

Metformin PK Parameter CmaxPeriods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. Cmax is the maximum observed concentration of drug substance in plasma.

Saxagliptin PK Parameter Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)Periods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. Cmax is the maximum observed concentration of drug substance in plasma.

Saxagliptin Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC[0-inf])Periods 1, 2, 3, & 4: pre-dosing, 15, 30, 45 mins & 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36 & 48 hrs post-dosing

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. AUC (0-inf) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time.

PK is the process by which a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body. AUC\[0-t\] is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration.

Safety: Adverse Events (AEs), Discontinuations Due to AEs, Deaths, and Serious AEs (SAEs).AEs: from study drug administration Day 1/Period 1 till study discharge. SAEs: from date of written consent until 30 days after discontinuation of dosing or study participation. Duration of the study was approximately 45 days (including screening).

AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a subject administered an investigational product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization (including elective surgery), results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

Safety: Clinically Significant Laboratory, Vital Sign, Physical Examination, and/or 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) AbnormalitiesFrom Day 1/Period 1 to study discharge or premature discontinuation. Duration of study was approximately 45 days (including screening).

Abnormalities that were considered clinically significant and/or reported as an AE by the investigator.
