Title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Parallel, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Effects of Canagliflozin on Renal Endpoints in Adult Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of canagliflozin compared to placebo on progression of albuminuria in participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus receiving standard care but with inadequate glycemic control and at elevated risk of cardiovascular events.
