Participant Flow

The trial was conducted at 23 sites in China.

Between screening and treatment with trial drug the participants were assessed for eligibility and were randomised to one of two treatment arms. A sub-group of 69 participants was recruited for intravenous glucose tolerance test and randomised into the repaglinide treatment group (35 participants) and gliclazide treatment group (34 participants)

Population: Safety analysis set contains all randomised participants exposed to at least one dose of trial drug(s). One participant was randomised into repaglinide group, but was dispensed gliclazide from the very beginning of the study due to the investigator's negligence. This participant continued the gliclazide treatment until the end of the study.

A hypoglycaemic episode was defined as treatment emergent if the onset of the episode was on or after the first day of trial product and no later than the last day of the trial product.
