Change in Short Form Health Survey Version 2.0 (SF-36v2™, Acute Version) Health Survey: Scores From the 8 Domains and Summaries of the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS)Week 0, week 26SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the participant's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ (acute version) questionnaire measured eight domains of functional health and well-being as well as two component summary scores (physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)). The 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. In the metric of norm-based scores, 50 and 10 corresponds to the mean and standard deviation respectively of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline (week 0) in the domain scores and component summary (PCS and MCS) scores were evaluated at week 26. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period.
Change in DTSQs: Individual Items and Treatment Satisfaction Score (6 of the 8 Items Summed)Week 0, week 26Change from baseline (week 0) in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status version (DTSQs) was evaluated at week 26. The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 6 to 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of treatment satisfaction for DTSQs items 1, 4 -8. For items 2 and 3 a higher score indicates a higher patient perceived experience of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, respectively. Thus, lower scores indicate a perception of blood glucose levels being none of the time unacceptably high (item 2) or low (item 3). The domain score of total treatment satisfaction (total treatment satisfaction score) was computed by adding the six items scores 1, 4-8. The score has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 36. A higher treatment satisfaction score indicates a higher level of treatment satisfaction.
Change in UrinalysisWeek -2, week 26Participants with urinalysis, leukocytes and erythrocytes findings, negative, trace, small, moderate or large at baseline (week \[wk\] 0) and wk 26 are presented. Participants with urinalysis, nitrit findings, negative or positive at baseline (wk 0) and wk 26 are presented. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.
Change in Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (Ratio to Baseline)Week 0, week 26Change from baseline (week 0) in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (mg/mmol) at week 26 is presented as ratio to baseline. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.

Comparison: The analysis was based on a pattern mixture model using multiple imputation to handle missing week 26 data, assuming that data were missing at random within the groups used for imputation. The imputed data sets were analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, strata, and region as categorical fixed effects and baseline HbA1c value as covariate for each of the 1000 imputed complete data sets, and pooled by Rubin's rule to draw inference.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-1, -0.6]Pattern Mixture model
Comparison: The analysis was based on a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) that assumed data to be missing at random. As dependent variables, the MMRM model included all post-baseline values collected at scheduled visits up to and including week 26. The independent effects were treatment, strata, interaction strata and region as categorical fixed effects and the baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit, and an unstructured residual covariance matrix.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-1.2, -0.8]MMRM

Comparison: The analysis was based on a pattern mixture model using multiple imputation to handle missing week 26 data, assuming that data were missing at random within the groups used for imputation. The imputed data sets were analysed using an ANCOVA model with treatment, strata, and region as categorical fixed effects and baseline body weight value as covariate for each of the 1000 imputed complete data sets, and pooled by Rubin's rule to draw inference.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-3.2, -1.8]Pattern Mixture model
Comparison: The analysis was based on a MMRM that assumed data to be missing at random. As dependent variables, the MMRM model included all post-baseline values collected at scheduled visits up to and including week 26. The independent effects were treatment, strata, interaction strata and region as categorical fixed effects and the baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit, and an unstructured residual covariance matrix.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [-3.5, -1.9]MMRM

Change in DTSQs: Individual Items and Treatment Satisfaction Score (6 of the 8 Items Summed)

Change from baseline (week 0) in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status version (DTSQs) was evaluated at week 26. The DTSQs items are scored on a 7-point graded response scale ranging from 6 to 0. Higher scores indicate higher levels of treatment satisfaction for DTSQs items 1, 4 -8. For items 2 and 3 a higher score indicates a higher patient perceived experience of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, respectively. Thus, lower scores indicate a perception of blood glucose levels being none of the time unacceptably high (item 2) or low (item 3). The domain score of total treatment satisfaction (total treatment satisfaction score) was computed by adding the six items scores 1, 4-8. The score has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 36. A higher treatment satisfaction score indicates a higher level of treatment satisfaction.

Change in Short Form Health Survey Version 2.0 (SF-36v2™, Acute Version) Health Survey: Scores From the 8 Domains and Summaries of the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS)

SF-36 is a 36-item patient-reported survey of patient health that measures the participant's overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL). SF-36v2™ (acute version) questionnaire measured eight domains of functional health and well-being as well as two component summary scores (physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS)). The 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better HRQoL) from the SF-36 were converted to norm-based scores to enable a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 U.S. general population. In the metric of norm-based scores, 50 and 10 corresponds to the mean and standard deviation respectively of the 2009 U.S. general population. Change from baseline (week 0) in the domain scores and component summary (PCS and MCS) scores were evaluated at week 26. A positive change score indicates an improvement since baseline. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period.

Time to Additional Anti-diabetic Medication

Presented results are the number of participants who had taken additional anti-diabetic medication anytime during the period, from week 0 to week 26. Additional anti-diabetic medication was defined as any new anti-diabetic medication used for more than 21 days with the initiation at or after randomisation (week 0) and before (planned) end-of-treatment (week 26), and/or intensification of anti-diabetic medication (a more than 20% increase in dose relative to baseline) for more than 21 days with the intensification at or after randomisation and before (planned) end-of-treatment. Results are based on the data from the in-trial observation period, which was the time period from when a participant was randomised until the final scheduled visit, including any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature discontinuation of trial product.

Comparison: Time to initiation of additional anti-diabetic medication was analysed using a Cox proportional hazards model with treatment, strata, interaction strata, and region as categorical fixed effects and baseline HbA1c as covariate. Withdrawal for any reason or lost to follow-up contributed to the analysis as events (initiation of additional anti-diabetic medication). Censoring time was one day before planned end of treatment.p-value: =0.183495% CI: [0.34, 1.23]Regression, Cox

Time to Rescue Medication

Presented results are the number of participants who had taken rescue medication anytime during the period, from week 0 to week 26. Rescue medication was defined as any new anti-diabetic medication used as add-on to trial product and used for more than 21 days with the initiation at or after randomisation (week 0) and before last day on trial product, and/or intensification of anti-diabetic medication (a more than 20% increase in dose relative to baseline) for more than 21 days with the intensification at or after randomisation and before last day on trial product. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period, which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, excluding any period after initiation of rescue medication and/or premature trial product discontinuation.
