Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled (during the Qualifying Period) at a total of 112 study sites in Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico, South Africa, and the United States. The first participant was screened on 28 June 2012. The last participant observation occurred on 01 October 2013.

580 participants entered the qualifying period; 442 participants were randomized and treated, and comprise the Safety Analysis Set. Of these, 20 participants were excluded due to major eligibility criteria protocol violation or because the participant had no postbaseline data; the remaining 422 participants comprise the Full Analysis Set.

Placebo+Metformin
Qualifying period: Metformin 1000 mg (2 x 500 mg tablets) twice daily plus placebo to match ranolazine twice daily for either 2 or 8 weeks (dependent on metformin dose and HbA1c level at Screening) and participants who were ≥ 80% compliant and meeting eligibility criteria continued to the treatment period. Treatment period: Metformin 1000 mg (2 x 500 mg tablets) twice daily plus placebo to match ranolazine twice daily through Week 24. Participants were required to maintain their diet and exercise regimen.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline; Week 24

Population: Participants in the Full Analysis Set (randomized participants who received ≥ 1 dose of study treatment with a baseline and at least one postbaseline measurement of HbA1c, excluding participants with major eligibility violations, and analyzed based on randomized treatment, regardless of actual treatment received) with available data were analyzed.

The average (mean) change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 was analyzed.
