Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline (BL) in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52 [Baseline and Week 52]

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The BL HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from BL was calculated as the value at Week 52 minus the value at BL. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): change = treatment + BL HbA1c + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing post-BL HbA1c values; the last non-missing post-BL on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. HbA1c values obtained after hyperglycemic rescue were treated as missing and were replaced with pre-rescue values. One Intent-to-Treat (ITT) participant (par.) had all post-BL HbA1c measurements occur after hyperglycemic rescue. This par. is included in the ITT Population counts but did not contribute to this analysis.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 104 and 156 [Baseline and Weeks 104 and 156]

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. This analysis used observed HbA1c values, excluding those obtained after hyperglycemia rescue; no missing data imputation was performed.

  2. Time to Hyperglycemia Rescue [From the start of study medication until the end of the treatment (up to Week 156)]

    Participants who experienced persistent hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) could have qualified for hyperglycemia rescue. The conditions for hyperglycemia rescue were as follows: FPG >=280 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) between >=Week 2 and <Week 4; FPG >=250 mg/dL between >=Week 4 and <Week 12; HbA1c >=8.5% and a <=0.5% reduction from Baseline between >=Week 12 and <Week 24; HbA1c >=8.5% between >=Week 24 and <Week 48; HbA1c >=8.0% between >= Week 48 and <Week 156. Participants could have been rescued at any time on or after Week 2. Time to hyperglycemia rescue is defined as the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of hyperglycemia rescue plus 1 day, or the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of the last visit during the active treatment period plus 1 day for participants not requiring rescue. This time was divided by 7 to express the result in weeks.

  3. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 52 [Baseline and Week 52]

    The FPG test measures blood sugar levels after the participant has not eaten (fasted) for 12 to 14 hours. The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. The LOCF method was used to impute missing post-Baseline FPG values. FPG values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with pre-rescue values. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on ANCOVA: change = treatment + Baseline weight + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy.

  4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 156 [Baseline and Week 156]

    The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline FPG minus the Baseline FPG.

  5. Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful HbA1c Response Levels of <6.5%, <7%, and <7.5% at Week 52 [Week 52]

    The number of participants who achieved the HbA1c treatment goal (i.e., HbA1c response levels of <6.5%, <6.5%, and <7.0% at Week 52) were assessed.

  6. Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinically Meaningful HbA1c Response Levels of <6.5%, <7%, and <7.5% at Week 156 [Week 156]

    The number of participants who achieved the HbA1c treatment goal (i.e., HbA1c response levels of <6.5%, <6.5%, and <7.0% at Week 156) were assessed.

  7. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 52 [Baseline and Week 52]

    The Baseline value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline weight minus the Baseline weight. The LOCF method was used to impute missing post-Baseline weight values. Weight values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with prerescue values. Based on ANCOVA: change = treatment + Baseline weight + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy.

  8. Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 156 [Baseline and Week 156]

    The Baseline value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline weight minus the Baseline weight.

Outcome Measures

1. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 104 and 156
Description HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. This analysis used observed HbA1c values, excluding those obtained after hyperglycemia rescue; no missing data imputation was performed.
Time Frame Baseline and Weeks 104 and 156

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
ITT Population with observed values. Only those participants with a value at Baseline and at the specified visit were analyzed (represented by n=X, X in the category titles).

2. Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline (BL) in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 52
Description HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The BL HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from BL was calculated as the value at Week 52 minus the value at BL. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): change = treatment + BL HbA1c + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing post-BL HbA1c values; the last non-missing post-BL on-treatment measurement was used to impute the missing measurement. HbA1c values obtained after hyperglycemic rescue were treated as missing and were replaced with pre-rescue values. One Intent-to-Treat (ITT) participant (par.) had all post-BL HbA1c measurements occur after hyperglycemic rescue. This par. is included in the ITT Population counts but did not contribute to this analysis.

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Time to Hyperglycemia Rescue
Description Participants who experienced persistent hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) could have qualified for hyperglycemia rescue. The conditions for hyperglycemia rescue were as follows: FPG >=280 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) between >=Week 2 and <Week 4; FPG >=250 mg/dL between >=Week 4 and <Week 12; HbA1c >=8.5% and a <=0.5% reduction from Baseline between >=Week 12 and <Week 24; HbA1c >=8.5% between >=Week 24 and <Week 48; HbA1c >=8.0% between >= Week 48 and <Week 156. Participants could have been rescued at any time on or after Week 2. Time to hyperglycemia rescue is defined as the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of hyperglycemia rescue plus 1 day, or the time between the date of the first dose of study medication and the date of the last visit during the active treatment period plus 1 day for participants not requiring rescue. This time was divided by 7 to express the result in weeks.
Time Frame From the start of study medication until the end of the treatment (up to Week 156)

4. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 52
Description The FPG test measures blood sugar levels after the participant has not eaten (fasted) for 12 to 14 hours. The Baseline FPG value is the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. The LOCF method was used to impute missing post-Baseline FPG values. FPG values obtained after hyperglycemia rescue were treated as missing and replaced with pre-rescue values. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value. Based on ANCOVA: change = treatment + Baseline weight + prior myocardial infarction history + age category + region + current antidiabetic therapy.
