AE, adverse event; PBO, placebo; CANA, canagliflozin; UTI, urinary tract infection.

*All AEs are reported for regardless of rescue medication; hypoglycaemia episodes are reported for prior to rescue medication.

Possibly, probably, or very likely related to study drug, as assessed by investigators.

For patients <65 years: PBO, n = 263; CANA 100 mg, n = 327; CANA 300 mg, n = 327; for patients ≥65 years: PBO, n = 71; CANA 100 mg, n = 81; CANA 300 mg, n = 77.

§Reported terms included balanitis, balanitis candida, balanoposthitis, and genital infection fungal in both age groups.

||For patients <65 years: PBO, n = 246; CANA 100 mg, n = 347; CANA 300 mg, n = 358; for patients ≥65 years: PBO, n = 66; CANA 100 mg, n = 78; CANA 300 mg, n = 72.

Reported terms included vaginal infection, vulvovaginal candidiasis, vulvovaginal mycotic infection, and vulvovaginitis in both age groups, and genital infection fungal and vulvitis in patients aged <65 years.

#Reported terms included micturition urgency, nocturia, pollakiuria, polyuria, dry mouth, polydipsia, and thirst in both age groups, and urine output increased in patients aged <65 years.
