In this multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, parallel‐group study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of teneligliptin compared with placebo when added to metformin therapy in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Eligible type 2 diabetes patients receiving a stable metformin dose ≥1000 mg/day received teneligliptin 20 mg or placebo orally once daily (qd) before breakfast for 24 weeks to assess the primary efficacy end‐point (change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 24) and safety (including the incidence of adverse events). The least square mean (LSM) change from baseline (standard error [SE]) was −0.72 (0.07) for teneligliptin and −0.01 (0.07) for placebo, and the differences (LSM ± SE) between the placebo and teneligliptin groups in HbA1c and FPG were −0.71% ± 0.11% and −16.5 ± 4.7 mg/dl, with similar treatment‐emergent AE incidences in both groups, indicating that teneligliptin 20 mg qd for 24 weeks added to ongoing metformin treatment was safe and tolerable, and significantly decreased HbA1c and FPG levels compared with placebo in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients.
