ESR-15-11293 - Saxa/Dapa, Safety and Efficacy Study

Saxagliptin (Onglyza™) is approved by the US FDA as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM. The 5 mg dose will be used for this study as it is the dose that is routinely used in the clinic. In addition, this dose is used in the pivotal studies in the saxagliptin/dapagliflozin clinical program.

Dapagliflozin (Farxiga) is approved by the FDA as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM. Dapagliflozin (Farxiga) is also approved in the EU as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM for whom metformin use is considered inappropriate due to intolerance, and in combination with other glucose-lowering medicinal products when these, in combination with diet and exercise do not provide adequate glycemic control. The 10 mg dose was chosen for this study because it has been extensively studied in Phase 3 trials and has demonstrated a favorable benefit-risk profile. In addition, this dose is the most commonly used dose in most countries.
