E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
The study will be performed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and high cardiovascular risk who have insufficient glycaemic control despite diet and exercise and are either treatment naïve or receiving any antidiabetic background therapy. Drug-naïve is defined as absence of any antidiabetic therapy for 12 weeks prior to randomisation.
