Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)Up to 54 weeksAn AE was any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom, or disease, and a causal relationship to the relevant investigational product is not considered. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, including results from laboratory assessments, physical examination, electrocardiograms, and vital sign assessments. The percentage of participants that had AE was recorded.
Percentage of Participants Who Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AEUp to 52 weeksThe percentage of participants who had study treatment stopped due to an AE regardless if they completed study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in HbA1cBaseline and Week 52Participants had HbA1c levels determined at baseline and at Week 52. HbA1c is reported as a percentage. A negative number reflects a decrease in percentage.
