Primary Outcome Measures :
- Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) Levels at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]A1C represents percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin.
- Percentage of Participants With Hypoglycemic Events [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 28 days following the last dose of study therapy ]Percentage of participants with at least one symptomatic hypoglycemic adverse event, excluding data after initiation of glycemic rescue therapy.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 54 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 54 ]
