Study of Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin XR to Initiate the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

AstraZeneca1,093 enrolled

Overview

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1C achieved with dapagliflozin 10 mg in combination with metformin XR as compared with metformin XR monotherapy and compared with Dapagliflozin monotherapy, after 24 weeks of oral administration of double-blind treatment. The safety of treatment with dapagliflozin will also be assessed in this study

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 24 (Last Observation Carried Forward) - Randomized Treated Participants

Adjusted mean change in HbA1c from baseline at Week 24 (or the last post-baseline measurement prior to Week 24 if no Week 24 assessment was available, ie, last observation carried forward (LOCF) was determined. HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. Data after rescue medication was excluded from this analysis. Baseline was defined as the last assessment prior to the start date and time of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. In cases where time of the first dose or time of the assessment was not available, baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. HbA1c measurements were obtained during the Qualification and Lead-In Periods and on Day 1 and Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 in the Double-Blind Period.

Time frame: Week 24

In cases where time of the first dose or time of the assessment was not available, baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. FPG measurements were obtained during the Qualification and Lead-In Periods and on Day 1 and Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 of the Double-Blind Period.

Time frame: Week 24

Percent Adjusted for Baseline HbA1c of Participants Achieving a Therapeutic Glycemic Response at Week 24 (LOCF) - Randomized, Treated Participants

Therapeutic glycemic response was defined as HbA1c less than 7.0%. n=Number of participants with HBA1c less than (\<) 7 % at Week 24, last observation carried forward (LOCF) while N=number of randomized participants with non-missing baseline and Week 24 (LOCF) values. Percent=n/N and was adjusted for Baseline HbA1c. Data after rescue medication was excluded from this analysis. HbA1c was measured as a percent of hemoglobin.

Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in HbA1C at Week 24 (LOCF) in Participants Whose Baseline HbA1C Category ≥9.0%

HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. The population included those randomized, treated participants whose Baseline HbA1c was greater than, equal to (\>=) 9.0%. Data after rescue medication was excluded from this analysis. Baseline was defined as the last assessment prior to the start date and time of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. In cases where time of the first dose or time of the assessment was not available, baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication.
