Summary

An overall study of the cardiovascular outcomes following treatment with ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established vascular disease. The main objective of this study is to assess the cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin. This trial includes 3 pre-defined glycemic sub-studies; 1. In participants receiving background insulin with or without metformin, 2. In participants receiving background sulfonylurea monotherapy, and 3. In participants receiving background metformin with sulfonylurea (all fully-enrolled).

Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 1 were in the overall study as well as a sub-study, if they met certain entry criteria. Participants enrolled following the start of Amendment 1 were only enrolled in the overall study. The sub-studies were the initial 18 weeks of the overall study period.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Ertugliflozin

Oral, once daily, for up to approximately 6 years

DRUG

Placebo

Matching placebo to ertugliflozin administered orally, once daily, for up to approximately 6 years

DRUG

Glycemic Rescue

Doses of background anti-hyperglycemic agents (AHA), medications will be required to be held constant in all participants enrolled for the initial 18 weeks of the trial with 2 exceptions: First, participant will be prescribed glycemic rescue therapy if they meet specific, progressively more stringent, glycemic thresholds based on repeated, confirmed fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measured at a central laboratory. Second, a participant experiencing clinically significant hypoglycemia according to the investigator at any time during the trial is permitted to have the dose of appropriate background AHA (e.g., insulin, sulfonylurea \[SU\], glinide) reduced or discontinued as per the judgment of the investigator or the treating physician. Choice and dosing of glycemic rescue will be at the discretion of the investigator or the treating physician consistent with standards of care for management of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the country of the investigational site.
