Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To show superiority of the 3 dulaglutide doses, including the two higher doses (4.5 mg and 3.0 mg) and the approved 1.5 mg dose to placebo in change in HbA1c.;Secondary Objective: To determine if the two higher doses of Trulicity are effective and safe. Efficacy: To compare each dulaglutide arm (4.5 mg, 3.0 mg, 1.5 mg) to the placebo arm at 18 weeks for secondary efficacy parameters. Safety: To compare each dulaglutide arm (4.5 mg, 3.0 mg, 1.5 mg) to the placebo arm for selected safety parameters at 18 weeks. PK/PD: To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of  dulaglutide and establish the relationships between dose/exposure and key safety and efficacy measures.;Primary end point(s): Change in HbA1c from baseline ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 18 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Proportion of patients achieving HbA1c target of <7.0% • The change in fasting serum glucose (FSG; central laboratory) from baseline • The change in body weight from baseline • Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) • Discontinuation of study drug due to adverse events (AEs) • Incidence and rate of hypoglycemia (severe, total, documented symptomatic, and nocturnal) • PK parameters (eg, Cmax, AUC) • Pharmacodynamic evaluations will include HbA1c, FSG, body weight, QTcF interval, and heart rate ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • 18 weeks • Baseline and 18 weeks • Baseline and 18 weeks • Baseline through 18 weeks • 18 weeks • 18 weeks • Week 0 through week 22 • Week 0 through week 22 •
