Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy of Saxagliptin in Triple Therapy to Treat Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (NCT NCT01619059)

NCT ID: NCT01619059

Last Updated: 2016-04-22

Results Overview

HbA1c was measured as percent of hemoglobin by a central laboratory. Baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. HbA1c measurements were obtained at Week 24 in the double-blind period, including observations prior to rescue.
