A Phase III Study of SP2086 in Combination With Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

A Multicenter Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled ,Parallel Group ,Phase III Study to Access the Efficacy and Safety of SP2086 in Combination Therapy With Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Patients

SP2086 is a new dipeptidy1 peptidase(DPP)-4 inhibitors. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SP2086 in combination therapy with Metformin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Metformin monotherapy Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus
• subject on metformin monotherapy with stable dose ≥1500mg/d for ≥8 weeks
• 7.5% ≤HbA1C ≤11.0% at screening,7.0% ≤HbA1C ≤10.5% after run-in
• Body Mass Index: ≥19 and ≤35 kg/m2

Exclusion Criteria:

1. <80% or >120% compliance with placebo treatment during the run-in period
2. Patients used the following drugs or therapies prior to randomization:

6. Any organ system tumors except the local skin basal cell carcinoma that have been treated or not been treated within 5 years prior to randomization, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastasis ; a history or family history of medullary carcinoma of thyroid ; a history of multiple endocrine neoplasia
7. Decompensated heart failure (NYHA class III and IV), unstable angina, stroke or transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, persistence and clinical significance arrhythmia, coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention within 6 months prior to randomization
8. Acute metabolic complications (ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis or hyperosmolar coma), unstable proliferative retinopathy or macular degeneration within 6 months prior to randomization
9. Severe trauma or acute infection that may affect blood glucose control within 4 weeks prior to randomization
10. Severe chronic gastrointestinal disease or therapy that may affect drug absorption, such as gastrointestinal surgery
11. With a history of mental/emotional disorder that would interfere with the subject's participation in the study.

5. blood amylase o exceed the normal range, and have clinical significance
6. In investigator's opinion, any significant laboratory abnormalities of clinical significance value that interfere with assessment of this study.

6. At Screening patients not installed pacemaker with II or III degree atrioventricular block, long QT syndrome or QT corrected > 500 ms 7. Patients who received blood transfusions or blood donation≥ 400 mL or severe blood loss at least 400 mL within 8 weeks prior to randomization
