Efficacy and Safety of Sotagliflozin Versus Glimepiride and Placebo in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus That Are Taking Metformin Monotherapy

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Sotagliflozin 400 milligrams (mg) compared to Glimepiride on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction at Week 52 in participants with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) who have inadequate glycemic control with metformin. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin 400 mg compared to Glimepiride on change in body weight, systolic blood pressure (SBP) in participants with baseline SBP ≥130 millimeter of mercury (mmHg), SBP in all participants, and proportion of participants with at least 1 documented symptomatic hypoglycemic event (≤70 milligrams per deciliter \[mg/dL\]). * To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin 400 mg compared to placebo on change in HbA1c, body weight, SBP in participants with baseline SBP ≥130 mmHg, SBP in all participants. * To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin 200 mg compared to placebo on change in HbA1c. * To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Sotagliflozin 400 mg compared to Glimepiride on change in HbA1c. * To demonstrate the superiority of Sotagliflozin 400 mg compared to Glimepiride on change in HbA1c. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Sotagliflozin compared to Glimepiride and placebo.

Up to 58 weeks, including a Screening Period consisting of a Screening phase of up to 2 weeks, a 2-week single-blind placebo Run-in phase, a 52-week double-blind Treatment Period, and a 2-week post-treatment Follow-up period to collect safety information.
