Ertugliflozin vs. Glimepiride in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Participants on Metformin (MK-8835-002)
Summary
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) compared with the addition of glimepiride in participants with T2DM who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin. The primary hypothesis of this study is that after 52 weeks, the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in participants treated with the addition of ertugliflozin 15 mg once daily is non-inferior compared with that in participants treated with the addition of glimepiride.

Outcome
Met primary endpoint
paper The between-group difference for ertugliflozin 15 mg and glimepiride of 0.1% (- 0.0, 0.2) met the pre-specified non-inferiority criterion. PMID 29282633 ↗
paper Ertugliflozin 15 mg was non-inferior to glimepiride in reducing HbA1c when added to metformin in patients with T2DM. PMID 29282633 ↗
