Change From Baseline in Treatment Related Impact Measures-Diabetes (TRIM-D) Total ScoreBaseline and Months 8 and 16The TRIM-D is a 28 item treatment satisfaction measure with 5 domains assessing Treatment Burden, Daily Life, Diabetes Management, Compliance and Psychological Health. The raw score ranges for each subscale were: treatment burden (6 to 30), daily life (5 to 25), diabetes management (5 to 25), compliance (4 to 20) and psychological health (8 to 40), higher scores indicating better health state. Total raw score was determined by summing the raw scores for each of the subscales and the total score (transformed) was determined as \[(raw score minus lowest possible raw score)/possible raw score range\] x100. The possible total (transformed) score range is 0-100, where higher scores indicated better health state. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.

It provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value for health status. The EQ-5D self-reported questionnaire includes a visual analog scale (VAS), which records the respondent's self-rated health status on a graduated (0-100) scale, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.

Number of participants with on-therapy non-fatal SAEs are presented. Safety Population comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation of Investigational Product (AELD)Up to 2.7 yearsThe number of participants with on-therapy AEs leading to discontinuation of investigational product is reported.

The number of participants with on-therapy AEs of special interest is reported.
Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculated Using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) FormulaBaseline and Months 8 and 16Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum creatinine. Serum creatinine values were used to calculate eGFR using the MDRD formula, eGFR=175 x (serum creatinine)\^-1.154 x (Age)\^-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.212 if African American). Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value. Change from Baseline in eGFR using Baseline data from Local or Central Laboratory, and post-Baseline Central Laboratory data for the on-treatment time period is presented.
Change From Baseline in Blood PressureBaseline and Months 8,16,24 and end of study (up to 2.7 years)Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were taken with the participant in a semi-recumbent or seated position after at least a 5-minute rest period. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.
Change From Baseline in Heart RateBaseline and Months 8, 16, 24 and end of study (up to 2.7 years)Heart rate was measured with the participant in a semi-recumbent or seated position after at least a 5-minute rest period. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Treatment Related Impact Measures-Diabetes (TRIM-D) Total Score

The TRIM-D is a 28 item treatment satisfaction measure with 5 domains assessing Treatment Burden, Daily Life, Diabetes Management, Compliance and Psychological Health. The raw score ranges for each subscale were: treatment burden (6 to 30), daily life (5 to 25), diabetes management (5 to 25), compliance (4 to 20) and psychological health (8 to 40), higher scores indicating better health state. Total raw score was determined by summing the raw scores for each of the subscales and the total score (transformed) was determined as \[(raw score minus lowest possible raw score)/possible raw score range\] x100. The possible total (transformed) score range is 0-100, where higher scores indicated better health state. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.

Time frame: Baseline and Months 8 and 16

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with value at Baseline and at the specified visit is presented (represented by n=X in category titles)

Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculated Using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Formula

Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum creatinine. Serum creatinine values were used to calculate eGFR using the MDRD formula, eGFR=175 x (serum creatinine)\^-1.154 x (Age)\^-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.212 if African American). Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value. Change from Baseline in eGFR using Baseline data from Local or Central Laboratory, and post-Baseline Central Laboratory data for the on-treatment time period is presented.
