The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of saxagliptin with those of placebo as add-on therapy to insulin and insulin with metformin in improving glycemic control at 24 and 52 weeks.

Enrollment
455
Saxagliptin, 5-mg tablets (plus stable insulin dose), given orally once daily (24 weeks short-term, 28 weeks long-term); participants stratified by use of stable metformin dose; flexible insulin dose (as needed for rescue)
Placebo tablets given orally once daily for 24 weeks (short-term period)+ insulin with metformin
Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in A1C Levels (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF])
Change from baseline: post-pre. Adjusted for baseline (value and metformin use). ANCOVA model: difference between week t and baseline values=baseline values + treatment + metformin use
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Change From Baseline in Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Area Under the Curve (AUC) Response to an Meal Tolerance Test (MTT)
An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Change From Baseline in 120-minute PPG Values During an MTT
An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose Values
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Therapeutic Glycemic Response
Therapeutic glycemic response is defined as an A1C\<7%. Significance was not interpreted with a p value.
Time frame: Baseline to Week 24
Change From Baseline in Mean Total Daily Dose of Insulin (MTDDI) (LOCF)
Based on information recorded in the participant's daily diary. The MTDDI was calculated at every visit using the values patients recorded since the last regularly scheduled visit (minimum of 80% of days with a value). At every visit, the MTDDI was compared with the participant's baseline MTDDI (measured during a 4-week lead-in period) to identify any changes in insulin use at that visit compared with insulin use at baseline.
