Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This was a phase III, randomized, open-label, two-arm, multicenter, parallel-group, active-controlled comparative study. The study is being conducted at total 18 geographically distributed centers in India. The study was initiated only after the receipt of Regulatory and Ethics Committee (EC) approvals. Total 440 patients were screened to randomize 395 patients from 18 geographically distributed centers in India.

The screening period was of 2 weeks. During screening period, after obtaining the written informed consent, patients were screened by undergoing various assessments as mentioned in Schedule of Assessments (Appendix I).

Treatment Period

After confirming eligibility, patients were randomized into treatment period. In this study, total treatment period was of 28 weeks. This 28 week of treatment period was divided into 16 weeks of treatment period 1 and 12 weeks of treatment period 2.

Total duration was maximum 30 weeks

The study was conducted as per below planned visits:

Visit 1: Screening Visit (Day -14 to Day -1)

Visit 2: Randomization/Baseline Visit (Day 1, Week 1)

Visit 3: Day 56 ± 4 (Week 8)

Visit 4: Day 84 ± 4 (Week 12)

Visit 5*: ET/EOT Visit: Day 112± 4 (Week 16)

Visit 5**: Day 112± 4 (Week 16)

Visit 6*: EOS Visit (Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up visit: Day 126± 4, (Week 18)

Visit 6**: ET/EOT Visit: Day 196 ± 4 (Week 28)

Visit 7**: EOS Visit (Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up visit: Day 210± 4, (Week 30)

Note: * is applicable for patients under treatment period 1 and ** is applicable for treatment period 2.

Patients were provided with diary to record details about study drug administration, rescue medication, and adverse events (AEs). Patients were required to bring completed diary at each visit.

Patients who discontinued early from the study completed ET and post-treatment safety follow-up visit both considered as end of study visit.

Patients who discontinued early from the study completed ET and Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up visit. Telephonic follow-up of Visit 6 (Week 18) and Visit 7 (Week 30) were also permitted if patients were unable to visit study center. Patients who discontinued early from the study also completed procedure of Visit 6 (Week 18) for treatment period 1 and Visit 7 (Week 30) for treatment period 2, two weeks after discontinuation of study medication.

Study results conclusion:

Overall, the proposed triple fixed dose combination of FDC of Dapagliflozin, Glimepiride and Extended Release Metformin Hydrochloride tablets was superior in comparison to FDC of Metformin Hydrochloride Prolonged Release and Glimepiride Tablets in terms of HbA1c reduction at the end of Week 12 and Week 16. The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% were higher and statistically significant in Test arm as compared to Comparator arm at the end of Week 12 and Week 16 demonstrating better glycemic control. The results of safety analysis showed that the incidence of TEAEs were comparable in all arms. Apart from the safety that is already known for the study products, no new safety concerns were observed in the study. Overall, the study products were safe and well tolerated.
