Summary

This is an efficacy and safety study of ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy. The primary study hypothesis is that at Week 26, the mean reduction from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo.

Ertugliflozin 5 mg

Ertugliflozin 5 mg orally (1 ertugliflozin 5 mg tablet and 1 placebo ertugliflozin 10 mg tablet), once daily from Day 1 to Week 104.

DRUG

Ertugliflozin 15 mg

Ertugliflozin 15 mg orally (1 ertugliflozin 5 mg tablet and 1 ertugliflozin 10 mg tablet), once daily from Day 1 to Week 104.

DRUG

Placebo to Ertugliflozin

Placebo to ertuglioflozin (1 placebo ertugliflozin 5 mg tablet and/or 1 placebo ertugliflozin 10 mg tablet), orally once daily from Day 1 to Week 104.

OTHER

Glimepiride

Open-label Glimepiride will be used for glycemic rescue therapy (up to a maximum of 6 or 8 mg per day, based on the local label of glimepiride) in the 26-week initial period. Blinded Glimepiride (up to a maximum of 6 or 8 mg per day, based on the local label of glimepiride will be used in the 78-week extension period in participants who were not rescued with open-label glimepiride during the 26-week initial period.

DRUG

Placebo to Glimepiride

Placebo to glimepiride will be used in the 78-week extension period in participants who were not rescued with open-label glimepiride during the 26-week initial period. Dosing and titration of placebo to glimepiride is at the discretion of the investigator.

BIOLOGICAL

Basal Insulin

Basal insulin will be administered in the initial 26-week period for participants with glucose values exceeding protocol-specified values and for participants requiring rescue therapy in the 78-week extension period. Dosing and titration of basal insulin is at the discretion of the Investigator.
