Primary Outcome Measures:

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
A1C represents the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin.
Change From Baseline in A1C at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 54 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
A1C represents the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change From Baseline in 2-Hour Post-meal Glucose (PMG) at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
PMG was measured using the Meal Tolerance Test (MTT).
Change From Baseline in FPG at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 54 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change From Baseline in 2-Hour PMG at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 54 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
PMG was measured using the Meal Tolerance Test (MTT).
