Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)Baseline, Week 26HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of haemoglobin A. It is measured to identify average blood glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least squares (LS) mean change from baseline was analysed by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, country, Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) (yes/no), Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) (yes/no), baseline body mass index (BMI) \[\<30, \>=30\]), visit, and treatment by visit interaction as fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c as a covariate.

Rate of Documented HypoglycemiaBaseline through Week 26Documented hypoglycemia is defined as any time a participant reports a self-monitoring blood glucose \<54 mg/dL (3.0 millimole per liter (mmol/L)). Rate of documented hypoglycemia per year during defined period is calculated by the number of documented hypoglycemia events within the period divided by the number of days participant at risk within the period\*365.25 days.
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of LY3209590Week 26AUC of LY3209590 was calculated for individual participants using the participants' Week 26 LY3209590 dose amount and estimated clearance value.

Recruitment details

The study was initially designed as 3 arms: LY3209590 Algorithm 1 (Paper), LY3209590 Algorithm 2 (Digital), and Insulin Degludec. However, it was amended to terminate the LY3209590 Algorithm 2 (Digital) arm during early enrollment phase due to technical issues with data entry. Thus, this arm was excluded from the outcome measure analyses, but safety data was analysed and reported.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
LY3209590 Algorithm 1 (Paper)
Algorithm 1 is a paper-based algorithm where dose adjustments were manually determined by the investigator based on fasting glucose and hypoglycemia data. LY3209590 was provided in a 20 mg vial of reconstitutable lyophilized powder. Participants received individualized LY3209590 loading dose based on the baseline median fasting glucose and body weight by SC injection on day 1 followed by weekly adjustments for the first 12 weeks, then every 4 weeks, of a 26-week treatment period, to achieve target fasting glucose of \<=100 mg/dL.
129
Insulin Degludec
Insulin degludec was provided as 100 U/mL in a prefilled pen. Participants received individually adjusted doses once daily by SC injection with a starting dose of 10 units, during the 26-week treatment period, to achieve target fasting blood glucose of \<=100 mg/dL.
135
LY3209590 Algorithm 2 (Digital)
Algorithm 2 is a computer-based algorithm to determine dose adjustments. LY3209590 was provided in a 20 mg vial of reconstitutable lyophilized powder. Participants received individualized LY3209590 loading dose based on the baseline median fasting glucose and body weight by SC injection on day 1 followed by weekly adjustments for the first 12 weeks, then every 4 weeks, of a 26-week treatment period, to achieve target fasting glucose of \<=100 mg/dL.

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of haemoglobin A. It is measured to identify average blood glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least squares (LS) mean change from baseline was analysed by mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model with treatment, country, Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) (yes/no), Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) (yes/no), baseline body mass index (BMI) \[\<30, \>=30\]), visit, and treatment by visit interaction as fixed effects and the baseline HbA1c as a covariate.

Population: All participants randomized to either LY3209590 Algorithm 1 (Paper) or Insulin degludec, received at least one dose of study drug and had baseline, post-baseline HbA1c data prior to treatment discontinuation.

Rate of Documented Hypoglycemia

Documented hypoglycemia is defined as any time a participant reports a self-monitoring blood glucose \<54 mg/dL (3.0 millimole per liter (mmol/L)). Rate of documented hypoglycemia per year during defined period is calculated by the number of documented hypoglycemia events within the period divided by the number of days participant at risk within the period\*365.25 days.
