Sponsored by:	Sanofi-Aventis
Information provided by:	Sanofi-Aventis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00478972

Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of SR141716 (rimonabant) compared to placebo on change in HbA1c and on relative change in body weight over 36 weeks in obese type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone.

The secondary objectives are:

To evaluate the effect of SR141716 compared to placebo on other parameters related to the glucose control, waist circumference, Body Mass Index and metabolic parameters
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SR141716 compared to placebo
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of SR141716
