Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Model-adjusted Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24
Baseline and Week 24

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3 month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last nonmissing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline. Based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): Change at Week 24 = treatment (placebo, albiglutide 30 mg, albiglutide 50 mg) + Baseline HbA1c + prior diabetes therapy + age category (\<65 years versus ≥65 years). Participants who discontinued from study treatment before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline HbA1c carried forward for the analysis unless the value is past 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The open-label liraglutide group was a reference group and not included in the primary endpoint analysis model. Descriptive summary statistics are provided as a separate outcome measure.

Baseline and Week 24

HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3 month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last nonmissing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline. Participants who discontinued from study treatment before Week 24 had their last post-Baseline HbA1c value carried forward for the summary, unless the value was past 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The open-label liraglutide group was a reference group; descriptive statistics comparing albiglutide and liraglutide were exploratory endpoints.

Mean Change From Baseline in Time Normalized Stimulated (From Mixed Meal Tolerance Test [MMTT]) 2-hour Plasma C-peptide Area Under the Curve (AUC) at Week 52
Baseline and Week 52

Participants (parts) had a balanced diet consistent with dietitian's advice and made no major changes in exercise regimens. Evening before the MMTT, participants had a full meal then fasted from 9 post meridiem (pm) until MMTT was completed. Water, black coffee or tea without sugar or artificial sweeteners was allowed. Plasma glucose was measured prior to the finger-stick test and MMTT was performed only if in range \> 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) \[70 mg/deciliter (dL)\] and \<= 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL). Baseline was defined as the last non-missing value with assessment date on or before the 1st day of study medication. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from Week 52 value. Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population comprised of all randomly assigned participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication with at least 1 post-Baseline assessment of the primary endpoint.

Albiglutide 30 mg weeklyEXPERIMENTALSubjects will be randomly assigned to double blind albiglutide 30 mg weekly treatment for 52 weeks
Albiglutide 50 mg weeklyEXPERIMENTALSubjects will be randomly assigned to double blind albiglutide 50 mg weekly until Week 52
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORSubjects will be randomly assigned to double blind matching albiglutide placebo administered weekly. Subjects will then cross-over to double-blind treatment with albiglutide 30 mg weekly at Week 24 until Week 52
Liraglutide 0.9 mg dailyACTIVE_COMPARATORSubjects will be randomly assigned to open-label liraglutide for 52 weeks
AlbiglutideEXPERIMENTALApproximately 51 subjects will be assigned to albiglutide 30 mg weekly (with treatment-masked increase to 50 mg weekly at Week 6) + background insulin. The starting dose of albiglutide will be 30 mg once weekly and will be increased at Week 6 to 50 mg, once weekly, if the 30-mg weekly dose is tolerated.
