Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

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

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 52 [Baseline and Week 52]

    HbA1c is measured as a Percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 52 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for continuous baseline HbA1c , creatinine clearance at baseline and previous anti-diabetic medication.

  2. HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 18 [Baseline and Week 18]

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

  3. HbA1c Change From Baseline at Week 24 [Baseline and Week 24]
