Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in HbA1c at Week 24
Baseline and Week 24

HbA1c is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 24 HbA1c percent minus the Week 0 HbA1c percent. Statistical analysis based on a constrained longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) model with terms for treatment, time, prior use of AHAs, the interactions of treatment by time, time by prior use of AHAs, treatment by time by prior use of AHAs, and baseline eGFR value with the constraint that the mean baseline HbA1c is the same for both treatment groups.

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE)
Up to 26 weeks

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an AE
Up to 24 weeks

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE)
Up to 54 weeks

An AE was any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom, or disease, and a causal relationship to the relevant investigational product is not considered. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, including results from laboratory assessments, physical examination, electrocardiograms, and vital sign assessments. The percentage of participants that had AE was recorded.

Percentage of Participants Who Had Study Drug Discontinued Due to an AE
Up to 52 weeks

The percentage of participants who had study treatment stopped due to an AE regardless if they completed study.
