Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. HbA1c Change From Baseline in Patients With Mild or Moderate Renal Impairment [Baseline and 24 weeks]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 24 weeks, for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Note adjusted means are provided.

  2. HbA1c Change From Baseline in Patients With Mild Renal Impairment [Baseline and 24 weeks]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 24 weeks, for patients with mild renal impairment. Note adjusted means are provided.

  3. HbA1c Change From Baseline in Patients With Moderate Renal Impairment [Baseline and 24 weeks]

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 24 weeks, for patients with moderate renal impairment. Note adjusted means are provided.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Hypoglycaemic Events [From first drug administration until 7 days after last trial medication intake, up to 458 days]

    Percentage of patients who experienced a hypoglycaemic event. A hypoglycaemic event was regarded as confirmed if it was documented as an adverse event with plasma glucose values <= 70 mg/dL (<=3.9mmol/L) measured or with a documentation that the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon or other resuscitative action had been required.
