- Registration Number
- NCT01472185
- Lead Sponsor
- Gilead Sciences
- Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to determine the effect of ranolazine when given as monotherapy on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone and who are treatment naive to antihyperglycemic therapy or have not received antihyperglycemic therapy in the 90 days (or thiazolidinediones \[TZDs\] for at least 24 weeks) prior to screening, and to characterize the relationship between HbA1c reduction and other glycemic parameters in subjects with T2DM.

- Weight-loss medication or anti-obesity medication (prescription or nonprescription) < 3 months prior to screening
- Treatment with niacin > 200 mg daily; if receiving ≤ 200 mg daily, should be on stable doses for ≥ 90 days prior to screening and for the duration of the study
- Expected or current treatment with systemic corticosteroids (oral or injectable) for > 14 days from screening through the end of the Treatment Period. Topical or inhaled corticosteroid formulations are permitted at any time during the study
