Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of vildagliptin versus NPH insulin add-on to glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that do not reach adequate glycemic control on their current sulfonylurea monotherapy to give treating physicians a guidance which additional anti-diabetic treatment can be used if sulfonylurea monotherapy is not sufficient to reach glycemic control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vildagliptin

Patients randomized to the vildagliptin group will receive 50mg vildagliptin once daily add-on to their current glimepiride monotherapy for 24 weeks. No dose titrations are permitted during the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LAF237

Intervention Type DRUG

Vildagliptin will be used as commercially available tablets of 50mg.

Protaphane

Patients randomized to the Protaphane group will receive a individualized dose of Protaphane once daily as bedtime dose. The Protaphane dose will be titrated within the first 4 weeks to reach fasting plasma glucose values below 100 mg/dl.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
