Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate that once-weekly dulaglutide (1.5 mg dose) is noninferior to once-daily liraglutide (1.8 mg dose) as measured by HbA1c at 26 weeks (change from baseline) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are taking a stable dose of metformin;Secondary Objective: - If noninferiority is passed, to assess if dulaglutide is superior to liraglutide at 26 weeks (measured by change in HbA1c from baseline). To compare dulaglutide and liraglutide for: - Change in body weight & BMI - FPG & fasting plasma glucose 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose profiles - % patients attaining HbA1c <7.0% and =6.5% -Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 steady-state ß-cell function - Incidence of gastrointestinal AEs, injection site reactions & allergic or hypersensitivity reactions - Reported & adjudicated CV events, ECG parameters, heart rate & blood pressure - Serum calcitonin - Events of adjudicated acute pancreatitis and pancreatic enzymes - Hypoglycemic events - % patients requiring an additional intervention due to severe persistent hyperglycemia; & time to initiation of the additional intervention - Lipid panel - To evaluate anti-drug antibodies and adverse effect in those patients randomised to dulaglutide ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint in this study is change in HbA1c from baseline to 26 weeks;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 26 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change in HbA1c from baseline to 26 weeks - Change in body weight & BMI - FPG & 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose profiles - % patients attaining HbA1c <7.0% and =6.5% - Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 steady state ß-cell function (HOMA2-%B) - Incidence of gastrointestinal AEs, injection site reactions, & allergic or hypersensitivity reactions - Reported and adjudicated CV events, ECG parameters, heart rate, & blood pressure - Serum calcitonin - Events of adjudicated acute pancreatitis and pancreatic enzymes - Hypoglycemic events - % patients requiring an additional intervention due to severe persistent hyperglycemia; and time to initiation of the additional intervention - Lipid panel - Anti-drug antibody titer and adverse effect in those patients randomized to dulaglutide ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 26 weeks
