Title

Saxagliptin Triple Oral Therapy
A 24-week, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase IIIb Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Saxagliptin in Combination With Metformin and Sulfonylurea in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Inadequate Glycaemic Control With Combination of Metformin and Sulfonylurea
