Brief summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO5095932 in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients that are on stable metformin therapy are eligible to enter the study. There will be a 5-weeks exenatide run in period and a 5-weeks period when co-administered with the study drug.
