Groups2
Group 2 names the comparator: control.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Treatment | Participants randomised to the treatment arm received active metformin in addition to standard care. Metformin tablets will be titrated according to a dosing schedule to achieve the pre-specified glucose targets. Tablets will be in 500mg doses and will commence at 1 tablet per day (500mg) increasing to a maximum of 5 tablets per day (2500mg). | 94 | 263 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Control | Participants randomised to the placebo arm received placebo in addition to standard care. Placebo will be titrated according to the dosing schedule to achieve the pre-specified glucose targets. Placebo tablets will commence at 1 tablet per day and will be increased to a maximum of 5 tablets per day over 10 days as with the treatment group. | 106 | 262 | OG001 |
