- Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 18 ]
HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline as a covariate, pooled country, treatment, time, treatment*time as fixed effects.
- Percentage of Participants With HbA1c of <7.0% [ Time Frame: Week 18 ]Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 18 ]Fasting serum glucose (FSG) is a test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a serum sample after an overnight fast. Least Squares (LS) means was determined by MMRM methodology with baseline as a covariate, pooled country, baseline HbA1c strata using >=8% as cutoff, treatment, time, treatment*time as fixed effects.
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 18 ]Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with baseline as a covariate, pooled country, baseline HbA1c strata using >=8% as cutoff, treatment, time, treatment*time as fixed effects.
- Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline through Week 18 ]Adverse event (AE) defined as any unfavorable medical event, newly emerged or a deterioration of a preexisting condition, in other words any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a pharmaceutical product, without regard to the possibility of a causal relationship, that occurred after the visit for informed consent and up to the visit for completion of administration, or discontinuation.
- Rate of Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Week 18 ]Hypoglycemic events (HE) were classified as severe, documented symptomatic (defined as an HE with typical symptoms of hypoglycemia and a blood glucose level of ≤3.9 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]). Hypoglycemia rate per 30 days was summarized at each visit by treatment group. The rate of hypoglycemia was analyzed using a generalized estimation equations model with a negative binomial distribution and a Log link. LS mean was determined by MMRM methodology with baseline hypoglycemia rate, pooled country, HbA1c at Baseline, treatment, with log of exposure in days divided by 365.25 as the offset.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): The Maximum Drug Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss) of Dulaglutide [ Time Frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 18, 22 weeks and early termination ]Plasma samples for PK analysis were combined measure obtained from 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 18, 22 weeks and until early termination of the visit. Cmax takes all time points post dose into account and one value was reported.
- Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve at Steady State From Time Zero to 168 Hours (AUC[0-168], ss) of Dulaglutide [ Time Frame: 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 18, 22 weeks and early termination ]AUC[0-168h] is a combined measure obtained from 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 18, 22 weeks and until early termination of the visit.
