Conditions

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Brief summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects on glucose control of AC2993 as compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized into one of two AC2993 treatment arms or to placebo treatment and will continue with their required existing diabetes medication (metformin) throughout the study.

Interventions
