Study Summary

Many people with type 2 diabetes cannot maintain target blood glucose levels when taking a single oral drug. The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of vildagliptin, an unapproved drug, compared to that of pioglitazone in lowering overall blood glucose levels when added to metformin in people with type 2 diabetes not at target blood glucose levels on metformin alone.
