Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) From Baseline to Week 28Baseline to Week 28

Absolute change in HbA1c from baseline (Day 1, Visit 3) to Week 28/Study Termination (Visit 11). Hypothesis testing on the primary endpoint followed a serial gated procedure with all tests carried out at a 2-sided significance level of 0.05 to protect the family-wise error rate. These tests were conducted sequentially, and are presented in the statistical analysis section below in the order in which they were performed; each test was the gatekeeper of later tests.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose Concentrations From Baseline to Week 28Baseline to Week 28

The change in fasting plasma glucose concentrations from baseline (Day 1) to Week 28/Study Termination.

Change in Body Weight (kg) From Baseline to Week 28Baseline to Week 28

The change in body weight (kg) from baseline (Day 1) to Week 28/Study Termination.

Percentage of Subjects Achieving HbA1c <7% at Week 28Baseline to Week 28

Percentage of subjects achieving HbA1c target values of \< 7.0% at Week 28/Study Termination.

Change in 2-hour Postprandial Glucose Concentrations From Baseline to Week 16 (Visit 8)Baseline to Week 16

The change in 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose from baseline (Day 1) to Visit 8 (Week 16) was analyzed using a general linear model including treatment, and baseline HbA1c stratum (\< 9% or ≥ 9%) as fixed factors, and the baseline 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose concentrations as a covariate.
