- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to Inadequate Glycaemic Control Weeks 26-104 Inadequate glycaemic control was defined as glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) or greater at two consecutive visits after the first 26 weeks of treatment and up to 104 weeks. 25%, median (50%) and 75% percentiles for the cumulative distribution function, are obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival function. HbA1c was recorded at weeks 38, 52, 65, 78, 91 and 104.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participants Who Achieve HbA1c ≤7.0% Without Treatment Emergent Severe Hypoglycaemic Episodes or BG Confirmed Symptomatic Hypoglycaemic Episodes Week 104/Premature treatment discontinuation Severe or blood glucose (BG) confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as episodes that were severe according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) classification (required assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions) or BG confirmed by a plasma glucose value \<3.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as treatment-emergent if the onset of the episode occurred on or after the first day of trial product administration, and no later than the day after the last day on trial product. Participants who achieved HbA1c ≤7.0% without treatment emergent severe hypoglycaemic episodes or BG confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes (yes/no) is presented.
Change in Body Weight Week 0, week 104/premature treatment discontinuation Change from baseline (week 0) in body weight at week 104 or at premature treatment discontinuation is presented.
Change in Lipids: HDL Cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides Week 0, week 104/premature treatment discontinuation Change from baseline (week 0) in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) at week 104 or at premature treatment discontinuation is presented.
Time to Premature Treatment Discontinuation (for Any Reason Including Inadequate Glycaemic Control) Weeks 0-104 The time to premature treatment discontinuation (for any reason including inadequate glycaemic control) was analysed and presented using the generalised log rank test. 25%, median (50%) and 75% percentiles for the cumulative distribution function, are obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival function.
