Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to: • Determine the effect of ranolazine on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) after 24 weeks of treatment when added to glimepiride in subjects who have inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) despite current treatment with stable sulfonylurea (SU) or metformin therapy in addition to diet and exercise;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are to: • Determine the effect of ranolazine when added to glimepiride on postprandial serum glucose (PPG) • Determine the effect of ranolazine when added to glimepiride on fasting serum glucose (FSG) The additional objectives of the study are to: • Evaluate the effect of ranolazine when added to glimepiride on each of the following parameters: serum C-peptide, serum insulin, and plasma glucagon • Evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ranolazine The safety objective of the study is to: • Evaluate the safety and tolerability of ranolazine when added to glimepiride in subjects who have inadequately controlled T2DM despite current treatment with stable SU or metformin therapy in addition to diet and exercise;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is the following: • Change from Baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 of Treatment Period;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary efficacy endpoints of this study are the following: • Change from Baseline in incremental change of 2-hour PPG at Week 24 •Change from Baseline in FSG at Week 24 or change from Baseline in 2-hour PPG at Week 24 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24
