- Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (Pooled Doses) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least square (LS) mean in HbA1c was calculated using a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) based mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) and adjusted by, baseline + insulin Use + metformin Use + treatment + time + treatment*time (Type III sum of squares). Variance-covariance structure = unstructured (for actual value) / unstructured (for change from baseline).
- Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Individual Doses) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. LS mean in HbA1c was calculated using a REML based MMRM and adjusted by, baseline + insulin use + metformin use + treatment + time + treatment*time (Type III sum of squares). Variance-covariance structure = unstructured (for actual value) / unstructured (for change from baseline).
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]Fasting blood glucose is a test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a blood sample after an overnight fast. Least squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis and adjusted by baseline, strata, treatment, time, treatment*time, (Type III sum of squares). Variance-Covariance structure = Unstructured (for actual value) / Unstructured (for change from baseline). Strata refer to: insulin use + metformin use + baseline HbA1c group [ less than (<) 8%, greater than or equal to (>=) 8%).
- Percentage of Participants With HbA1c ≤7.0% [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]The percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants reaching target HbA1c by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100.
- Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]BMI is an estimate of body fat based on body weight divided by height squared. LS mean were calculated using a MMRM analysis and adjusted by baseline, strata, treatment, time, treatment*time, (Type III sum of squares). Variance-Covariance structure = Unstructured (for actual value) / Unstructured (for change from baseline). Strata refer to: insulin use + metformin use + baseline HbA1c group (< 8%, >= 8%).
- Percentage of Participants With Self-Reported Events of Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Summary and analysis of Incidence of all hypoglycemia with Plasma Glucose <54mg/dL.
- Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue for Severe, Persistent Hyperglycemia [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue for Severe, Persistent Hyperglycemia was summarized.
- Number of Participants With Adjudicated Pancreatitis [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]The number of participants with pancreatitis confirmed by adjudication is summarized cumulatively at 26 weeks. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.
- Change From Baseline in Pancreatic Enzymes at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]Serum Amylase (total and pancreas-derived) and lipase concentrations were measured.
- Number of Participants With Thyroid Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Number of Participants with Thyroid Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events were summarized.
- Change From Baseline in Serum Calcitonin at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]Change from Baseline in Serum Calcitonin was evaluated.
- Percentage of Participants With Allergic, Hypersensitivity Reactions [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]The percentage of Participants with Allergic and hypersensitivity reactions that were considered possibly related to study drug by the investigator are presented. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.
- Percentage of Participants With Injection Site Reactions [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]The percentage of participants with at least one treatment-emergent injection site reaction is presented. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.
- Number of Participants With Anti-Dulaglutide Antibodies [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 56 ]Dulaglutide anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were assessed at baseline, Weeks 26 and 56. A participant was considered to have treatment-emergent (TE) dulaglutide ADAs if the participant had at least 1 titer that was TE relative to baseline, defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from baseline measurement.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Concentration of Dulaglutide at Steady-state (Cmax,ss) [ Time Frame: Week 9: pre-dose,1 to 12 hours post dose and 24 to 96 hours post dose; Week 13: predose and 1 to 12 hours post dose; Week 26: predose; Week 39: up to 2 days postdose; Week 52 and Week 56: PK sample can be taken at any time during the visit ]PK: Maximum Concentration of Dulaglutide at steady-state (Cmax,ss) was derived by a population pharmacokinetics approach. As part of addendum, additional PK samples were taken at week 9.
- PK: Area Under the Concentration Time Curve Over a 1-week Interval of Dulaglutide at Steady-State [AUC(0-168)ss] [ Time Frame: Week 9: pre-dose,1 to 12 hours post dose and 24 to 96 hours post dose; Week 13: predose and 1 to 12 hours post dose; Week 26: predose; Week 39: up to 2 days postdose; Week 52 and Week 56: PK sample can be taken at any time during the visit ]PK: Area Under the Concentration Time Curve over a 1-week interval of Dulaglutide at Steady-State [AUC(0-168)ss] was derived by a population pharmacokinetics approach. As part of addendum, additional PK samples were taken at week 9.
