Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 12Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

HbA1c is used to show in participants with diabetes, how well their diabetes is being controlled. The HbA1c test gives the average blood glucose levels over the pervious two to three months. The sample for HbA1c assessment was collected at Visit 5 (Week 0) and Visit 12 (Week 12). Baseline value was defined as the assessment done at Week 0. The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value (Week 0) from the individual post-Baseline (Week 12) value. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model for analysis was used with the terms for gender, prior therapy (diet \& exercise/monotherapy), treatment, region and Baseline measurement (continuous covariate). Last observation carried forward (LOCF) dataset defined as carrying forward of the last valid observation recorded on-treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) for participants who withdrew from the study to all remaining main phase visits was used. Adjusted mean is reported as least square (LS) mean.
