- Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]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 HbA1c at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
- Percent Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Blood Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]Least square means (LSM) was calculated from mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) analysis using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) with metformin use, baseline body mass index (BMI) category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline fasting blood glucose as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in 7-point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week (Wk) 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]SMBG 7-point profiles were measured at morning pre-meal, morning 2 hours post-meal, mid-day pre-meal, mid-day 2 hours post-meal, evening pre-meal, evening 2 hours post-meal, and at bedtime. LSM were calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline fasting blood glucose as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in Lipids [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]Change from baseline in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). LSM was calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant an a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in Fasting Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]LSM was calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Percentage of Participants Requiring Rescue Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline through Therapy Completion (Week 24) ]Participants who received rescue medication with non-study antihyperglycemic medications or change their stable dose of metformin.
- Percentage of Participants Developing Anti-Drug Antibodies to LY2944876 [ Time Frame: Week 12 and Week 24 ]Percentage of participants developing anti-drug antibodies to LY2944876.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of LY2944876 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 24 ]Evaluable pharmacokinetic concentrations from the specified timepoints were combined and utilized in a population approach to determine the population mean estimate and standard deviation at steady-state.
- Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) of LY2944876 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 24 ]Evaluable pharmacokinetic concentrations from the specified timepoints were combined and utilized in a population approach to determine the population mean estimate and standard deviation at steady-state.
- Change From Baseline in Adiponectin Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]LSM are calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in Beta-Hydroxy Butyrate Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]LSM are calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in Glucagon Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]LSM are calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
- Change From Baseline in Insulin Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12; Baseline, Week 24 ]LSM are calculated from MMRM analysis using REML with metformin use, baseline BMI category, baseline HbA1c category, country, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline parameter result as a covariate, and participant as a random effect.
