METHODS AND RESULTS: Post hoc analysis of data pooled from 5 previously reported phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, 24-week studies was conducted. Patients were stratified into subgroups by UKPDS 10-year CHD and/or stroke risk >/=20% and CHD and stroke risk <20%. End points were adjusted mean change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 120-min postprandial glucose (PPG), and body weight and the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% and
