E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients must meet all of the following criteria to participate in the study. At Visit 1 /Screening Visit 1. Patient has T2DM and is ≥18 and ≤79 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent form. 2. Patient is on a stable dose of metformin monotherapy at a dose of at least 1500 mg per day for at least 12 weeks and has an A1C ≥7.0% and ≤11.0% at Visit 1/ Screening Visit. 3. Patient is a male, or a female who is highly unlikely to conceive as indicated by at least one "yes" answer to the following questions: a. Patient is a female who is not of reproductive potential. A female patient who is not of reproductive potential is defined as one who has either (1) reached natural menopause (defined as ≥6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum FSH levels in the postmenopausal range as determined by the laboratory, or ≥12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea in women >45 years of age), or (2) undergone bilateral oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation. b. Patient is of reproductive potential and agrees to remain abstinent (where approved by IRB/ERCs as method of contraception) or use (or have their partner use) an acceptable method of birth control within the projected duration of the study and for 14 days after the last dose of study medication. Acceptable methods of birth control are: hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), diaphragm with spermicide, contraceptive sponge, condom, vasectomy. 4. Patient understands the study procedures, alternative treatments available, and risks involved with the study, and voluntarily agrees to participate by giving informed written consent. 5. Patient is deemed capable by the investigator of using a liraglutide pen device. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
At Visit 1/ Screening Visit 1. Patient has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus or a history of ketoacidosis or patient is assessed by the investigator as possibly having type 1 diabetes mellitus confirmed with a C-peptide <0.7 ng/mL (<0.23 nmol/L). 2. Patient has been treated with any AHA therapies other than metformin monotherapy within the prior 12 weeks of Visit 1/Screening Visit. 3. Patient is currently participating in or has participated in another study with an investigational compound or device within the prior 12 weeks of signing the informed consent or does not agree to refrain from participating in any other study while
participating in this study. 4. Patient has a history of hypersensitivity or any contraindication to sitagliptin, liraglutide, glimepiride, or metformin based upon the labels of the country of the investigational site. 5. Patient is on a weight loss program and not in the maintenance phase or has started a weight loss medication (such as orlistat or phentermine) within the prior 8 weeks. 6. Patient has undergone surgery within the prior 4 weeks or has major surgery planned during the study. 7. Patient is on or is likely to require treatment with ≥14 consecutive days or repeated courses of pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids. 8. Patient has new or worsening signs or symptoms of coronary heart disease within the past 3 months, or had any of the following within the past 3 months: a. Acute coronary syndrome (such as myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina) b. Coronary artery intervention (CABG or PTCA) c. Stroke or transient ischemic neurological disorder 9. Patient has severe active peripheral vascular disease (such as manifested by claudication with minimal activity, a non-healing ischemic ulcer, or disease which is likely to require intervention such as with bypass or angioplasty). 10. Patient has a history of malignancy or clinically important hematological disorder which requires disease-specific treatment (e.g., chemo- or radiation-therapy or surgery) or, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to recur during the duration of the study. 11. Patient has a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). 12. Patient has exclusionary laboratory values. 13. Patient is pregnant (assessed by urine pregnancy test) or breastfeeding or is intending to become pregnant or donate eggs within the projected duration of the study and poststudy follow-up period. 14. Patient is, at the time of signing informed consent, a user of recreational or illicit drugs or has had a recent history (within the last year) of drug abuse or increased alcohol consumption. 15. Patient has a history or new evidence of any condition, laboratory abnormality or other circumstance that will require intervention during the study, or that might confound the results of the study, or interfere with the patient’s participation for the full duration of the study. At Visit 2/Day 1 16. Patient has a history or new evidence of any condition, laboratory abnormality or other circumstance that will require intervention during the study, or that might confound the results of the study, or interfere with the patient’s participation for the full duration of the study. 17. Patient has a positive urine pregnancy test. 18. Patient has a FFSG ≥270 mg/dL (>15.0 mmol/L). |
