Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 18 investigative sites in the United States, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Canada from 19 April 2013 to 11 February 2014.

Participants with a historical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), inadequately controlled when treated with only diet, exercise and a sulfonylurea for at least 12 weeks prior to screening, were enrolled in 1 of 2 treatment groups: placebo; fasiglifam 50 milligram (mg).
