Participant Flow

First participant enrolled: 13 Feb 2009. Last participant completed 24 week period: 03 Jun 2010. 314 participants were enrolled, 182 were randomized in 40 centers in 5 European countries. Men aged 30-75 years and women aged 55-75 years with inadequate glycemic control (HbA1c 6.5% to 8.5%), BMI of at least 25 kg/sqm and body weight \<= 120 kg.

During a placebo lead-in period, participants were counselled on dietary and life-style modifications. The metformin dose was adjusted to open label 1500 mg/day, 2000 mg/day or 2500 mg/day. Neither gender should exceed 60% of the total number of randomized participants.
