Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Saxagliptin Co-administered With Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin Compared to Sitagliptin in Combination With Metformin in Adult Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Therapy Alone

A 26-week International, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Controlled, Parallel Group, Phase 3bTrial With a Blinded 26-week Long -Term Extension Period to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Saxagliptin Co-administered With Dapagliflozin in Combination With Metformin Compared to Sitagliptin in Combination With Metformin in Adult Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Therapy Alone

Study will evaluate if a combination of saxagliptin and dapagliflozin added concurrently to metformin in combination with diet and exercise is superior to sitagliptin added to metformin in combination with diet and exercise in reducing mean HbA1c over a treatment period of 26 weeks.
