*Safety population includes saxagliptin 2.5- to 5-mg titration group data pooled with 2.5-mg groups, data for 5-mg PM group pooled with 5-mg AM groups, and data pooled for placebo groups. Efficacy population includes pooled data for saxagliptin 2.5-mg groups (not including 2.5- to 5-mg titration group) , saxagliptin 5-mg AM groups, and placebo groups.
