E.2 Objective of the trial |

• To assess the effect of canagliflozin relative to placebo on HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment. • To assess the safety and tolerability of canagliflozin
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
After 26 weeks of treatment, to assess the effect of canagliflozin relative to placebo on: •Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) •Proportion of subjects with HbA1c <7.0% and <6.5% •Body weight •Fasting plasma lipids (ie, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], total cholesterol, LDL-C to HDL-C ratio, and triglycerides) •Systolic and diastolic blood pressure •Time to rescue therapy and proportion of subjects receiving rescue therapy •Fasting measure of beta-cell function (ie, HOMA-B) After 52 weeks of treatment, to assess the effect of canagliflozin relative to placebo on: •Glycemic control (HbA1c and FPG) •Body weight •Proportion of subjects with HbA1c <7.0% and <6.5% •Fasting plasma lipids (ie, LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol, LDL-C to HDL-C ratio, and triglycerides) •Systolic and diastolic blood pressure •Time to rescue therapy and proportion of subjects receiving rescue therapy...

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
To augment information obtained from HbA1c and FPG, this study includes a frequently sampled standard meal tolerance test (FS MMTT) in approximately 25% of subjects with collection of post-meal glucose levels. This procedure will provide information on the effect of canagliflozin on post meal glucose as well as on measures of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. Additional measures of efficacy (ie, effect on body weight, serum lipids, and blood pressure) will be evaluated to identify additional treatment effects of canagliflozin on comorbidities often seen in patients with T2DM.
At Week 26, in a subset of subjects (~25% of total subjects) who undergo a frequently sampled mixed-meal tolerance test (FS MMTT), to assess the effect of canagliflozin relative to placebo on: • Post-prandial plasma glucose concentrations (including 2-hour PPG and glucose AUC) • Measures of insulin secretion (including insulinogenic index, AUC C peptide/AUC glucose, and parameters of beta-cell sensitivity derived from a model based assessment of insulin secretion rate relative to glucose concentrations) • Measures of insulin sensitivity using a minimal-model-based approach that accounts for UGE
