Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adjusted Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity at Week 12 (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF])From Baseline to Week 12Baseline was defined as the last assessment prior to the start date and time of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. In cases where time of the first dose or time of the assessment was not available, baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. Measurements were obtained during the randomization visit and Week 12 in the double-blind period.

Outcome results

Primary

Adjusted Mean Percent Change From Baseline in Insulin Sensitivity at Week 12 (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF])

Baseline was defined as the last assessment prior to the start date and time of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. In cases where time of the first dose or time of the assessment was not available, baseline was defined as the last assessment on or prior to the date of the first dose of the double-blind study medication. Measurements were obtained during the randomization visit and Week 12 in the double-blind period.

Time frame: From Baseline to Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who received study medication and had nonmissing values at baseline and Week 12 (LOCF)
