Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether Saxagliptin added to thiazolidinedione (TZD) therapy is more effective than TZD alone as a treatment for Type 2 diabetic subjects who are not sufficiently controlled with TZD alone

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Drug: Saxagliptin Drug: Placebo Drug: pioglitazone Drug: rosiglitazone Drug: metformin Phase 3

Detailed Description:
All subjects will participate in a lead-in period, and qualifying subjects will continue into a short-term randomized treatment period. Subjects who complete the short-term period will be eligible to enter the long term extension period. Also, subjects in the short-term period who have an elevated blood sugar that requires additional medication for blood sugar control will be eligible to enter the long-term treatment extension period where they will receive metformin (defined as rescue medication) added onto their blinded study medication

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline in A1C at Week 24, adjusted for baseline value.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline in FPG at Week 24, adjusted for baseline value.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving A1c <7% at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
    Percentage of participants achieving A1C < 7%, the American Diabetic Association's defined goal for glycemia, at each dose of saxagliptin plus TZD versus placebo plus TZD at Week 24.

  3. Changes From Baseline in Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Area Under the Curve (AUC) Response to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
    Mean change from baseline for 0 to 180 minutes PPG AUC achieved at each dose of saxagliptin plus TZD versus placebo plus TZD at Week 24, adjusted for baseline value.
