- Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To assess the efficacy of dapagliflozin compared to placebo as add-on therapy to glimepiride in improving glycemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes, as determined by the change in HbA1C levels from baseline to the end of the 24-week double-blind treatment period.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reduction in body weight or less weight gain after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- Adjusted Mean Change in 2-h Post-challenge Plasma Glucose Rise [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in the 2-h post-challenge plasma glucose rise as a response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) from baseline to Week 24.
- Proportion of Participants Achieving Glycemic Response Defined as HbA1c <7% [ Time Frame: At Week 24 ]To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in a larger proportion of participants achieving a therapeutic glycemic response, defined as HbA1c < 7% after 24 weeks of treatment, compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight for Participants With Baseline Body Mass Index (BMI)≥27 kg/m2 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride results in greater reductions in body weight or less weight gain in participants with baseline BMI ≥27 kg/m2 after 24 weeks of treatment when compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To show that dapagliflozin plus glimepiride leads to greater reductions in FPG after 24 weeks of treatment compared to placebo plus glimepiride.
