A 12-week Study To Evaluate PF-06291874 Once a Day in Adults With T2DM Inadequately Controlled On Metformin

This will be a randomized, double blind, stratified, placebo controlled, parallel group study conducted in T2DM subjects receiving background metformin therapy. Subjects will complete screening procedures to determine eligibility, followed by an 8 week metformin stabilization period prior to randomization. In addition, subjects taking other OADs, in combination with metformin, will undergo a washout during this period, in which non metformin OAD medications will be temporarily discontinued for the duration of the trial. Following confirmation of study eligibility criteria at randomization, subjects will be stratified into 2 groups based on the use of concomitant statin therapy. Each stratum will be randomized across treatment groups, such that the number of subjects taking concomitant statin therapy and those not taking statin therapy will be approximately balanced across treatment groups.
