• Status: Withdrawn
• Trial end date: 2012-09-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The study is designed to see if once daily oral dosing of LY2608204 will help control diabetes as measured by the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A (HbA1c) level. It will also help to determine the safety of the medication and the most useful doses of the medication.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Eli Lilly and Company
• Treatments: Glimepiride; Globalagliatin

3. Diet and exercise in combination with a stable dose of sulfonylurea or meglitinide (repaglinide, nateglinide) for at least 3 months before Screening or

4. Diet and exercise in combination with stable doses of metformin and sulfonylurea or metformin and meglitinides for at least 3 months before Screening and have had diabetes for at least 6 years
