Here's the EXAMINE NEJM article:
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1305889
There were ~2700 patients per group. Data below is for placebo on left and alogliptin on right. It lists the SoC agent, number of placebo pateints on SoC (% of placebo patients on SoC), number of alogliptin patients on SoC (% of alogliptin pateints on SoC). If you really want to dig into the details you can compare SoC in BETonMACE to EXAMINE. This is from Table 2 in the EXAMINE NEJM paper. There are some differences, but that is not too surprising.
