Summary

An overall study of the cardiovascular outcomes following treatment with ertugliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and established vascular disease. The main objective of this study is to assess the cardiovascular safety of ertugliflozin. This trial includes 3 pre-defined glycemic sub-studies; 1. In participants receiving background insulin with or without metformin, 2. In participants receiving background sulfonylurea monotherapy, and 3. In participants receiving background metformin with sulfonylurea (all fully-enrolled). Participants enrolled prior to Amendment 1 were in the overall study as well as a sub-study, if they met certain entry criteria. Participants enrolled following the start of Amendment 1 were only enrolled in the overall study. The sub-studies were the initial 18 weeks of the overall study period.
