Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare effect of Saxagliptin as add-on to Metformin on 24-hour mean weighted glucose (MWG) to the effect of uptitrating Metformin in subjects with T2DM inadequately controlled on metformin alone.

Primary Outcome

Adjusted mean change from baseline in MWG achieved with saxagliptin 5 mg plus metformin XR versus placebo plus metformin XR at Week 24. MWG was calculated as the area under the curve (AUC) for the full 24 hours expressed as average mg/dL. Glucose measurements were collected 30 minutes before and just prior to each meal (0 minutes) and 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes after each meal (with 1 additional measurement at 240 minutes after the evening meal), midnight, 3 AM, and at end-of-domicile visit 24
