Active Comparator: Glimepiride
Each patient will receive glimepiride, at protocol-specified doses, once daily in combination with protocol-specified doses of metformin for 104 weeks.
|
Drug: Glimepiride
Glimepiride will be given orally (by mouth), as over-encapsulated tablets, starting at a dose of 1mg once daily and increasing to a maximum of 6 mg or 8 mg once daily for 104 weeks.
Other Name: sulfonylurea Drug: Metformin Metformin will be given orally at the protocol-specified dose for 104 weeks. |
Experimental: Canagliflozin 100 mg
Each patient will receive 100 mg of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) once daily with protocol-specified doses of metformin for 104 weeks.
|
Drug: Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754)
Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) will be given orally as over-encapsulated tablets, at a dose of 100 mg or 300 mg once daily for 104 weeks. Drug: Metformin Metformin will be given orally at the protocol-specified dose for 104 weeks. |
Experimental: Canagliflozin 300 mg
Each volunteer will receive 300 mg of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) once daily with protocol-specified doses of metformin for 104 weeks.
|
Drug: Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754)
Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) will be given orally as over-encapsulated tablets, at a dose of 100 mg or 300 mg once daily for 104 weeks. Drug: Metformin Metformin will be given orally at the protocol-specified dose for 104 weeks. |
- Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 52 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 52 ]The table below shows the least-squares (LS) mean change in HbA1c from Baseline to Week 52 for each treatment group. The statistical analyses show the treatment differences (ie, each canagliflozin group minus glimepiride) in the LS mean change.
- Percentage of Patients Experiencing at Least 1 Hypoglycemic Event From Baseline to Week 52 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 52 ]The table below shows the percentage of patients who experienced at least 1 documented hypoglycemic event from Baseline to Week 52 for each treatment group. The statistical analyses show the treatment differences (ie, each canagliflozin group minus glimepiride) in percentages.
- Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 52 [ Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Week 52 ]The table below shows the least-squares (LS) mean percent change in body weight from Baseline to Week 52 for each treatment group. The statistical analyses show the treatment differences (ie, each canagliflozin group minus glimepiride) in the LS mean percent change.
- Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 104 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 104 ]The table below shows the least-squares (LS) mean change in HbA1c from Baseline to Week 104 for each treatment group. The statistical analyses show the treatment differences (ie, each canagliflozin group minus glimepiride) in the LS mean change.
