Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00316082
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to understand if saxagliptin is more effective than placebo as a treatment for type 2 diabetic subjects who are not controlled with diet and exercise

Detailed Description

All subjects will participate in a lead-in period, and qualifying subjects will continue into a short-term randomized treatment period. Subjects who complete the short-term period will be eligible to enter the long term extension period. Also, subjects in the short-term period who have an elevated blood sugar that requires additional medication for blood sugar control will be eligible to enter the long-term treatment extension period where they will receive metformin (rescue medication) added onto their blinded study medication
