Outcome Measures

Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Patients Achieving Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Concentration ≤7.0% With Weight Loss (≥1.0 kg) at Endpoint (Week 26) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients achieving HbA1c concentration ≤7.0% with weight loss (≥1.0 kg) at endpoint. The last post-baseline measurement set of both non-missing HbA1c concentration and weight (measured at the same time point, i.e. visit) is used as endpoint value. Patients who do not have a baseline weight measurement, have a protocol violation of baseline HbA1c <=7.0%, and/or have missing post-baseline measurements for HbA1c concentration and/or weight, are included in the analysis as non-responders regarding the primary objective.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Patients Who Have Achieved HbA1c ≤7.4% With Weight Loss (≥1.0 kg) at Endpoint (Week 26) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Percentage of patients who have achieved HbA1c ≤7.4% with weight loss (≥1.0 kg) at endpoint (Week 26)

  2. Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26

  3. Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in body weight from baseline to week 26

  4. Percentage of Patients Achieving HbA1c ≤7.4% at Endpoint [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
    Percentage of patients who have achieved HbA1c ≤.7.4% at endpoint

  5. Percentage of Patients Achieving ≤7.0% at Endpoint [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
    Percentage of patients achieving ≤7.0% at endpoint.

  6. Percentage of Patients Achieving ≤6.5% at Endpoint [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
    Percentage of patients achieving HbA1c ≤6.5% at endpoint

  7. Change in Fasting Serum Glucose From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 26). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in fasting serum glucose from baseline to endpoint (Week 26).

  8. Changes in Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to Week 26

  9. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to Week 26. [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in diastolic blood pressure from baseline to week 26.

  10. Change in Total Cholesterol From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 26). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in total cholesterol from baseline to endpoint (week 26).

  11. Change in High-density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 26). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol from baseline to endpoint (week 26).

  12. Change in Triglycerides From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 26). [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    Change in triglycerides from baseline to endpoint (week 26).

  13. Hypoglycemia Rate Per Year [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
    All confirmed hypoglycemia episodes defined as either minor (any time a patient feels that he or she is experiencing a sign or symptom associated with hypoglycaemia and blood glucose (BG) <3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL)) or major (any hypoglycaemic episode with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia, resulting in loss of consciousness or seizure, and shows prompt recovery in response to administration of glucagon or glucose, or BG measurement < 3.0mmol/L is available and the patient is not capable of self-treating were taken into account.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 to 45 kg/m2, inclusive
  • Are receiving metformin at a stable dose (consistent with country specific requirements) of a minimum of 1000mg for at least 3 months prior to start start OR are receiving metformin at a minimum dose (consistent with country specific requirements) of 1000mg and sulphonylurea (as separate medications not as a fixed dose combination) at stable doses for 3 months prior to study start

Exclusion Criteria:
