Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 24 Provided That it is Prior to Rescue
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 (prior to rescue)
To evaluate the efficacy of the combination therapy (saxagliptin + metformin) when compared to placebo + metformin and placebo + saxagliptin with respect to reduction in HbA1c (%) at the end of 24 weeks of double-blinded treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Glycemic Response Defined as HbA1c < 7.0% at Week 24(Week 24 (prior to rescue))
- Change From Baseline to Week 24 (Prior to Rescue) in Fasting Plasma Glucose(Baseline to Week 24 prior to rescue)
- Patients Rescued for Failing to Achieve Pre-specified Glycemic Targets or Discontinuation for Lack of Efficacy During the 24-week Double-blind Treatment Phase(Baseline to Week 24)
- Change From Baseline to Week 24 (Prior to Rescue) in Area Under the Curve From 0-180 Minutes for Postprandial Glucose Response to a Meal Tolerance Test(Baseline to Week 24 prior to rescue)
- Glycemic Response Defined as HbA1c ≤ 6.5% at Week 24(Week 24 (prior to rescue))
- Change From Baseline to Week 24 in 120-minute Postprandial Glucose Response to a Meal Tolerance Test(Baseline to Week 24 prior to rescue)
