Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 24Baseline and week 24

HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 24 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and previous anti-diabetic medication.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 6Baseline and week 6

HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 6 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and previous anti-diabetic medication.

HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 12Baseline and week 12

HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 12 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and previous anti-diabetic medication.

FPG Change From Baseline at Week 6Baseline and week 6

This change from baseline reflects the Week 6 FPG minus the baseline FPG. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline FPG and previous anti-diabetic medication.

FPG Change From Baseline at Week 12Baseline and week 12

This change from baseline reflects the Week 12 FPG minus the baseline FPG. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline FPG and previous anti-diabetic medication.

Percentage of Patients With HbA1c <7.0% at Week 24Baseline and week 24

The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 7.0% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c \>= 7.0%. Only patients with baseline HbA1c \>= 7%

FPG Change From Baseline at Week 24Baseline and week 24

This change from baseline reflects the Week 24 FPG minus the baseline FPG. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline FPG and previous anti-diabetic medication.

Percentage of Patients With HbA1c<6.5% at Week 24Baseline and week 24

The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 6.5% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c \>= 6.5%.

HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 18Baseline and week 18

HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 18 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and previous anti-diabetic medication.

FPG Change From Baseline at Week 18Baseline and week 18

This change from baseline reflects the Week 18 FPG minus the baseline FPG. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline FPG and previous anti-diabetic medication.

Percentage of Patients With HbA1c<7.0% at Week 24Baseline and week 24

The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 7.0% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c \>= 7.0%.

Percentage of Patients With HbA1c <6.5% at Week 24Baseline and week 24

The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 6.5% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c \>= 6.5%. Only patients with baseline HbA1c \>= 6.5%.

Adjusted Means for 2h Post Prandial Blood Glucose (PPG) Change From Baseline at Week 24Baseline and week 24

This change from baseline reflects the Week 24 2h PPG minus the baseline 2h PPG. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c, baseline PPG and previous anti-diabetic medication.

Percentage of Patients With HbA1c Lowering by 0.5% at Week 24Baseline and week 24

The percentage of patients with an HbA1c reduction from baseline \>= 0.5% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c reduction less than 0.5%.
