Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bexagliflozin is an orally administered drug for the treatment of T2DM and is classified as a Sodium Glucose co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitor. This study was to enroll both treatment naive and those subjects previously treated with one oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA). Approximately 320 subjects eligible for randomization was to receive bexagliflozin tablets, 5, 10, 20 mg or placebo, once daily for 12 weeks in an outpatient setting.
Detailed Description:
The study was a phase 2b multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study to assess the effect of once daily bexagliflozin tablets on HbA1c in either treatment-naïve T2DM subjects or in subjects who were treated with one oral anti-diabetic agent. Treatment naïve subjects were eligible if their HbA1c values were between 7% and 8.5% at the screening visit while subjects who were treated with one oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA) were eligible if their HbA1c value was between 6.5% and 8.5% at screening and underwent a 6 or 10 week washout period. In addition, all eligible subjects underwent a two week placebo run-in period and those who showed good compliance in taking study medication (i.e., missed no more than one dose during the run-in period) during this period and whose HbA1c values were between 7 and 8.5% at the end of the run-in period were eligible for randomization.
