Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Efficacy of BI 1356 compared to placebo in patients for whom metformin therapy is inappropriate (intolerability, contraindication). The second part of the study looks at the safety of BI 1356 in this patient population with longer term treatment in comparison to a sulfonylurea drug (glimepiride)
