Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (Pooled Doses) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least square (LS) mean in HbA1c was calculated using a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) based mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) and adjusted by, baseline + insulin Use + metformin Use + treatment + time + treatment\*time (Type III sum of squares). Variance-covariance structure = unstructured (for actual value) / unstructured (for change from baseline).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Self-Reported Events of HypoglycemiaWeek 26

Summary and analysis of Incidence of all hypoglycemia with Plasma Glucose \<54mg/dL.

Change From Baseline in Pancreatic Enzymes at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Serum Amylase (total and pancreas-derived) and lipase concentrations were measured.

Number of Participants With Thyroid Treatment-Emergent Adverse EventsWeek 26

Number of Participants with Thyroid Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events were summarized.

Percentage of Participants With Injection Site ReactionsWeek 26

The percentage of participants with at least one treatment-emergent injection site reaction is presented. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Number of Participants With Adjudicated PancreatitisWeek 26

The number of participants with pancreatitis confirmed by adjudication is summarized cumulatively at 26 weeks. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Individual Doses) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. LS mean in HbA1c was calculated using a REML based MMRM and adjusted by, baseline + insulin use + metformin use + treatment + time + treatment\*time (Type III sum of squares). Variance-covariance structure = unstructured (for actual value) / unstructured (for change from baseline).

Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Fasting blood glucose is a test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a blood sample after an overnight fast. Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis and adjusted by baseline, strata, treatment, time, treatment\*time, (Type III sum of squares). Variance-Covariance structure = Unstructured (for actual value) / Unstructured (for change from baseline). Strata refer to: insulin use + metformin use + baseline HbA1c group \[ less than (\<) 8%, greater than or equal to (\>=) 8%).

Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

BMI is an estimate of body fat based on body weight divided by height squared. LS mean were calculated using a MMRM analysis and adjusted by baseline, strata, treatment, time, treatment\*time, (Type III sum of squares). Variance-Covariance structure = Unstructured (for actual value) / Unstructured (for change from baseline). Strata refer to: insulin use + metformin use + baseline HbA1c group (\< 8%, \>= 8%).

Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue for Severe, Persistent HyperglycemiaWeek 26

Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue for Severe, Persistent Hyperglycemia was summarized.

Percentage of Participants With HbA1c ≤7.0%Week 26

The percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants reaching target HbA1c by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100.

Change From Baseline in Serum Calcitonin at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Change from Baseline in Serum Calcitonin was evaluated.

Percentage of Participants With Allergic, Hypersensitivity ReactionsWeek 26

The percentage of Participants with Allergic and hypersensitivity reactions that were considered possibly related to study drug by the investigator are presented. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

PK: Area Under the Concentration Time Curve Over a 1-week Interval of Dulaglutide at Steady-State [AUC(0-168)ss]Week 9: pre-dose,1 to 12 hours post dose and 24 to 96 hours post dose; Week 13: predose and 1 to 12 hours post dose; Week 26: predose; Week 39: up to 2 days postdose; Week 52 and Week 56: PK sample can be taken at any time during the visit

PK: Area Under the Concentration Time Curve over a 1-week interval of Dulaglutide at Steady-State \[AUC(0-168)ss\] was derived by a population pharmacokinetics approach. As part of addendum, additional PK samples were taken at week 9.

Number of Participants With Anti-Dulaglutide AntibodiesBaseline through Week 56

Dulaglutide anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were assessed at baseline, Weeks 26 and 56. A participant was considered to have treatment-emergent (TE) dulaglutide ADAs if the participant had at least 1 titer that was TE relative to baseline, defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from baseline measurement.

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Concentration of Dulaglutide at Steady-state (Cmax,ss)Week 9: pre-dose,1 to 12 hours post dose and 24 to 96 hours post dose; Week 13: predose and 1 to 12 hours post dose; Week 26: predose; Week 39: up to 2 days postdose; Week 52 and Week 56: PK sample can be taken at any time during the visit

PK: Maximum Concentration of Dulaglutide at steady-state (Cmax,ss) was derived by a population pharmacokinetics approach. As part of addendum, additional PK samples were taken at week 9.
