To Assess Safety of Fixed Dose Combination of Dapagliflozin and Saxagliptin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

During the study, an AstraZeneca representative/delegate will have regular contacts with the study site, including visits to site for the site monitoring and source data verification activities. Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF) will be used for data collection and query handling. The investigator will sign the completed electronic Case Report Forms. A copy of the completed electronic Case Report Forms will be archived at the study site. Authorized representatives of AstraZeneca or delegate, a regulatory authority, or an Ethics Committee may perform audits or inspections at the center's. Number and percentages of Incidence of adverse events will be presented, stratified by age/gender/baseline medications. Annualised event rate shall also be presented in addition to the incidence rate during the study. Mean change in HbA1C from baseline to 6 months for patients will be analysed using paired t test / Wilcoxon signed-rank test at 5% level of significance.

Inclusion criteria

For inclusion in the study subjects should fulfil the following criteria:

• Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures according to local Indian procedure.
