Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change in HbA1c
From Baseline to Week 24

Change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to Week 24

Change from baseline in HbA1c
Baseline, 26 weeks
Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 24
Baseline, Week 24

Change in HbA1C was calculated by subtracting baseline value from Week 24 value. Missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF). On-treatment period for this efficacy variable was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug up to 14 days after the last dose of study drug. Here, number of participants analyzed = participants with baseline and at least one post-baseline HbA1c assessment during on-treatment period.

Absolute Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 24
Baseline, Week 24

Absolute change = HbA1c value at Week 24 minus HbA1c value at baseline. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 3 days after the last dose of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest. For a patient to be included in mITT population, both baseline and at least 1 post baseline on-treatment assessment for at least 1 efficacy variable, were required.

Percentage of Patients With Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Level Less Than 7% and at Least 5% Weight Loss From Baseline at Week 24
Week 24

Percentage of patients who met both criteria (HbA1c \<7% at Week 24 and at least 5% weight loss from baseline at Week 24) is reported. The on-treatment period for this efficacy variable is the time from the first dose of study drug up to 3 days after the last dose of study drug or up to the introduction of rescue therapy, whichever is the earliest.

Change From Baseline to Day 56 in Plasma Glucose Corrected Area Under The Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time 0.5 Hours to 4.5 Hours
0.5 (prior to standardized breakfast), 0.67, 0.84, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 hours on Day -3 (baseline); 0.5 (prior to standardized breakfast), 0.67, 0.84, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 hours post study drug administration on Day 56

Plasma glucose was assessed using the Gluco-quant Glucose/hexokinase assay. The range of the method was 3 to 1000 milligram per decilitre (mg/dL) with 1 mg/dL as limit of detection (LOD). Calculation of the AUC was made on Day -3 (baseline) and on Day 56 using the linear trapezoidal rule from time of breakfast start (30 minutes after study drug administration \[time: 0.5 hours\]) to 4 hours after breakfast start (time: 4.5 hours) and corrected by subtracting pre-breakfast plasma glucose concentration (time: 0.5 hours).

Change From Baseline in Area Under the Plasma Glucose Concentration Curve From Time 0.5 Hours to 4.5 Hours (GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h) at Day 28
0.5 (8:00 clock time; prior to standardized breakfast), 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 hours on Day -1 (baseline), 0.5 (prior to standardized breakfast), 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 hours post study drug administration on Day 28

The area under the plasma glucose concentration time curve (GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h) was calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule from time of breakfast start (30 minutes after study drug administration \[time: 0.5 hours\] on Day 28) to 4 hours after breakfast start (time: 4.5 hours) and corrected by subtracting pre-breakfast plasma glucose concentration (time: 0.5 hours). GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h on Day -1 was the baseline. Change in GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h = GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h on Day 28 minus GLU-AUC0:30-4:30h on Day -1.

Number of patients with adverse events (AEs)
Up to 10 weeks
Number of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Up to 10 weeks
Number of patients with anti-lixisenatide antibodies
Up to 10 weeks
