Brief Summary

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

To compare a therapeutic strategy combining vildagliptin+metformin + Basal Insulin versus SU+metformin + Basal Insulin on the incidence of hypoglycemic events over 24 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study, conducted in T2DM patients failing a dual therapy with metformin/SU in whom the decision to start basal insulin has been taken, will compare vildagliptin+metformin versus the previously used SU+met combination (regimen kept unchanged) in association with basal insulin, up-titrated as per usual algorithms primarily based on FPG to obtain a similar improvement in glycemic control in both arms, on the incidence of hypoglycemic episodes over 24 weeks.
