Conditions
Brief summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO5095932 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients will be randomized to receive either RO5095932 subcutaneously once weekly or placebo for 4 weeks (part 1) or 6 weeks (part 2), in addition to their current stable doses of metformin.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|

| Change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) | from baseline to week 6 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics: blood concentration of RO5095932 after multiple dosing | multiple sampling weeks 1-4 or 1-6 respectively, and weekly during follow-up |
