PROTOCOL SUMMARY
1.1.
Synopsis
A prospective, multi-centric, open-label, single-arm, phase 4 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 
canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR fixed-dose combination as an adjunct to diet and exercise to 
improve glycemic control in Indian adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both 
canagliflozin and metformin is appropriate
Canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and 
biguanide combination product which combines two oral antihyperglycemic agents with complementary 
mechanisms of action to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. By inhibiting SGLT2, 
canagliflozin reduces reabsorption of filtered glucose and lowers the renal threshold for glucose (RTG), 
and thereby increases urinary glucose excretion (UGE). Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, 
decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose 
uptake and utilization (Fleming JW 2015).

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
Study duration: 
Screening period will be of 1 week, during which study participants will be evaluated for eligibility criteria. 
Study participants will be followed up for study duration period of 24 weeks. The total duration of the 
study, including the 1-week screening period, the 24-week treatment phase and the 4-week post-treatment 
phase is approximately 29 weeks for each subject.
Dose Regimens:
Study participants will receive canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR fixed-dose combination tablets 
at a dose determined by the investigator. Study participants will be asked to take one tablet orally twice 
daily with meals throughout the study period. Dosing can be adjusted based on effectiveness and tolerability 
while not exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of metformin 2000 mg and canagliflozin 
300 mg in patients with an eGFR of 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or greater. Dose initiation and dose adjustment 
will be done as per local prescribing information of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR, as 
determined by the investigator.
SAFETY EVALUATIONS
Safety evaluations, according to the time points provided in the Time and Events Schedule, will include the 
collection of adverse events, safety laboratory tests (including chemistry, fasting lipid profile, hematology, 
and urinalysis), vital signs (blood pressures and pulse rates), body weight, physical examinations, SMBG, 
and collection of potential hypoglycemic episodes (eg, from the subject diary provided to subjects).
EFFICACY EVALUATIONS
The primary measure of efficacy is change HbA1c(%) from baseline. Secondary measures of efficacy 
include changes from baseline in parameters like FPG, PPG, body weight, waist circumference and blood 
pressure.
STATISTICAL METHODS
Sample size: 276
Approximately 276 patients will be enrolled to obtain data of at least 251 patients, considering 10% dropout 
rate. Based on existing data available and considering treatment emergent adverse event rate to be 20.6% 
and margin of error 5%, a sample size of 251 will be required to yield a power of 80% and 5% level of 
significance. (Janssen Research & Development 2014)
Sample size is derived based on the formula: n = [(Z(1-alpha/2))^2 x p x (1- p)] / d^2
Where in, n is calculated sample size, Z is degree of confidence (ie, 95% which yields 1.96), d is maximum 
tolerated error or upper bound for the margin of error (0.05), p is proportion (0.206 considering rate of 
treatment emergent adverse events to be 20.6%).
Dropout rate of 10% is considered for sample size calculation.
Safety parameters to be evaluated at 24 weeks is: the percentage (%) of adverse events (AEs), serious 
adverse events (SAEs), unexpected adverse events or adverse drug reactions. The statistical evaluation will 
be performed using SAS®, version 9.4 or later. Data will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
(number of subjects [n], mean, standard deviation [SD], median, minimum, and maximum) for continuous 
variables, and using frequency and percentage (i.e., number and proportion of subjects – n, %) for 
discrete/categorical variables, unless specified otherwise.
Secondary parameters to be evaluated at week 12 and week 24 is: change from baseline in Glycosylated 
Haemoglobin (HbA1c) %. Other exploratory endpoints include change from baseline in parameters like 
FPG, PPG, body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and proportion of patients achieving HbA1c

INTRODUCTION
Canagliflozin is an orally active inhibitor of SGLT2. It lowers RTG and leads to increase in urinary 
glucose excretion (UGE), thereby lowering plasma glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes 
mellitus. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity by 
increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Fixed dose-combination of canagliflozin and 
metformin IR is approved by USFDA in August 2014. Bioequivalence of this FDC is shown in 
clinical trials. Efficacy and safety of canagliflozin + metformin IR is supported by multiple clinical 
trials. FDC is advantageous for patients in simplifying the treatment regimens. This can also 
improve treatment adherence (Fleming JW 2015).
The term “study intervention” throughout the protocol, refers to Canagliflozin + metformin 
hydrochloride IR FDC. 
The term "sponsor" used throughout this document refers to the entities listed in the Contact 
Information page(s), which will be provided as a separate document.
2.1.
Study Rationale
Marketing authorization in India is granted by DCGI (drug controller general of India) in form-45 
dated 27th March 2018 for six dosage strengths of FDC: canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride 
IR (50 mg + 500 mg, 150 mg + 500 mg, 50 mg + 850 mg, 150 mg + 850 mg, 50 mg + 1000 mg, 
150 mg + 1000 mg). As a condition for approval, marketing authorization holder has been asked 
to conduct a phase 4 clinical trial. The protocol of phase 4 needs to be submitted for review by the 
subject expert committee of DCGI; before launching the product in the market. ((India) 2018)
(Central Drug Standard Control Organization)
This study will provide data on safety, and efficacy of this combination in Indian population and
fulfill the premarketing regulatory commitment in India. 
2.2.
Background
Efficacy/Safety Studies
Pivotal supporting data for the CANA/MET IR FDC efficacy include:

Phase 3 clinical studies of canagliflozin as add-on therapy in subjects on metformin (alone or 
in combination with other oral agents or insulin)

One Phase 2 clinical study (28431754DIA2003 [DIA2003]) evaluating canagliflozin bid as 
add on therapy to metformin, conducted specifically to support canagliflozin bid dosing

Four of the 7 Phase 1 studies that support the CANA/MET IR FDC evaluated the 
pharmacokinetic (PK) bioequivalence of the to-be-marketed formulation of the CANA/MET 
IR FDC tablets to the individual tablet components (DIA1039, DIA1052, DIA1051, and 
DIA1038)

One Phase 1 study evaluated the effect of food on the PK of the to-be-marketed formulation 
of the CANA/MET IR FDC (DIA1037)


One Phase 1 study evaluated the PK and Pharmacodynamics (PD) (including the RTG: the 
plasma glucose concentration above which tubular reabsorption of glucose cannot increase 
further, and glucose is excreted into the urine in direct proportion to the glucose concentration 
above this threshold) of canagliflozin once-daily dosing versus bid dosing (DIA1032)

One Phase 1 study evaluated the relative bioavailability of the CANA/MET IR FDC tablets 
(6 different dose strengths), serving as a pilot for the Phase 1 bioequivalence studies 
(DIA1036)
Safety results supporting CANA/MET IR FDC include:

A pooled dataset including 3 placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies (DIA3002, DIA3006, and 
DIA3012) in which canagliflozin was added to subjects on antihyperglycemic agent (AHA) 
regimens including metformin (alone or in combination with other oral AHAs) (DS1-M).

A pooled dataset including those subjects whose background diabetes therapy at baseline 
included metformin from 6 Phase 3 studies (DIA3002, DIA3006, DIA3008, DIA3009,

Subjects from India in Efficacy Analysis
(Modified Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set)
Summary of Efficacy Findings
Both the 300 mg and the 100 mg canagliflozin doses provided clinically relevant - reductions in
HbA1c, FPG, and body weight in subjects on the background of metformin alone or in combination 
with other oral AHA. The improvement in these efficacy parameters was similar in subjects from 
India relative to the overall population (Janssen Research & Development 2014).

Summary of Safety Findings
In summary, the overall safety profile, including the overall incidence of adverse events, specific 
adverse events, serious adverse events, death, and adverse events leading to discontinuation, are 
generally similar between the total population and the Indian subgroup in the DS3M-LT2 dataset. 
No notable differences in the pattern of adverse events were seen between the total population and 
the Indian subgroup (Janssen Research & Development 2014).
2.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
In support of the CANA/MET IR FDC, analyses of results from the canagliflozin Phase 3 program 
relevant to this FDC were evaluated. To assess efficacy in add-on use with metformin (alone or 
with another AHA), 6 Phase 3 studies were examined as the primary efficacy assessment, 
including add-on to metformin, to metformin and a SU agent, to metformin and pioglitazone, and 
to metformin and insulin. The results demonstrated efficacy with reductions in HbA1c, FPG, and 
body weight, comparable to that demonstrated in the broader canagliflozin program.
To assess safety in add-on use with metformin, a pooled dataset including 3 placebo-controlled 
Phase 3 studies (DIA3002, DIA3006, and DIA3012) in which canagliflozin was added to subjects 
on antihyperglycemic agent (AHA) regimens including metformin (alone or in combination with 
other oral AHAs) (DS1M) and a pooled dataset (DS3M-LT2) including those subjects whose 
background diabetes therapy at baseline included metformin from 6 Phase 3 studies (DIA3002, 
DIA3006, DIA3008, DIA3009, DIA3010, and DIA3012) were assessed. For subjects on 
metformin at baseline in the Phase 3 studies, a total of 4,202 had approximately a year or more 
exposure, and 2,284 had approximately 1.5 years or more exposure. The safety assessment in these 
subjects demonstrated a safety profile comparable to that identified for canagliflozin.
The efficacy data of subjects from India in selected individual studies showed that canagliflozin 
100 mg and 300 mg on the background of metformin alone or in combination with other oral AHA, 
provided clinically relevant reductions in HbA1c, FPG, and body weight. The improvement in 
these efficacy parameters was similar in subjects from India relative to the overall population.

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
The overall safety profile of canagliflozin in subjects from India on metformin alone or metformin 
in combination with another AHA (including the overall incidence of adverse events, specific 
adverse events [including ADRs], serious adverse events, death, and adverse events leading to 
discontinuation] was generally similar between the total population and the Indian subgroup in the 
DS3M-LT2 dataset. No notable differences in the pattern of adverse events were seen between the 
total population and the Indian subgroup.
In conclusion, both doses of canagliflozin on the background of metformin provide glycemic 
improvement and body weight reduction, and were well tolerated in subjects from India. A 
favorable benefit and risk profile of canagliflozin 100 mg and 300 mg in combination with 
metformin was seen in the Indian population, consistent with the benefit and risk profile in the 
overall population in the global development program. (Janssen Research & Development 2014)
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks of Canagliflozin + 
metformin hydrochloride IR FDC may be found in the document canagliflozin/metformin FDC 
SAR (subgroup analysis report) for India (Janssen Research & Development 2014).

STUDY DESIGN
4.1.
Overall Design
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, phase 4 study in Indian adults with type 
2 diabetes mellitus to evaluate the safety and efficacy of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride 
IR fixed-dose combination as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control when 
treatment with both canagliflozin and metformin is appropriate.
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a 7-day screening phase, a 24 weeks treatment phase 
extending from Day 1 (baseline) to completing at the Week 24 visit (or the end-of-treatment [EOT] 
visit for subjects discontinuing study treatment early), and a 28 days post-treatment phase-
Telephone follow-up contact (or optional study visit, at the discretion of the investigator) 
approximately 28 days after the last dose of study drug. The duration of individual participation 
will be approximately 29 weeks.

Key safety assessments include adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), unexpected 
adverse events or adverse drug reactions. Key efficacy assessments include HbA1C, FPG, PPG, 
blood pressure, body weight, and waist circumference. 
A total of 276 participants will be enrolled in this study.
4.2.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
Prospective, Multi-Center, Single Arm, Open Label
Single arm design will be used to assess safety and efficacy parameters. Because of single arm 
study there is no risk of potential bias during data collection and analysis, so blinding is not 
required. 
Safety & Tolerability Assessment, Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
As this FDC of canagliflozin + metformin HCL IR, per se, will be first time used in Indian patients, 
analysis of safety as a primary endpoint is chosen considering regulatory requirement of 
conducting phase 4 studies in India. Inclusion of secondary efficacy endpoints will provide more 
data on potential benefits of study intervention in Indian population.
Dosing Forms, Strengths, Schedule, Route of Administration 
Two dosage strengths of canagliflozin + metformin HCl IR (50 mg + 500 mg; 50 mg + 1000 mg) 
will be utilized. These are to be dispensed as per local prescribing information of the study 
intervention. For dispensing details please refer to Section 6.1.
4.2.1.
Study-Specific Ethical Design Considerations
Potential participants will be fully informed of the risks and requirements of the study and, during 
the study, participants will be given any new information that may affect their decision to continue 
participation. They will be told that their consent to participate in the study is voluntary and may be 
withdrawn at any time with no reason given and without penalty or loss of benefits to which they 
would otherwise be entitled. Only participants who are fully able to understand the risks, benefits, 
and potential adverse events of the study, and provide their consent voluntarily will be enrolled.
The primary ethical concern is NOT APPLICABLE
The total blood volume to be collected is considered to be an acceptable amount of blood to be 
collected over this time period from the population in this study based upon the standard of the
American red cross (Blood Needs & Blood Supply, Facts & Statistics, Red Cross 2018).
4.3.
Justification for Dose
Two dosage strengths of canagliflozin + metformin HCl IR (50 mg + 500 mg; 50 mg + 1000 mg) 
will be utilized. Dose of study intervention canagliflozin + metformin HCL IR FDC is selected as

8.2.1.
Vital Signs
Pulse/heart rate, blood pressure will be assessed.
Pulse and blood pressure measurements and will be obtained after the subject has been in a seated 
position for 5 minutes and before blood sample collection for laboratory tests. 
blood pressure should preferably be measured by the same individual, using the same equipment, 
at each clinic visit to reduce variability.
Blood pressure and pulse/heart rate measurements should be assessed with a automated device. 
Manual techniques may be used only if an automated device is not available.
8.2.2.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Electrocardiograms will be conducted at the investigator site or affiliated facility
During the collection of ECGs, participants should be in a quiet setting without distractions 
(eg, television, cell phones). Participants should rest in a supine position for at least 5 minutes 
before ECG collection and should refrain from talking or moving arms or legs. If blood sampling 
or vital sign measurement is scheduled for the same time point as ECG recording, the procedures 
should be performed in the following order: ECG(s), vital signs, blood draw.
8.2.3.
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
Blood samples for serum chemistry and hematology and first morning void urine for urinalysis
will be collected as noted in Appendix 3, Clinical Laboratory Tests. The investigator must review 
the laboratory results, document this review, and record any clinically relevant changes occurring 
during the study in the adverse event section of the CRF. The laboratory reports must be filed with 
the source documents.
8.2.4.
Hypoglycemia Episodes
Subjects will be asked for any symptoms like dizziness, sweating, etc. during the study period. 
Laboratory parameters would also be recorded during hypoglycemic episodes. Dosage of study 
drug may be adjusted, or rescue therapy may be provided as per assessment by investigator. 
8.3.
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Timely, accurate, and complete reporting and analysis of safety information from clinical studies 
are crucial for the protection of participants, investigators, and the sponsor, and are mandated by 
regulatory agencies worldwide. The sponsor has established Standard Operating Procedures in 
conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure appropriate reporting of safety 
information; all clinical studies conducted by the sponsor or its affiliates will be conducted in 
accordance with those procedures.
Adverse events will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, 
or the participant's legally acceptable representative) for the duration of the study.

Anticipated events will be recorded and reported as described in Appendix 2.
For further details on adverse events and serious adverse events (Definitions and Classifications; 
Attribution Definitions; Severity Criteria; Special Reporting Situations; Procedures) as well as 
product quality complaints, refer to Appendix 5, Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-Up, and Reporting.
8.3.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting Adverse Event and Serious 
Adverse Event Information
All Adverse Events
All adverse events and special reporting situations, whether serious or non-serious, will be reported 
from the time a signed and dated ICF is obtained until completion of the participant's last study-
related procedure, which may include contact for follow-up of safety. In this study, 28-day 
telephonic follow-up will be done after last dose of study drug to assess adverse events.
Serious Adverse Events
All serious adverse events occurring during the study must be reported to the appropriate sponsor 
contact person by study-site personnel within 24 hours of their knowledge of the event.
Serious adverse events, including those spontaneously reported to the investigator within 28 days 
after the last dose of study intervention, must be reported using the Serious Adverse Event Form. 
The sponsor will evaluate any safety information that is spontaneously reported by an investigator 
beyond the time frame specified in the protocol.
Information regarding serious adverse events will be transmitted to the sponsor using the Serious 
Adverse Event Form, which must be completed and signed by a physician from the study site, and 
transmitted to the sponsor within 24 hours. The initial and follow-up reports of a serious adverse 
event should be made by facsimile (fax).
8.3.2.
Method of Detecting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting adverse events or serious adverse events. 
Open-ended and nonleading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire 
about adverse event occurrence. 
Solicited Adverse Events
Solicited adverse events are predefined local and systemic events for which the participant is 
specifically questioned.
Unsolicited Adverse Events
Unsolicited adverse events are all adverse events for which the participant is not specifically 
questioned.

8.3.3.
Follow-up of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Adverse events, including pregnancy, will be followed by the investigator as specified in 
Appendix 5, Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, 
and Reporting.
8.3.4.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events
The sponsor assumes responsibility for appropriate reporting of adverse events to the regulatory 
authorities. The sponsor will also report to the investigator (and the head of the investigational 
institute where required) all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). For 
anticipated events reported as individual serious adverse events the sponsor will make a 
determination of relatedness in addition to and independent of the investigator’s assessment. The 
sponsor will periodically evaluate the accumulating data and, when there is sufficient evidence 
and the sponsor has determined there is a reasonable possibility that the intervention caused a 
serious anticipated event, they will submit a safety report in narrative format to the investigators 
(and the head of the institute where required). The sponsor assumes responsibility for appropriate 
reporting of anticipated events to the regulatory authorities according to requirements of the 
countries in which the studies are conducted. The investigator (or sponsor where required) must 
report SUSARs to the appropriate Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board 
(IEC/IRB) that approved the protocol unless otherwise required and documented by the IEC/IRB.
8.3.5.
Pregnancy
All initial reports of pregnancy in female participants or partners of male participants must be 
reported to the sponsor by the study site personnel within 24 hours of their knowledge of the event 
using the appropriate pregnancy notification form. Abnormal pregnancy outcomes 
(eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, still birth, congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are 
considered SAEs and must be reported using an SAE reporting form. Any participant who becomes 
pregnant during the study must be promptly withdrawn from the study and discontinue further 
study intervention.
Follow up information regarding the outcome of the pregnancy and any postnatal sequelae in the 
infant will be required.
8.3.6.
Disease-Related Events and Disease-Related Outcomes not Qualifying 
as Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
All events that meet the definition of a serious adverse event will be reported as serious adverse 
events, regardless of whether they are protocol-specific assessments.
8.4.
Treatment of Overdose
For this study, any dose of Canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR FDC greater than 300 mg 
+ 2000 mg within a 24-hour time period will be considered an overdose. The sponsor does not 
recommend specific intervention for an overdose.

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
In the event of an overdose, the investigator or treating physician should:

Contact the Medical Monitor immediately.

Closely monitor the participant for AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities until Canagliflozin 
+ metformin hydrochloride IR FDC can no longer be detected systemically (at least 7 days).

In the event of an overdose, it is reasonable to employ the usual supportive measures, 
eg, remove unabsorbed material from the gastrointestinal tract, employ clinical monitoring, 
and institute supportive treatment as dictated by the patient’s clinical status. The most 
effective method to remove lactate and metformin is hemodialysis. Canagliflozin was 
negligibly removed during a 4-hour hemodialysis session. Canagliflozin is not expected to be 
dialyzable by peritoneal dialysis.

Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdosing in the CRF.
Decisions regarding dose interruptions or modifications will be made by the investigator in 
consultation with the Medical Monitor based on the clinical evaluation of the participant.

Appendix 4: Regulatory, Ethical, and Study Oversight Considerations
REGULATORY AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Investigator Responsibilities
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that the study is performed in accordance with the 
protocol, current ICH guidelines on Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable regulatory and 
country-specific requirements.
Good Clinical Practice is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, 
conducting, recording, and reporting studies that involve the participation of human participants. 
Compliance with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and well-being of 
study participants are protected, consistent with the principles that originated in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, and that the study data are credible.
Protocol Amendments
Neither the investigator nor the sponsor will modify this protocol without a formal amendment by 
the sponsor. All protocol amendments must be issued by the sponsor, and signed and dated by the 
investigator. Protocol amendments must not be implemented without prior IEC/IRB approval, or 
when the relevant competent authority has raised any grounds for non-acceptance, except when 
necessary to eliminate immediate hazards to the participants, in which case the amendment must 
be promptly submitted to the IEC/IRB and relevant competent authority. Documentation of 
amendment approval by the investigator and IEC/IRB must be provided to the sponsor. When the 
change(s) involve only logistic or administrative aspects of the study, the IEC/IRB (where 
required) only needs to be notified.
During the course of the study, in situations where a departure from the protocol is unavoidable, 
the investigator or other physician in attendance will contact the appropriate sponsor representative 
listed in the Contact Information page(s), which will be provided as a separate document. Except 
in emergency situations, this contact should be made before implementing any departure from the 
protocol. In all cases, contact with the sponsor must be made as soon as possible to discuss the 
situation and agree on an appropriate course of action. The data recorded in the CRF and source 
documents will reflect any departure from the protocol, and the source documents will describe 
this departure and the circumstances requiring it.
Regulatory Approval/Notification
This protocol and any amendment(s) must be submitted to the appropriate regulatory authorities 
in each respective country, if applicable. A study may not be initiated until all local regulatory 
requirements are met.

Other Ethical Considerations
For study-specific ethical design considerations, refer to Section 4.2.1.
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Investigators and subinvestigators will provide the sponsor with sufficient, accurate financial 
information in accordance with local regulations to allow the sponsor to submit complete and 
accurate financial certification or disclosure statements to the appropriate regulatory authorities. 
Investigators are responsible for providing information on financial interests during the course of 
the study and for 1 year after completion of the study.
Refer to Required Prestudy Documentation (above) and contracts for details on financial 
disclosure.
INFORMED CONSENT PROCESS 
Each participant (or a legally acceptable representative) must give written consent according to 
local requirements after the nature of the study has been fully explained. The ICF(s) must be signed 
before performance of any study-related activity. The ICF(s) that is/are used must be approved by 
both the sponsor and by the reviewing IEC/IRB and be in a language that the participant can read 
and understand. The informed consent should be in accordance with principles that originated in 
the Declaration of Helsinki, current ICH and GCP guidelines, applicable regulatory requirements, 
and sponsor policy.
Before enrollment in the study, the investigator or an authorized member of the study-site 
personnel must explain to potential participants or their legally acceptable representatives the aims, 
methods, reasonably anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study, and any discomfort 
participation in the study may entail. Participants will be informed that their participation is 
voluntary and that they may withdraw consent to participate at any time. They will be informed

that choosing not to participate will not affect the care the participant will receive for the treatment 
of his or her disease]. [Participants will be told that alternative treatments are available if they 
refuse to take part and that such refusal will not prejudice future treatment. Finally, they will be 
told that the investigator will maintain a participant identification register for the purposes of long-
term follow up if needed and that their records may be accessed by health authorities and 
authorized sponsor personnel without violating the confidentiality of the participant, to the extent 
permitted by the applicable law(s) or regulations. By signing the ICF the participant or legally 
acceptable representative is authorizing such access, which includes permission to obtain 
information about his or her survival status. It also denotes that the participant agrees to allow his 
or her study physician to recontact the participant for the purpose of obtaining consent for 
additional safety evaluations. 
The participant or legally acceptable representative will be given sufficient time to read the ICF 
and the opportunity to ask questions. After this explanation and before entry into the study, consent 
should be appropriately recorded by means of either the participant's or his or her legally 
acceptable representative's personally dated signature. After having obtained the consent, a copy 
of the ICF must be given to the participant.
If the participant or legally acceptable representative is unable to read or write, an impartial witness 
should be present for the entire informed consent process (which includes reading and explaining 
all written information) and should personally date and sign the ICF after the oral consent of the 
participant or legally acceptable representative is obtained.
DATA PROTECTION
Privacy of Personal Data
The collection and processing of personal data from participants enrolled in this study will be 
limited to those data that are necessary to fulfill the objectives of the study.
These data must be collected and processed with adequate precautions to ensure confidentiality 
and compliance with applicable data privacy protection laws and regulations. Appropriate 
technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorized disclosures 
or access, accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss or alteration must be put in place. 
Sponsor personnel whose responsibilities require access to personal data agree to keep the identity 
of participants confidential.
The informed consent obtained from the participant (or his or her legally acceptable representative) 
includes explicit consent for the processing of personal data and for the investigator/institution to 
allow direct access to his or her original medical records (source data/documents) for study-related 
monitoring, audit, IEC/IRB review, and regulatory inspection. This consent also addresses the 
transfer of the data to other entities and to other countries.

The participant has the right to request through the investigator access to his or her personal data 
and the right to request rectification of any data that are not correct or complete. Reasonable steps 
will be taken to respond to such a request, taking into consideration the nature of the request, the 
conditions of the study, and the applicable laws and regulations.
PUBLICATION POLICY/DISSEMINATION OF CLINICAL STUDY DATA
All information, including but not limited to information regarding Canagliflozin + metformin 
hydrochloride IR FDC or the sponsor's operations (eg, patent application, formulas, manufacturing 
processes, basic scientific data, prior clinical data, formulation information) supplied by the 
sponsor to the investigator and not previously published, and any data, including  research data, 
generated as a result of this study, are considered confidential and remain the sole property of the 
sponsor. The investigator agrees to maintain this information in confidence and use this 
information only to accomplish this study, and will not use it for other purposes without the 
sponsor's prior written consent.
The investigator understands that the information developed in the study will be used by the 
sponsor in connection with the continued development of Canagliflozin + metformin 
hydrochloride IR FDC, and thus may be disclosed as required to other clinical investigators or 
regulatory agencies. To permit the information derived from the clinical studies to be used, the 
investigator is obligated to provide the sponsor with all data obtained in the study.
The results of the study will be reported in a Clinical Study Report generated by the sponsor and 
will contain data from all study sites that participated in the study as per protocol. Recruitment 
performance or specific expertise related to the nature and the key assessment parameters of the 
study will be used to determine a coordinating investigator for the study. Results of analyses 
performed after the Clinical Study Report has been issued will be reported in a separate report and 
will not require a revision of the Clinical Study Report. 
Study participant identifiers will not be used in publication of results. Any work created in 
connection with performance of the study and contained in the data that can benefit from copyright 
protection (except any publication by the investigator as provided for below) shall be the property 
of the sponsor as author and owner of copyright in such work.
Consistent with Good Publication Practices and International Committee of Medical Journal 
Editors (ICMJE) guidelines, the sponsor shall have the right to publish such primary (multicenter) 
data and information without approval from the investigator. The investigator has the right to 
publish study site-specific data after the primary data are published. If an investigator wishes to 
publish information from the study, a copy of the manuscript must be provided to the sponsor for 
review at least 60 days before submission for publication or presentation. Expedited reviews will 
be arranged for abstracts, poster presentations, or other materials. If requested by the sponsor in 
writing, the investigator will withhold such publication for up to an additional 60 days to allow for 
filing of a patent application. In the event that issues arise regarding scientific integrity or 
regulatory compliance, the sponsor will review these issues with the investigator. The sponsor will 
not mandate modifications to scientific content and does not have the right to suppress information.

For multicenter study designs and substudy approaches, secondary results generally should not be 
published before the primary endpoints of a study have been published. Similarly, investigators 
will recognize the integrity of a multicenter study by not submitting for publication data derived 
from the individual study site until the combined results from the completed study have been 
submitted for publication, within 18 months after the study end date, or the sponsor confirms there 
will be no multicenter study publication. Authorship of publications resulting from this study will 
be based on the guidelines on authorship, such as those described in the ICMJE Recommendations 
for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, which 
state that the named authors must have made a significant contribution to the conception or design 
of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of the data for the work; and drafted the 
work or revised it critically for important intellectual content; and given final approval of the 
version to be published; and agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that 
questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated 
and resolved.
Registration of Clinical Studies and Disclosure of Results
The sponsor will register and disclose the existence of and the results of clinical studies as required 
by law.
DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE
Data Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Steps to be taken to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data include the selection of qualified 
investigators and appropriate study sites, review of protocol procedures with the investigator and 
study-site personnel before the study, periodic monitoring visits by the sponsor. Written 
instructions will be provided for collection, handling, storage, and shipment of samples. 
Guidelines for CRF completion will be provided and reviewed with study-site personnel before 
the start of the study. The sponsor will review CRF for accuracy and completeness during on-site 
monitoring visits and after their return to the sponsor; any discrepancies will be resolved with the 
investigator or designee, as appropriate. The data will be entered into the study database and 
verified for accuracy and consistency with the data sources.

Case report forms are prepared and provided by the sponsor for each participant in printed or 
electronic format. All data relating to the study must be recorded in CRF. All CRF entries, 
corrections, and alterations must be made by the investigator or authorized study-site personnel. 
The investigator must verify that all data entries in the CRF are accurate and correct.
For paper CRF use: All printed forms must be filled out legibly in black ballpoint pen or typed. 
The appropriate pages of the CRF must be signed and dated by the investigator.

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
For electronic CRF use: The study data will be transcribed by study-site personnel from the source 
documents onto an electronic CRF, if applicable. Study-specific data will be transmitted in a secure 
manner to the sponsor.
Worksheets may be used for the capture of some data to facilitate completion of the CRF. Any 
such worksheets will become part of the participant's source documents. Data must be entered into 
CRF in English. The CRF must be completed as soon as possible after a participant visit and the 
forms should be available for review at the next scheduled monitoring visit.
For paper CRF: Corrections to paper CRF must be made in such a way that the original entry is 
not obscured. Correction fluid or tape must NOT be used. The correct data must be inserted, dated, 
and initialed. If multi-part pressure-sensitive CRF are used, the separated parts of the CRF left at 
the study site must not be written on once the original has been sent to the sponsor. Completed 
CRF will be continuously submitted according to the sponsor's instructions and reviewed by the 
sponsor to determine their acceptability. If corrections to a CRF are needed after removal of the 
original CRF copy from the study site, Data Correction/Clarification Forms (DCF) will be 
generated and transmitted to the study site. The CRF must be adjusted (if applicable) and a 
response provided to the query (complete, sign, and date the DCF).
For electronic CRF use: If necessary, queries will be generated in the eDC tool. If corrections to a 
CRF are needed after the initial entry into the CRF, this can be done in either of the following 
ways:

Investigator and study-site personnel can make corrections in the eDC tool at their own 
initiative or as a response to an auto query (generated by the eDC tool).

Sponsor or sponsor delegate can generate a query for resolution by the investigator and study-
site personnel.
SOURCE DOCUMENTS
At a minimum, source documents consistent in the type and level of detail with that commonly 
recorded at the study site as a basis for standard medical care must be available for the following: 
participant identification, eligibility, and study identification; study discussion and date of signed 
informed consent; dates of visits; results of safety and efficacy parameters as required by the 
protocol; record of all adverse events and follow-up of adverse events; concomitant medication; 
intervention receipt/dispensing/return records; study intervention administration information; and 
date of study completion and reason for early discontinuation of study intervention or withdrawal 
from the study, if applicable. 
The author of an entry in the source documents should be identifiable.
Specific details required as source data for the study and source data collection methods will be 
reviewed with the investigator before the study and will be described in the monitoring guidelines 
(or other equivalent document).

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
The following data will be recorded directly into the CRF and will be considered source data: 

Race

Age

Disease History

Medical History and medication history

Blood pressure and pulse/heart rate 

Height and weight 

Details of physical examination
An eSource system may be utilized, which contains data traditionally maintained in a hospital or 
clinic record to document medical care (eg, electronic source documents) as well as the clinical 
study-specific data fields as determined by the protocol. This data is electronically extracted for 
use by the sponsor. If eSource is utilized, references made to the CRF in the protocol include the 
eSource system but information collected through eSource may not be limited to that found in the 
CRF.
MONITORING
The sponsor will use a combination of monitoring techniques remote and/or on-site monitoring to 
monitor this study
The sponsor will perform on-site monitoring visits as frequently as necessary. The monitor will 
record dates of the visits in a study site visit log that will be kept at the study site. At these visits, 
the monitor will compare data entered into the CRF with the source documents 
(eg, hospital/clinic/physician’s office medical records); a sample may be reviewed. The nature and 
location of all source documents will be identified to ensure that all sources of original data 
required to complete the CRF are known to the sponsor and study-site personnel and are accessible 
for verification by the sponsor study-site contact. If electronic records are maintained at the study 
site, the method of verification must be discussed with the study-site personnel. 
Direct access to source documents (medical records) must be allowed for the purpose of verifying 
that the recorded data are consistent with the original source data. Findings from this review will 
be discussed with the study-site personnel. The sponsor expects that, during monitoring visits, the 
relevant study-site personnel will be available, the source documents will be accessible, and a 
suitable environment will be provided for review of study-related documents. The monitor will 
meet with the investigator on a regular basis during the study to provide feedback on the study
conduct.
ON-SITE AUDITS
Representatives of the sponsor's clinical quality assurance department may visit the study site at 
any time during or after completion of the study to conduct an audit of the study in compliance 
with regulatory guidelines and company policy. These audits will require access to all study 
records, including source documents, for inspection. Participant privacy must, however, be

respected. The investigator and study-site personnel are responsible for being present and available 
for consultation during routinely scheduled study-site audit visits conducted by the sponsor or its 
designees. 
Similar auditing procedures may also be conducted by agents of any regulatory body, either as part 
of a national GCP compliance program or to review the results of this study in support of a 
regulatory submission. The investigator should immediately notify the sponsor if he or she has 
been contacted by a regulatory agency concerning an upcoming inspection.
RECORD RETENTION
In compliance with the ICH/GCP guidelines, the investigator/institution will maintain all CRF and 
all source documents that support the data collected from each participant, as well as all study 
documents as specified in ICH/GCP Section 8, Essential Documents for the Conduct of a Clinical 
Trial, and all study documents as specified by the applicable regulatory requirement(s). The 
investigator/institution will take measures to prevent accidental or premature destruction of these 
documents.
Essential documents must be retained until at least 2 years after the last approval of a marketing 
application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing applications 
in an ICH region or until at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical 
development of the investigational product. These documents will be retained for a longer period 
if required by the applicable regulatory requirements or by an agreement with the sponsor. It is the 
responsibility of the sponsor to inform the investigator/institution as to when these documents no 
longer need to be retained.
If the responsible investigator retires, relocates, or for other reasons withdraws from the 
responsibility of keeping the study records, custody must be transferred to a person who will accept 
the responsibility. The sponsor must be notified in writing of the name and address of the new 
custodian. Under no circumstance shall the investigator relocate or dispose of any study documents 
before having obtained written approval from the sponsor.
For paper CRF use: For CRF completed on pressure-sensitive paper, a copy is to be retained in the 
archives of the sponsor. A second copy must be archived by the investigator.
If it becomes necessary for the sponsor or the appropriate regulatory authority to review any 
documentation relating to this study, the investigator/institution must permit access to such reports.
STUDY AND SITE CLOSURE
Study Termination
The sponsor reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any time for any 
reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study completion. A 
study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies have been collected 
and a study-site closure visit has been performed.

The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause and 
sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include but are not 
limited to:

Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the IEC/IRB or 
local health authorities, the sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines

Inadequate recruitment of participants by the investigator


Appendix 5: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
ADVERSE EVENT DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS
Adverse Event
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered 
a medicinal (investigational or noninvestigational-) product. An adverse event does not necessarily 
have a causal relationship with the intervention. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable 
and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated 
with the use of a medicinal (investigational or noninvestigational) product, whether or not related 
to that medicinal (investigational or -noninvestigational) product. (Definition per International 
Conference on Harmonisation- [ICH])
This includes any occurrence that is new in onset or aggravated in severity or frequency from the 
baseline condition, or abnormal results of diagnostic procedures, including laboratory test 
abnormalities.
Note: The sponsor collects adverse events starting with the signing of the ICF (refer to All Adverse 
Events under Section 8.3.1, Time Period and Frequency for Collecting Adverse Events and Serious 
Adverse Events Information, for time of last adverse event recording).
Serious Adverse Event
A serious adverse event based on ICH and EU Guidelines on Pharmacovigilance for Medicinal 
Products for Human Use is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

Results in death

Is life-threatening
(The participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event that 
hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect

Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product

Is Medically Important*
*Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
also appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately 
life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. These 
should usually be considered serious.

Approved, Date: 4 February 2021
Unlisted (Unexpected) Adverse Event/Reference Safety Information
An adverse event is considered unlisted if the nature or severity is not consistent with the applicable 
product reference safety information. For Canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR FDC, the 
expectedness of an adverse event will be determined by whether or not it is listed in the local 
prescribing information. 
Adverse Event Associated With the Use of the Intervention
An adverse event is considered associated with the use of the intervention if the attribution is 
possible, probable, or very likely by the definitions listed below (see Attribution Definitions).
ATTRIBUTION DEFINITIONS
Not Related
An adverse event that is not related to the use of the intervention.
Doubtful
An adverse event for which an alternative explanation is more likely, eg, concomitant treatment(s), 
concomitant disease(s), or the relationship in time suggests that a causal relationship is unlikely.
Possible
An adverse event that might be due to the use of the intervention. An alternative explanation, 
eg, concomitant treatment(s), concomitant disease(s), is inconclusive. The relationship in time is 
reasonable; therefore, the causal relationship cannot be excluded.
Probable
An adverse event that might be due to the use of the intervention. The relationship in time is 
suggestive (eg, confirmed by dechallenge). An alternative explanation is less likely, 
eg, concomitant treatment(s), concomitant disease(s).
Very Likely
An adverse event that is listed as a possible adverse reaction and cannot be reasonably explained 
by an alternative explanation, eg, concomitant treatment(s), concomitant disease(s). The 
relationship in time is very suggestive (eg, it is confirmed by dechallenge and rechallenge).
SPECIAL REPORTING SITUATIONS
Safety events of interest on a sponsor study intervention in an interventional study that may require 
expedited reporting or safety evaluation include, but are not limited to:

Overdose of a sponsor study intervention

Suspected abuse/misuse of a sponsor study intervention

Accidental or occupational exposure to a sponsor study intervention

49
Approved, Date: 4 February 2021

Any failure of expected pharmacologic action (ie, lack of effect) of a sponsor study 
intervention

Unexpected therapeutic or clinical benefit from use of a sponsor study intervention

Medication error involving a sponsor product (with or without participant/patient exposure to 
the sponsor study intervention, eg, name confusion)

Exposure to a sponsor study intervention from breastfeeding
Special reporting situations should be recorded in the CRF. Any special reporting situation that 
meets the criteria of a serious adverse event should be recorded on the serious adverse event page 
of the CRF.
PROCEDURES
All Adverse Events
All adverse events, regardless of seriousness, severity, or presumed relationship to study 
intervention, must be recorded using medical terminology in the source document and the CRF. 
Whenever possible, diagnoses should be given when signs and symptoms are due to a common 
etiology (eg, cough, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, and head congestion should be reported as 
"upper respiratory infection"). Investigators must record in the CRF their opinion concerning the 
relationship of the adverse event to study therapy. All measures required for adverse event 
management must be recorded in the source document and reported according to sponsor 
instructions.
For all studies with an outpatient phase, including open-label studies, the participant must be 
provided with a "wallet (study) card" and instructed to carry this card with them for the duration 
of the study indicating the following: 

Study number

Statement, in the local language(s), that the participant is participating in a clinical study

Investigator's name and 24-hour contact telephone number

Local sponsor's name and 24-hour contact telephone number (for medical staff only)

Site number

Participant number

Any other information that is required to do an emergency breaking of the blind
Serious Adverse Events
All serious adverse events that have not resolved by the end of the study, or that have not resolved 
upon discontinuation of the participant's participation in the study, must be followed until any of 
the following occurs:

The event resolves

The event stabilizes

50
Approved, Date: 4 February 2021

The event returns to baseline, if a baseline value/status is available

The event can be attributed to agents other than the study intervention or to factors unrelated 
to study conduct

It becomes unlikely that any additional information can be obtained (participant or health care 
practitioner refusal to provide additional information, lost to follow-up after demonstration of 
due diligence with follow-up efforts)
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent by a medicinal product will be reported as a serious 
adverse event. Any event requiring hospitalization (or prolongation of hospitalization) that occurs 
during the course of a participant's participation in a study must be reported as a serious adverse 
event, except hospitalizations for the following:

Hospitalizations not intended to treat an acute illness or adverse event (eg, social reasons such 
as pending placement in long-term care facility)

Surgery or procedure planned before entry into the study (must be documented in the CRF).
The cause of death of a participant in a study within 28 days of the last dose of study intervention, 
whether or not the event is expected or associated with the study intervention, is considered a 
serious adverse event.
CONTACTING SPONSOR REGARDING SAFETY
The names (and corresponding telephone numbers) of the individuals who should be contacted 
regarding safety issues or questions regarding the study are listed in the Contact Information 
page(s), which will be provided as a separate document.
PRODUCT QUALITY COMPLAINT HANDLING
A product quality complaint (PQC) is defined as any suspicion of a product defect related to 
manufacturing, labeling, or packaging, ie, any dissatisfaction relative to the identity, quality, 
durability, or reliability of a product, including its labeling or package integrity. A PQC may have 
an impact on the safety and efficacy of the product. Timely, accurate, and complete reporting and 
analysis of PQC information from studies are crucial for the protection of participants, 
investigators, and the sponsor, and are mandated by regulatory agencies worldwide. The sponsor 
has established procedures in conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure 
appropriate reporting of PQC information; all studies conducted by the sponsor or its affiliates will 
be conducted in accordance with those procedures.
Procedures
All initial PQCs must be reported to the sponsor by the study-site personnel within 24 hours after 
being made aware of the event.
If the defect is combined with a serious adverse event, the study-site personnel must report the 
PQC to the sponsor according to the serious adverse event reporting timelines (refer to 
Section 8.3.1, Time Period and Frequency for Collecting Adverse Event and Serious Adverse

Appendix 6: Contraceptive and Barrier Guidance and Collection of 
Pregnancy Information
Participants must follow contraceptive measures as outlined in Section 5.1, Inclusion Criteria. 
Pregnancy information will be collected and reported as noted in Section 8.3.5, Pregnancy and 
Appendix 5 Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, 
and Reporting.
Definitions
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP)
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless 
permanently sterile (see below).
Woman Not of Childbearing Potential

premenarchal
A premenarchal state is one in which menarche has not yet occurred.

postmenopausal
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical 
cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level (>40 IU/L or mIU/mL) in the 
postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using 
hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), however in the absence of 
12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.

permanently sterile
Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral tubal 
occlusion/ligation procedures, and bilateral oophorectomy.
Note: If the childbearing potential changes after start of the study (eg, a premenarchal woman 
experiences menarche) or the risk of pregnancy changes (eg, a woman who is not heterosexually 
active becomes active), a woman must begin a highly effective method of contraception, as 
described throughout the inclusion criteria.
Examples of Contraceptives
EXAMPLES OF CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE:
USER INDEPENDENT 
Highly Effective Methods That Are User Independent Failure rate of ≤1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly.

Implantable progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationb

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)

Bilateral tubal occlusion

Vasectomized partner

(Vasectomized partner is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the sole 
sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. 
If not, additional highly effective method of contraception should be used. Spermatogenesis cycle is 
approximately 74 days.)
USER DEPENDENT
Highly Effective Methods That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly.

Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition 
of ovulationb
oral
intravaginal
transdermal
injectable

Progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationb
oral
injectable

Sexual abstinence
(Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. The 
reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the 
preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant.)
NOT ALLOWED AS SOLE METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION DURING THE STUDY (not 
considered to be highly effective - failure rate of >1% per year)

Progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode 
of action.

Male or female condom with or without spermicidec

Cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide

A combination of male condom with either cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide (double-
barrier methods)c

Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods)

Withdrawal (coitus-interruptus)

Spermicides alone

Lactational amenorrhea method (LAM)
a) Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use should be 
consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants in clinical 
studies.
b) Hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the study intervention, which may 
reduce the efficacy of the contraceptive method. In addition, consider if the hormonal contraception 
may interact with the study intervention.
c) Male condom and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure with friction).

COVID-19 APPENDIX
GUIDANCE ON STUDY CONDUCT DURING THE COVID-19 
It is recognized that the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may have an impact on 
the conduct of this clinical study due to, for example, self-isolation/quarantine by participants and 
study-site personnel; travel restrictions/limited access to public places, including hospitals; study 
site personnel being reassigned to critical tasks. 
In alignment with recent health authority guidance, the sponsor is providing options for study 
related participant management in the event of disruption to the conduct of the study. This guidance 
does not supersede any local or government requirements or the clinical judgement of the 
investigator to protect the health and well-being of participants and site staff. If, at any time, a 
participant’s safety is considered to be at risk, study intervention will be discontinued, and study 
follow-up will be conducted.
Scheduled visits that cannot be conducted in person at the study site will be performed to the extent 
possible remotely/virtually or delayed until such time that on-site visits can be resumed. At each 
contact, participants will be interviewed to collect safety data. Key efficacy endpoint assessments 
should be performed if required and as feasible. Participants will also be questioned regarding 
general health status to fulfill any physical examination requirement. 
Every effort should be made to adhere to protocol-specified assessments for participants on study 
intervention, including follow up. Modifications to protocol-required assessments may be 
permitted via COVID-19 Appendix after consultation with the participant, investigator, and the 
sponsor. Missed assessments/visits will be captured in the clinical trial management system for 
protocol deviations. Discontinuations of study interventions and withdrawal from the study should 
be documented with the prefix “COVID-19-related” in the case report form (CRF). 
The sponsor will continue to monitor the conduct and progress of the clinical study, and any 
changes will be communicated to the sites and to the health authorities according to local guidance. 
If a participant has tested positive for COVID 19, the investigator should contact the sponsor’s 
responsible medical officer to discuss plans for study intervention and follow-up. Modifications 
made to the study conduct as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic should be summarized in the 
clinical study report.

INTRODUCTION 
This study is designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride 
IR fixed-dose combination as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in Indian 
adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both canagliflozin and metformin 
is appropriate. 
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) for the 28431754DIA4032 describes the statistical analysis for 
participant information, safety, and efficacy data. 
1.1. 
Trial Objectives 
Primary Objective 
x 
The primary objective is to assess safety of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR fixed-
dose combination. 
Secondary Objective 
x 
The secondary objective is to assess efficacy of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR 
fixed-dose combination. 
Tertiary/Exploratory Objectives 
x 
The tertiary/exploratory objectives are to assess other efficacy parameters like FPG, PPG, 
bodyweight, waist circumference, BP and proportion of patients achieving HbA1c goal of 
below 7%. 
1.2. 
Trial Design 
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, phase 4 study in Indian adults with type 
2 diabetes mellitus to evaluate the safety and efficacy of canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride 
IR fixed-dose combination as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control when 
treatment with both canagliflozin and metformin is appropriate. 
A total of 276 participants consisting of male and female between 18 to 65 years of age will be 
enrolled in this study. Study participants will receive canagliflozin + metformin hydrochloride IR 
fixed-dose combination tablets at a dose determined by the investigator. Study participants will be 
asked to take one tablet orally twice daily with meals throughout the study period.  
The study will be conducted in 3 phases: a 7-day screening phase, a 24 weeks treatment phase 
extending from Day 1 (baseline) to completing at the Week 24 visit (or the end-of-treatment [EOT] 
visit for participants discontinuing study treatment early whichever occurs earlier), and a 28 days 
post-treatment phase- Telephone follow-up contact (or optional study visit, at the discretion of the 
investigator) approximately 28 days after the last dose of study treatment. The duration of 
individual participation will be approximately 29 weeks. 
1.3. 
Statistical Hypotheses for Trial Objectives 
The study will be descriptive in nature, no formal hypothesis testing will be conducted.

Sample Size Justification 
Approximately 276 patients will be enrolled to obtain data of at least 251 patients, considering 
10% dropout rate. Based on existing data available and considering treatment emergent adverse 
event rate to be 20.6% and margin of error 5%, a sample size of 251 will be required to yield a 
power of 80% and 5% level of significance. (Janssen Research & Development, 2014) 
Sample size is derived based on the formula:  
݊ൌ

ʹቁቃ
ଶ
݌ሺͳ െ݌ሻ
݀ଶ
 
Where in, n is calculated sample size, Z is degree of confidence (i.e. 95% which yields 1.96), d is 
maximum tolerated error or upper bound for the margin of error (0.05), p is proportion (0.206 
considering rate of treatment emergent adverse events to be 20.6%). 
1.5. 
Randomization and Blinding 
This is an open label and single arm study, randomization and blinding procedures are not 
applicable.

summarized based on all Enrolled analysis set. A listing of participants with a major protocol 
deviation will be provided.  
A listing of participants with a COVID-19 related major protocol deviation will be provided 
separately. 
4.6. 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Prior and Concomitant medications will be coded using the World Health Organization Drug 
Dictionary (WHO-DD). Prior medications are defined as any therapy used before the day of first 
dose (partial or complete) of study treatment. Concomitant medications are defined as any therapy 
used on or after the same day as the first dose of study treatment, including those that started before 
and continue on after the first dose of study treatment. 
Prior and concomitant medications will be summarized by ATC code 2 and decoded CM term.  
The data on prior and concomitant medications will be provided in separate listings. Listings will 
be repeated for participants who had covid-19 infection. 
Considerations to be taken while mapping the Prior and Concomitant medications: 
x 
If both start date and end date are missing, then this medication will be considered as both 
prior and concomitant medications. 
x 
If a medication record misses components of its start and/or end dates (day and/or month 
and/or year) will be handled as: 
x 
In case of partial start or end dates, the medication records will be allocated using the 
available partial information, without imputations. If, for example, only month and year 
are available, these will be compared to the month and the year of the date/time of the 
study treatment intake. 
x 
In case of a completely missing start date, the medication will be considered as having started 
before the study (prior of the study treatment intake).

x 
In case of a completely missing end date, the medication will be considered as ‘ongoing’ at 
the end of the study. 
Rescue medication 
New Antidiabetic medication started after the study drug is initiated. Concomitant medications 
with rescue medications will be summarized and listed. 
4.7. 
Medical History 
Medical History will be summarized and listed for all participants on all enrolled analysis set. 
A listing for pre-planned surgery/procedure will be provided. 
5. 
SAFETY 
All safety analyses will be performed on the safety analysis set based on actual treatment received, 
unless otherwise specified.  
The primary safety endpoint is the percentage (%) of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events 
(SAEs), unexpected adverse events or adverse drug reactions occurring over a study period of 24 
weeks from the first day of study treatment. Safety evaluations include the hypoglycemic episodes, 
safety laboratory tests (including chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), vital signs, body weight, 
height, physical examinations. 
For all continuous safety variables, descriptive statistics will include the N, mean, standard 
deviation, 95% CI, median, minimum, and maximum. Categorical variables will be summarized 
using frequency counts and percentages. 
5.1. 
Adverse Events 
The verbatim terms used in the CRF by investigators to identify adverse events will be coded using 
the available version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA version 24.1). 
Any AE occurring at or after the initial administration of study treatment through the day of last 
dose plus 28 days is considered to be treatment emergent. Treatment-emergent adverse events are 
adverse events with onset during the treatment phase or that are a consequence of a pre-existing 
condition that has worsened since baseline. If the event occurs on the day of the initial 
administration of study agent, and either event time or time of administration are missing, then the 
event will be assumed to be treatment emergent. If the event date is recorded as partial or 
completely missing, then the event will be considered to be treatment emergent unless it is known 
to be prior to the first administration of study treatment based on partial onset date or resolution 
date. All reported treatment-emergent adverse events will be included in the analysis. For each 
adverse event, the number and percentage of participants who experience at least 1 occurrence of 
the given event will be summarized. 
Summary tables will be provided for:

5.2. 
Clinical Laboratory Tests 
All clinical laboratory tests will be displayed for the participants included in the safety analysis 
set. This includes assessment of Chemistry, Hematology and Urinalysis.

weight, waist circumference, BP and proportion of patients achieving HbA1c goal of below 7%. 
6.2.1. 
Definition 
Secondary measures of efficacy include changes from baseline in parameters like FPG, PPG, body 
weight, waist circumference and blood pressure. Secondary parameters will be evaluated at week 
12 and week 24. The proportion of participants with HbA1c <7.0% at Week 24 will also be a key 
endpoint. 
6.2.2. 
Analysis Methods 
Descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum) for FPG, 
PPG, BP, Weight, waist circumference and their change from baseline to week 12 and week 24 
will be presented based on efficacy analysis set for each of the following parameters: 
x 
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) in mg/dL 
x 
2-hr Post-prandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) in mg/dL 
x 
Blood Pressure (BP) in mmHg 
x 
Body Weight in Kg 
x 
Waist Circumference in cm 
The proportion of participants with HbA1c <7.0% will be summarized at baseline, Week 12 and 
Week 24.  
A separate listing for all the efficacy endpoints (HbA1c, FPG, PPG, BP, Weight, waist 
circumference) will be provided for all participants based on efficacy analysis set.

consequence of the underlying disease or condition under investigation (disease related) or 
background regimen. 
For the purposes of this study the following events will be considered anticipated events: 
x 
Urinary tract infection  
x 
Genital mycotic infection  
x 
Polyuria/Pollakiuria  
x 
Volume depletion adverse events
