Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Brief summary

This is a safety and efficacy study of ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) in the treatment of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin and sitagliptin. The primary objective of the trial is to assess the hemoglobin A1C (A1C)-lowering efficacy of the addition of ertugliflozin compared to the addition of placebo with an underlying hypothesis that addition of treatment with ertugliflozin provides greater reduction in A1C compared with the addition of placebo; the primary objective will be tested for both 5-mg and 15-mg doses of ertugliflozin.

Detailed description

The duration of the trial will be approximately 69 weeks. This will include a 1-week Screening Period, an up to 12-week wash-off/titration /dose-stabilization period, a 2-week single-blind, placebo run-in period, a 52-week double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period (including a 26-week Phase A and 26-week Phase B), and a post-treatment telephone contact 14 days after the last dose of blinded investigational product.

Interventions

Ertugliflozin, oral, 5 mg tablet once daily for 52 weeks

Ertugliflozin, oral, 5 mg and 10 mg tablet once daily for 52 weeks

DRUGPlacebo for ertugliflozin 5 mg

Matching placebo for ertugliflozin 5 mg, oral, once daily for 52 weeks

DRUGMetformin

Participants are to remain on their stable doses of metformin (oral, \>=1500 mg/day) while receiving blinded investigational product during the double-blind treatment period.

DRUGSitagliptin

Participants are to remain on their stable doses of sitagliptin (oral, 100 mg once daily) while receiving blinded investigational product during the double-blind treatment period.

DRUGGlimepiride

Glimepiride rescue medication, oral, once daily, open-label glimepiride; dose determined per the investigator's discretion

BIOLOGICALInsulin

Insulin glargine rescue medication, injectable, as required. In the event that an investigator considers use of glimepiride to not be appropriate for a participant meeting protocol specified glycemic rescue criteria, insulin glargine can be initiated as the rescue medication, and managed by the investigator according to clinical practice guidelines of the local country.

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C at Week 52

A1C is measured as percent. Thus this change from baseline reflects the Week 52 A1C percent minus the Week 0 A1C percent. Laboratory measurements were performed after an overnight fast ≥10 hours in duration. Data presented exclude data following the initiation of rescue therapy.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 52

Population: Analysis population included all randomized participants who took at least one dose of study medication and had at least one A1C measurement (baseline or post-baseline).

Change From Baseline in HOMA-%β at Week 26

HOMA-%β is a well-accepted means of assessing fasting β-cell function, and is calculated using measured C-peptide and glucose levels and is measured as a percentage of a normal reference population. HOMA-%β = \[20 x fasting insulin (μU/mL)\] / \[fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) - 3.5\]. Data presented exclude data following the initiation of rescue therapy.
