    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    An overall study of the cardiovascular outcomes following treatment with ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established vascular disease. The main objective of this study is to assess the cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin. This trial includes 3 pre-defined glycemic sub-studies; 1. In participants receiving background insulin with or without metformin, 2. In participants receiving background sulfonylurea monotherapy, and 3. In participants receiving background metformin with sulfonylurea (all fully-enrolled). Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 1 were in the overall study as well as a sub-study, if they met certain entry criteria. Participants enrolled following the start of Amendment 1 were only enrolled in the overall study. The sub-studies were the initial 18 weeks of the overall study period.
    Detailed Description
    The primary hypotheses for the 4 studies are: Overall Cardiovascular Study: The time to first occurrence of the composite endpoint of MACE: cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction [MI] or non-fatal stroke in participants treated with ertugliflozin is non-inferior compared to that in participants treated with placebo. The 3 Glycemic Sub-studies: The mean reduction from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) for 15 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo. The mean reduction from baseline in A1C for 5 mg ertugliflozin is greater than that for placebo.

    Glycemic Rescue
    Intervention Description
    Doses of background anti-hyperglycemic agents (AHA), medications will be required to be held constant in all participants enrolled for the initial 18 weeks of the trial with 2 exceptions: First, participant will be prescribed glycemic rescue therapy if they meet specific, progressively more stringent, glycemic thresholds based on repeated, confirmed fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measured at a central laboratory. Second, a participant experiencing clinically significant hypoglycemia according to the investigator at any time during the trial is permitted to have the dose of appropriate background AHA (e.g., insulin, sulfonylurea [SU], glinide) reduced or discontinued as per the judgment of the investigator or the treating physician. Choice and dosing of glycemic rescue will be at the discretion of the investigator or the treating physician consistent with standards of care for management of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the country of the investigational site.

    Title
    Time to First Occurrence of MACE (Composite Endpoint of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events [Cardiovascular Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction or Non-fatal Stroke]) (On-Treatment + 365-day Approach) (Overall Cardiovascular Study)
    Description
    Time to the first occurrence of any of the following adjudicated components of the primary composite endpoint (3-point major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)): cardiovascular (CV) death (including fatal stroke and fatal myocardial infarction (MI)), non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke. The on-treatment approach included confirmed events that occurred between the date of first dose of study medication and the on-treatment censor date. Person-years was calculated as the sum of participants' time to first event or time to censoring (the earliest of participants' end of study date, death date, last contact date, or 365 days after the last dose).
