Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in A1C at Week 32
Baseline and Week 32

A1C is measured as a percent. Thus this change from baseline reflects the Week 32 A1C percent minus the baseline A1C percent

Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) at Week 18
Baseline and Week 18

A1C is measured as percent. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 18 A1C percent minus the Week 0 A1C percent.
