- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
