Outcome results

Primary

Change in HbA1c From Baseline (Week 0) to Week 24

Mean Change in HbA1c (%) from Baseline to Week 24 with LOCF, ITT population LS mean (SE)

Time frame: Week 24

Population: Conducted analyses of ITT population of change in HbA1c from baseline (Week 0) to Week 24. If the Wk 24 measurement was missing, the last valid post-baseline observation (LOCF) algorithm was used to impute Week 24 value (1 on-treatment value required). Efficacy data collected after the initiation of rescue therapy was excluded from the analyses.
