Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Baseline (week 0), (week 34)

Change from baseline (week 0) to week 34 in HbA1c is presented. The outcome measure was evaluated based on the data from on treatment without rescue medication. On treatment without rescue medication: the time period where all observed data for which participants are considered exposed to randomised treatment and have not initiated any rescue medication.
