Bristol-Myers 
announced that findings from a 24-week Phase 3 clinical study, published online in the latest issue of Diabetes Care, demonstrated that the investigational drug dapagliflozin, administered as a monotherapy, achieved statistically significant mean reductions at 5 mg and 10 mg doses once daily in the primary endpoint of HbA1c levels in treatment-naïve adult patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The study also showed reductions in the secondary endpoint of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and total body weight compared to placebo in these patients.
