  • with the minimum effective dose of ≥1500 mg/day, but not higher than the maximum approved dose per country-specific label, or
  • \<1500 mg/day in case of intolerance of full therapeutic dose.

Exclusion

  • Have type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Have a history of chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to study entry
  • Have a history of
  • proliferative diabetic retinopathy
  • diabetic macular edema, or

  • Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<30 mL/minute/1.73 m2 (or lower than the country-specific threshold for discontinuing metformin therapy per local label), calculated by chronic kidney disease-epidemiology equation as determined by central laboratory at screening.
  • Have been treated with any injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and insulin prior to screening.
