- Change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 36 ]HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. The Least Squares (LS) mean was estimated from a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the independent variables:Baseline + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
- Change in Body Weight From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 36 ]Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with independent variables: Baseline + Baseline HbA1c group + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Target <7.0% [ Time Frame: Week 36 ]Percentage of participants achieving HbA1c target <7.0%.
- Change in Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG) From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 36 ]Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model with covariates: Baseline + Baseline HbA1c group + Pooled Country + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
- Rate of Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemic Episodes [ Time Frame: Week 36 ]Hypoglycemia was defined as blood glucose < 54 mg/dL, excluding post-rescue records. Estimate is based on Group Mean from negative binomial model. The negative binomial model for post-baseline comparisons between treatments and control group: Number of episodes = Pooled Country + HbA1c at Baseline (%) + Treatment, with log (exposure in days/365.25) as an offset variable.
- Pharmacokinetic (PK): Steady-state Maximum Concentration(Cmax,ss) [ Time Frame: Week 4, Week 12, Week 36, Week 52 ]Pharmacokinetic (PK): Steady-state Maximum Concentration(Cmax,ss).
- Pharmacokinetic (PK): Area Under the Curve AUC (0-168)ss at Steady State [ Time Frame: Week 4, Week 12, Week 36, Week 52 ]Pharmacokinetic (PK): Area Under the Curve AUC (0-168)ss at Steady State.
