1.Provision of a written informed consent at Visit 1
2.Men or women who are =18 years of age at time of consenting upon Visit 1
3.Female patients who are post menopausal, have undergone a hysterectomy, or if of childbearing potential, are using an effective method of birth control
Post menopausal patients are defined as patients with:
-Natural or induced menopause with last menstruation >1 year ago, or
-Bilateral oophorectomy
A highly effective method of birth control is defined as combination oral contraceptive, implant, long term injectable contraceptive, intrauterine device or tubal ligation. However, female patients using oestrogen containing hormonal anti conception methods (oral, transdermal, vaginal ring or combination injectables) must agree to use an additional anti conception method.
4.Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. For patients <30 years the C-peptide level in conjunction with the onset of diabetes should be >0.8 ng/mL, 0.27 nmol/L.
5.FPG =13.3 mmol/L, 240 mg/dL
6.Treated with metformin alone for the last three months or more, or treated with metformin for the last three months plus one additional oral anti-diabetic agent in low dose (maximal daily dose of metformin 2.7 g/day). The additional anti-diabetic medication is required to be discontinued at the enrolment visit. The low doses of additional anti-diabetic medication are defined as a maximal daily dose of sulphonylurea comparable to glibenclamide/glyburide 5 mg (corresponding to 3.5 mg of Swedish microcristal form of glibenclamide), meglitinide comparable to repaglinide 1.5 mg or alpha-glucosidase inhibitors comparable to acarbose 150 mg.
Inclusion criteria at randomisation (Visit 2):
7.HbA1c =8.5 %
8.Mean FPG of two measurements (values from Visit 1 and 2, measured capillary) =11.7 mmol/L, 210 mg/dL
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
1.Type 1 diabetes, history of diabetic ketoacidosis, or corticosteroid-induced type 2 diabetes
2.Active arterial disease such as unstable angina, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial or peripheral vascular disease revascularization or angioplasty within 24 weeks prior to Visit 1
3.Pre-existing chronic heart failure (NYHA class I-IV)
4.High blood pressure (mean systolic blood pressure =160 mm Hg, mean diastolic blood pressure =90 mm Hg after 3 repeated measurements) with or without anti-hypertensive treatment.
5.History of thyroid ophthalmopathy
6.History of malignancy within the last 5 years, excluding successful treatment of basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma
7.History of blood lipid induced eruptive xanthomas, or hypertriglyceridaemia induced pancreatitis

9.Other conditions predisposing for development of lactatic acidosis, eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
10.Pregnant or breastfeeding patients
11.Suspicion that the patient is infected according to World Health Organisation (WHO) risk categories 2 to 4 (See Appendix C)
12.Treatment of type 2 diabetes with combination therapy (ie, additional antidiabetic agents, except low dose of 1 oral antidiabetic agent, see Section 3.4.5)
13.Treatment with chronic insulin, within 24 weeks prior to Visit 1 (however, 1 temporary period of daily insulin injections no longer than 7 days is allowed)
14.Treatment with a thiazolidinedione (eg, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone) within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
15.Treatment with fibrates, within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
16.Treatment with glucocorticoids (equivalent to oral prednisolone >10 mg per day), within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1
17.Treatment with probenecid that can not be stopped at Visit 1
18.History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to any PPAR agonist
19.History of drug-induced myopathy or drug-induced CK elevation
20.History of drug-induced liver enzyme elevations
21.History of drug-induced neutropenia
22.History of alcohol or drug abuse within the last 5 years
23.Other serious or unstable medical or psychological condition identified in the patients’ medical history that, in the judgement of the investigator, would compromise the patients’ safety or successful participation in the Clinical Study
24.Receiving any investigational product during the last 12 weeks prior to Visit 1
25.Previous enrolment in this study
26.Any clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examinations, laboratory tests or ECG, which in the judgement of the investigator would compromise the patients’ safety or successful participation in the Clinical Study
27.Other serious or unstable medical or psychological condition identified in the patients’ medical history that, in the judgement of the investigator, would compromise the patients’ safety or successful participation in the Clinical Study
