Brief Summary

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

This study will examine the effect of ezetimibe on glucose metabolism in participants with Type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.The primary hypothesis is that change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline in the ezetimibe treatment group will be non-inferior to the placebo control group.
