Drug: Glycemic Rescue
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01986881
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

An overall study of the cardiovascular outcomes following treatment with ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established vascular disease. The main objective of this study is to assess the cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin. This trial includes 3 pre-defined glycemic sub-studies; 1. In participants receiving background insulin with or without metformin, 2. In participants receiving background sulfonylurea monotherapy, and 3. In participants receiving background metformin with sulfonylurea (all fully-enrolled).

Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 1 were in the overall study as well as a sub-study, if they met certain entry criteria. Participants enrolled following the start of Amendment 1 were only enrolled in the overall study. The sub-studies were the initial 18 weeks of the overall study period.

Detailed Description

The primary hypotheses for the 4 studies are:

1. Overall Cardiovascular Study:

The time to first occurrence of the composite endpoint of MACE: cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction \[MI\] or non-fatal stroke in participants treated with ertugliflozin is non-inferior compared to that in participants treated with placebo.

2. The 3 Glycemic Sub-studies:

1. The mean reduction from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) for 15 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo.

2. The mean reduction from baseline in A1C for 5 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo.
