Inclusion Criteria:

  • type II diabetes patients, female with non child-bearing potential
  • T2DM diagnosis confirmed by C-peptide >0.3nmol/L and no glutamic acid decarboxylate (GAD) antibodies at enrolment (screening)
  • Treatment with metformin alone with a total daily dose not less than 1 000 mg. Stable glycaemic control indicated by unchanged treatment within 3 months prior to enrolment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of ischemic heart disease, symptomatic heart failure, stroke, transitory ischemic attack or symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
  • Signs of diabetic proliferative retinopathy or diabetic maculopathy, at screening or on an ophthalmological examination within 3 months from start of study
