Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin A1cRandomization to 69 weeksTo determine whether ITCA 650 is non-inferior either to empagliflozin or to glimepiride in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with T2D following 65 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of post treatment follow up.
Reduction in weightRandomization to 69 weeksTo determine whether ITCA 650 is non-inferior either to empagliflozin or to glimepiride in reducing weight in patients with T2D following 65 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of post treatment follow up.
