GroupInterventionDescription
5 Milligram (mg) TirzepatideTirzepatideParticipants received 5 mg of tirzepatide administered as subcutaneous (SC) injection via a single-dose pen (SDP) once weekly (QW) for 40 weeks. The starting dose of tirzepatide was 2.5 mg QW, which increased by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks until the maintenance dose of 5 mg was reached.
10 mg TirzepatideTirzepatideParticipants received 10 mg of tirzepatide administered as SC injection via a SDP QW for 40 weeks. The starting dose of tirzepatide was 2.5 mg QW, which increased by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks (2.5 mg to 5 mg to 7.5 mg to 10 mg) until the maintenance dose of 10 mg was reached.
15 mg TirzepatideTirzepatideParticipants received 15 mg of tirzepatide administered as SC injection via a SDP QW for 40 weeks. The starting dose of tirzepatide was 2.5 mg QW, which increased by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks (2.5 mg to 5 mg to 7.5 mg to 10 mg to 12.5 mg to 15 mg) until the maintenance dose of 15 mg was reached.
PlaceboPlaceboParticipants received tirzepatide matched placebo administered as SC injection via a SDP QW for 40 weeks.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)Baseline, Week 40

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least squares (LS) mean was calculated using ANCOVA model with Baseline + Prior Antihyperglycemic Use + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With HbA1c Target Values of <7.0% (<53 Millimole/Mole [mmol/Mol])Week 40

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. 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. Percentage of participants with HbA1c \<7.0% (\<53 mmol/mol) is reported here.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum GlucoseBaseline, Week 40

LS mean was calculated using ANCOVA model with Baseline + Prior Antihyperglycemic Use + Baseline HbA1c Group (\<=8.5%, \>8.5%) + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

Percentage of Participants With HbA1c Target Values of ≤6.5% (≤48 mmol/Mol)Week 40

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. 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. Percentage of participants with HbA1c ≤6.5% (≤48 mmol/Mol) is reported here.

Change From Baseline in Body WeightBaseline, Week 40

LS mean was calculated using ANCOVA model with Baseline + Prior Antihyperglycemic Use + Baseline HbA1c Group (\<=8.5%, \>8.5%) + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.

Percentage of Participants With HbA1c Target Values of <5.7% (<39 mmol/Mol)Week 40

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. 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. Percentage of participants with HbA1c \<5.7% (\<39 mmol/mol) is reported here.

Change From Baseline in Daily Average 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose Profiles (SMBG)Baseline, Week 40

The SMBG data were collected at the following 7 time points: Morning Premeal - Fasting, Morning 2-hour Post meal, Midday Premeal, Midday 2-hour Post meal, Evening Premeal, Evening 2-hour Post meal and Bedtime. The daily average was calculated as the average of the 7 blood glucose values collected on a particular day. LS Mean was calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Baseline HbA1c (\<=8.5%, \>8.5%) + Prior Antihyperglycemic Use + Treatment + Time + Treatment\*Time(Type III sum of squares). Variance-Covariance structure (Change from Baseline) = Unstructured.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Weight Loss of ≥5%Week 40

Percentage of Participants who Achieved Weight Loss ≥5% is reported here.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Weight Loss of ≥10%Week 40

Percentage of Participants who Achieved Weight Loss ≥10% is reported here.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Weight Loss of ≥15%Week 40

Percentage of Participants who Achieved Weight Loss ≥15% is reported here.
