Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) at Week 24 (Combined Ertugliflozin Versus Placebo)
Baseline and Week 24

Hemoglobin A1C is a measure of the percentage of glycated HbA1C in the blood. Participant whole blood samples were collected at baseline and Week 24 to determine the A1C change from baseline (i.e., % A1C at Week 24 minus % A1C at baseline). A negative number indicates a reduction in A1C level. Participants who met glycemic rescue criteria received glycemic rescue medication. The Bayesian mean change from baseline for each combined ertugliflozin and placebo are reported. Per protocol, the ertugliflozin arms are combined for this analysis.

Change From Baseline in A1C (%) at Week 26 (Excluding Rescue Approach)
Baseline and Week 26

A1C is blood marker used to report average blood glucose levels over prolonged periods of time. Percentage A1C is the ratio of glycated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin x 100. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 26 A1C minus the Week 0 A1C (which is estimated on average for each treatment group using a constrained longitudinal data analysis model, which allows for participants with missing data to be included in the analysis). Participants who met pre-specified glycemic criteria were rescued with oral tablets of open-label glimepiride and dosed according to Investigator judgment. Per protocol, this data set excludes data for any participant after the initiation of glycemic rescue therapy.

Glycemic RescueDRUGDoses of background anti-hyperglycemic agents (AHA), medications will be required to be held constant in all participants enrolled for the initial 18 weeks of the trial with 2 exceptions: First, participant will be prescribed glycemic rescue therapy if they meet specific, progressively more stringent, glycemic thresholds based on repeated, confirmed fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measured at a central laboratory. Second, a participant experiencing clinically significant hypoglycemia according to the investigator at any time during the trial is permitted to have the dose of appropriate background AHA (e.g., insulin, sulfonylurea \[SU\], glinide) reduced or discontinued as per the judgment of the investigator or the treating physician. Choice and dosing of glycemic rescue will be at the discretion of the investigator or the treating physician consistent with standards of care for management of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the country of the investigational site.
Placebo to MetforminDRUG1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening for 2 weeks, 2 tablets in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening for 2 weeks and 2 tablets in the morning and 2 tablets in the evening, thereafter.
