Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin compared to glimepiride as an add-on therapy to metformin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed Description

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

Approximately 420 subjects with inadequately controlled T2DM on metformin will be recruited from North America and Europe. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive bexagliflozin tablets, 20 mg, or glimepiride capsules, 2, 4 or 6 mg, in a ratio of 1:1 once daily for 96 weeks. Subjects will continue to take metformin for the duration of the study.
