Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: 5 mg Tirzepatide

5 milligrams (mg) tirzepatide administered subcutaneously (SC) once a week.

Drug: Tirzepatide
Administered SC.
Other Names:
  • LY3298176
  • Experimental: 10 mg Tirzepatide

    10 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week.

    Drug: Tirzepatide
    Administered SC.
    Other Names:
  • LY3298176
  • Experimental: 15 mg Tirzepatide

    15 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week.

    Drug: Tirzepatide
    Administered SC.
    Other Names:
  • LY3298176
  • Active Comparator: Insulin Glargine

    Insulin glargine administered SC once a day. Doses were individualized and titrated according to protocol-defined targets. The starting dose of insulin glargine was 10 IU/day at bedtime, titrated to a FBG <100 mg/dL, following a treat-to-target (TTT) algorithm.

    Drug: Insulin Glargine
    Administered SC

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (10 mg and 15 mg) [Baseline, Week 52]

      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 determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in HbA1c (5 mg) [Baseline, Week 52]

      HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    2. Change From Baseline in Body Weight [Baseline, Week 52]

      LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    3. Percentage of Participants With HbA1c of <7.0% [Week 52]

      HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Imputed data includes observed value and imputed value if endpoint measure is missing.

    4. Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose [Baseline, Week 52]

      LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    5. Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Average 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values [Baseline, Week 52]

      The self-monitored plasma glucose (SMBG) data were collected at the following 7 time points: Morning Premeal - Fasting, Morning 2-hour Postmeal, Midday Premeal, Midday 2-hour Postmeal, Evening Premeal, Evening 2-hour Postmeal and Bedtime. LS mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with variables Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    6. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Steady State Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Zero to Tau (AUC 0-Tau) of Tirzepatide [1 to 24 hours, 24 to 96 hours, or 120 to 168 hours post dose of Week 7, 15, 23, 35]

      Pharmacokinetics (PK): Steady State Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Zero to Tau (AUC 0-Tau) of Tirzepatide

    7. Rate of Hypoglycemia With Blood Glucose <54 Milligram/Deciliter (mg/dL) [<3.0 (Millimole/Liter (mmol/L))] or Severe Hypoglycemia [Baseline through Week 52]

      The hypoglycemia events were defined by participant reported events with blood glucose <54mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L) or severe hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as an episode with severe cognitive impairment requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. These episodes may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. Post-baseline comparisons between treatment and control group was evaluated using negative binomial model with variables : Number of episodes = Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Pooled Country + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment, with log (exposure in days/365.25) as an offset variable

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (10 mg and 15 mg)
    Description 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 determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
    Time Frame Baseline, Week 52

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had a baseline and at least 1 post-baseline value, excluding participants discontinuing study drug due to inadvertent enrollment
    Arm/Group Title 10 mg Tirzepatide 15 mg Tirzepatide Insulin Glargine
    Arm/Group Description 10 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week. 15 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week. Insulin glargine administered SC once a day. Doses were individualized and titrated according to protocol-defined targets. The starting dose of insulin glargine was 10 IU/day at bedtime, titrated to a FBG <100 mg/dL, following a treat-to-target (TTT) algorithm.

    6. Secondary Outcome
    Title Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Average 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values
    Description The self-monitored plasma glucose (SMBG) data were collected at the following 7 time points: Morning Premeal - Fasting, Morning 2-hour Postmeal, Midday Premeal, Midday 2-hour Postmeal, Evening Premeal, Evening 2-hour Postmeal and Bedtime. LS mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with variables Baseline + Pooled Country + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).

    Arm/Group Title 5 mg Tirzepatide 10 mg Tirzepatide 15 mg Tirzepatide Insulin Glargine
    Arm/Group Description 5 milligrams (mg) tirzepatide administered subcutaneously (SC) once a week. 10 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week. 15 mg tirzepatide administered SC once a week. Insulin glargine administered SC once a day. Doses were individualized and titrated according to protocol-defined targets. The starting dose of insulin glargine was 10 IU/day at bedtime, titrated to a FBG <100 mg/dL, following a treat-to-target (TTT) algorithm.

    8. Secondary Outcome
    Title Rate of Hypoglycemia With Blood Glucose <54 Milligram/Deciliter (mg/dL) [<3.0 (Millimole/Liter (mmol/L))] or Severe Hypoglycemia
    Description The hypoglycemia events were defined by participant reported events with blood glucose <54mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L) or severe hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as an episode with severe cognitive impairment requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. These episodes may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. Post-baseline comparisons between treatment and control group was evaluated using negative binomial model with variables : Number of episodes = Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Pooled Country + Baseline SGLT-2i use Flag (Yes, No) + Treatment, with log (exposure in days/365.25) as an offset variable
