Study ATG115317, a Comparison of Atorvastatin and Glimepiride Fixed Dose Combination and Atorvastatin and Glimepiride Loose Combination in the Treatment of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The aim of this 20 week study is to show that glimepiride/atorvastatin fixed dose combination tablet is safe and as effective as atorvastatin + glimepiride combination taken as separate tablets, in improving glycaemic control (glycated haemoglobin, HbA1c) and cholesterol levels (Low-density lipoprotein, LDL) in diabetic subjects, who are inadequately controlled on a stable dose of metformin. Eight dose combinations will be included.
