MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)Baseline, 28 WeeksHbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least-squares (LS) mean and standard error (SE) changes from baseline in HbA1c at 28 weeks were measured using mixed model regression and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) with treatment, pooled country, visit, and treatment-by -visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline as covariate, and participant as a random effect.

Number of Participants With Investigator Reported and Adjudicated Cardiovascular EventsBaseline through 28 WeeksCardiovascular (CV) adverse events (AEs) were adjudicated by an independent committee of physicians with cardiology expertise external to the sponsor. Deaths occurring during the study treatment period and nonfatal CV AEs were to be adjudicated. Nonfatal CV events that were to be adjudicated were myocardial infarction; hospitalization for unstable angina; hospitalization for heart failure; coronary interventions (such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); and cerebrovascular events, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA/stroke), and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Percentage of Participants With Self-Reported Events of HypoglycemiaBaseline through 28 WeeksHypoglycemic events (HE) were classified as severe (defined as episodes requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer resuscitative actions), documented symptomatic (defined as any time a participant feels that he/she is experiencing symptoms and/or signs associated with hypoglycemia, and has a plasma glucose level of =\<3.9 mmol/L), asymptomatic (defined as events not accompanied by typical symptoms of hypoglycemia but with a measured plasma glucose of =\<3.9 mmol/L), nocturnal (defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking), or probable symptomatic (defined as events during which symptoms of hypoglycemia were not accompanied by a plasma glucose determination).

Percentage of Participants With Self-Reported Events of Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemic events (HE) were classified as severe (defined as episodes requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer resuscitative actions), documented symptomatic (defined as any time a participant feels that he/she is experiencing symptoms and/or signs associated with hypoglycemia, and has a plasma glucose level of =\<3.9 mmol/L), asymptomatic (defined as events not accompanied by typical symptoms of hypoglycemia but with a measured plasma glucose of =\<3.9 mmol/L), nocturnal (defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking), or probable symptomatic (defined as events during which symptoms of hypoglycemia were not accompanied by a plasma glucose determination). The percentage of participants with self-reported hypoglycemic events is presented.

Time frame: Baseline through 28 Weeks

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Rate of Hypoglycemic Events up to 28 Weeks

The rate of total hypoglycemic events any type per 30 days is presented. The hypoglycemia rate per 30 days during defined period is calculated by the number of hypoglycemia events within the period/number of days participant at risk within the period\*30 days.

Time frame: Baseline through 28 Weeks

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.
