Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Type 1 diabetes mellitus 2. Have been treated with ANY other antihyperglycemic medications (other than sulfonylurea) at the time of the first study visit or within 3 months of the first study visit 3. Have used insulin therapy (outside of pregnancy) any time in the past 2 years, except for short-term treatment of acute conditions, and up to a maximum of 4 weeks. Any insulin within 3 months prior to the first study visit is exclusionary. 4. Have been treated with drugs that promote weight loss within 3 months of the first study visit 5. Are receiving chronic (>14 days) systemic glucocorticoid therapy or have received such therapy within the 4 weeks immediately prior to the first study visit 6. Have had any of the following CV conditions within 2 months prior to the first study visit: acute myocardial infarction, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or Class IV heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident (stroke) 7. Have a known clinically significant gastric emptying abnormality (eg, severe diabetic gastroparesis or gastric outlet obstruction) or have undergone gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery or restrictive bariatric surgery (eg, Lap-Band®) 8. Have acute or chronic hepatitis, signs and symptoms of any other liver disease, or alanine transaminase (ALT) level =2.5 times the upper limit of the reference range 9.

Have any self or family history of type 2A or type 2B multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN 2A or 2B) in the absence of known C-cell hyperplasia (this exclusion includes those patients with a family history of MEN 2A or 2B, whose family history for the syndrome is RET negative; the only exception for this exclusion will be for patients whose family members with MEN 2A or 2B have a known RET mutation and the potential patient for the study is negative for that RET mutation) 12. Have any self or family history of medullary C-cell hyperplasia, focal hyperplasia, carcinoma (including sporadic, familial or part of MEN 2A or 2B syndrome)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that once-weekly dulaglutide 1.5 mg is superior to placebo as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 24 weeks (change from baseline) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on concomitant sulfonylurea therapy;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint in this study is change in HbA1c from baseline to 24 weeks;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: • To compare the effect of dulaglutide and placebo treatments at 24 wks: o Change in body weight and body mass index from baseline o Fasting blood glucose (central lab) and blood glucose values from the 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose o Percentage of patients attaining HbA1c <7.0% and =6.5% o Percentage of patients requiring an additional antihyperglycemic therapy • To compare the safety of dulaglutide and placebo treatment groups at 24 weeks o Cardiovascular (CV) system-related safety o Pancreas-related safety o Thyroid gland-related safety o Glycemia-related safety: self-reported hypoglycemic events Dulaglutide anti-drug antibody titer and immune system-related adverse events

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): o Change in body weight and body mass index (BMI) from baseline o Fasting blood glucose (central lab) and blood glucose values from the 7-point self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles (actual values and change from baseline) o Percentage of patients attaining HbA1c <7.0% and =6.5% o Percentage of patients requiring an additional antihyperglycemic therapy due to severe, persistent hyperglycemia, and time to initiation of the intervention o reported and adjudicated CV events o events of adjudicated acute pancreatitis, pancreatic enzymes o Thyroid gland-related safety: serum calcitonin o self-reported hypoglycemic events o Dulaglutide anti-drug antibody titer and immune system-related adverse events;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24
