Efficacy and Safety of Efpeglenatide Versus Placebo in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Metformin Alone or in Combination With Sulfonylurea

Stopped early · Phase 3 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin alone or in combination with sulfonylurea (SU). Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on glycemic control. * To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to placebo on body weight. * To evaluate the safety of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide.
