Primary Outcome(s)

Primary end point(s): The primary outcome variable is the change in A1C from baseline to the end of the 24-week double-blind treatment period.

Secondary Objective: Key secondary objectives
- To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in body
weight or less weight gain after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in the 2-h
post-challenge plasma glucose level as a response to an oral glucose tolerance test
(OGTT) from baseline to Week 24.
- To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in a larger proportion of subjects
achieving an A1C < 7% after 24 weeks of treatment compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in body
weight or less weight gain in subjects with baseline BMI = 27 kg/m2 after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride leads to greater reductions in FPG after 24 weeks of treatment compared to placebo plus glimepiride.

Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of dapagliflozin compared to placebo as add-on therapy to glimepiride in improving glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes, as determined by the change in A1C levels from baseline to Week 24.
