Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at least 90 days prior to the first screening visit.
- Patients with a HbA1C (glycosylated haemoglobin) between 7.0 - 10.0% (53-86 mmol/mol) (both inclusive)
- Patients with a fasting triglyceride level ≥200 mg/dL (2.26 mmol/L) and \<750mg/dL (8.46 mmol/L) at both screening visits.
- Note: If the triglyceride level is outside the required range at the second screening visit, an additional measurement can be obtained 1 week later, to confirm eligibility.
- Note: If a large difference in triglyceride level (\>15%) is observed between screening 1 and screening 2, an additional measurement may be requested or patient may be deemed not eligible.
- Patients who have been educated regarding diet and exercise at or before visit 1 (screening 1) and are willing to maintain and not alter a stable diet and activity routine throughout the study.
- Patients who have been on a stable statin therapy at doses that are likely to achieve optimal LDL cholesterol and who are willing to continue this treatment throughout the study.
- Note: Stable statin therapy may consist of a statin with or without ezetimibe.
- Patients with an LDL cholesterol level \<130mg/dL (3.34 mmol/L) at both screening visits.
- Patients who have a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25kg/m2 and \<50kg/m2.
- Patients who have been on a stable daily dose of metformin (at least 1500mg or maximum tolerated dose for metformin monotherapy as documented in the subject medical record) and/or a sulfonylurea and/or a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and/or a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and/or a GLP1-RA and/or basal insulin for at least 90 days prior to the day of first screening visit.
- Note: Dose of GLP1-RA must be stable for 6 months prior to baseline with no weight change \>2kg for 3 months prior to baseline.
- Note: Dose of basal insulin must be stable for 4 months prior to baseline. All types of basal insulin are permitted, including insulin glargine, insulin degludec, insulin detemir, NPH insulin and pre-mixed insulin.
- Female patients and male patients with female partners of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraceptive methods or have a sterilised partner for the duration of the study. Highly effective contraceptive methods are defined as methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Such methods include hormonal contraception, intrauterine device or sexual abstinence.
- Note: A woman is considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.
- Note: Hormonal contraceptives must be on a stable dose for at least one month before baseline.
- Note: Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
- Patients whose pre-study or screening clinical laboratory findings do not interfere with their participation in the study, in the opinion of the Investigator, and do not violate any inclusion or exclusion criteria
- Male or female patients aged 18 years and older on the day of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
- Patients who are able to communicate well with the Investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, and understand and sign the written informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities or procedures.
