Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    Time frame · Baseline, 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least-squares (LS) mean and standard error (SE) changes from baseline in HbA1c at 28 weeks were measured using mixed model regression and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) with treatment, pooled country, visit, and treatment-by -visit interaction as fixed effects, baseline as covariate, and participant as a random effect.

Secondary outcomes(15)
  1. Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG)

    Time frame · Baseline, 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    FSG is a test to determine glucose levels after an overnight fast. LS means FSG change from baseline to primary endpoint at week 28 was calculated using a mixed effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis adjusted by treatment, country, metformin use, week, treatment-by-week interaction, and baseline FSG as covariate.

  2. Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in 7-Point Self Monitored Plasma Glucose (SMPG)

    Time frame · Baseline, 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    The LS means of the 7-point SMPG change from baseline to primary endpoint at week 28 was measured using a MMRM analysis adjusted by treatment, country, metformin use, week, treatment-by-week interaction, and baseline SMPG as covariate.

  3. Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in Body Weight

    Time frame · Baseline, 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    LS means of the body weight change from baseline to primary endpoint at week 28 was adjusted by treatment, country, metformin use, week, treatment-by-week interaction, and baseline body weight as covariate, via a MMRM analysis.

  4. Change From Baseline to 28 Weeks in Daily Mean Insulin Glargine Dose

    Time frame · Baseline, 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Least Square (LS) Means of the insulin dose change from baseline to primary endpoint at week 28 was adjusted by treatment, country, metformin use, week, treatment-by-week interaction, and baseline insulin dose as covariate, via a MMRM analysis.

  5. Number of Participants With Investigator Reported and Adjudicated Cardiovascular Events

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Cardiovascular (CV) adverse events (AEs) were adjudicated by an independent committee of physicians with cardiology expertise external to the sponsor. Deaths occurring during the study treatment period and nonfatal CV AEs were to be adjudicated. Nonfatal CV events that were to be adjudicated were myocardial infarction; hospitalization for unstable angina; hospitalization for heart failure; coronary interventions (such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); and cerebrovascular events, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA/stroke), and transient ischemic attack (TIA).

  6. Percentage of Participants With Self-Reported Events of Hypoglycemia

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Hypoglycemic events (HE) were classified as severe (defined as episodes requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer resuscitative actions), documented symptomatic (defined as any time a participant feels that he/she is experiencing symptoms and/or signs associated with hypoglycemia, and has a plasma glucose level of =\<3.9 mmol/L), asymptomatic (defined as events not accompanied by typical symptoms of hypoglycemia but with a measured plasma glucose of =\<3.9 mmol/L), nocturnal (defined as any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking), or probable symptomatic (defined as events during which symptoms of hypoglycemia were not accompanied by a plasma glucose determination). The percentage of participants with self-reported hypoglycemic events is presented.

  7. Percentage of Participants Discontinuing the Study Due to Severe, Persistent Hyperglycemia

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

  8. Number of Participants With Adjudicated Acute Pancreatitis Events

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    The number of cases of acute pancreatitis confirmed by adjudication. A summary of serious and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

  9. Number of Participants With Thyroid Tumors/Neoplasms (Including C-Cell Hyperplasia)

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

  10. Number of Participants With Dulaglutide Anti-Drug Antibodies

    Time frame · Baseline, Week 12 and Week 28

    Registry description

    Dulaglutide anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were assessed at baseline, Weeks 12 and 28. A participant was considered to have treatment-emergent (TE) dulaglutide ADAs if the participant had at least 1 titer that was TE relative to baseline, defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from baseline measurement.

  11. Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Targets of <7.0% or ≤6.5%

    Time frame · 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants who achieved HbA1c levels of \<7% or ≤6.5% were analyzed using a logistic regression model, controlling for treatment, pre-treatment, baseline HbA1c and country.

  12. Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Target of <7.0% and Without Weight Gain (<0.1 Kilograms [kg]) at 28 Weeks and Without Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia During the Maintenance Period (Weeks 12-28)

    Time frame · 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants who achieved a target HbA1c target of \<7%, without weight gain and without documented symptomatic hypoglycemia at 28 weeks were analyzed using regression model, controlling for treatment, pre-treatment, baseline HbA1c and country.

  13. Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Target of <7.0% at 28 Weeks and Without Documented Symptomatic Hypoglycemia During the Maintenance Period (Weeks 12-28)

    Time frame · 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    Percentage of participants achieving target HbA1c of \<7.0% at 28 weeks without documented symptomatic hypoglycemia are presented. Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia is defined as any time a participant experienced symptoms and or signs associated with hypoglycemia and had a plasma glucose of \<=70 mg/dL.

  14. Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Target of <7.0% and Without Weight Gain (<0.1 kg)

    Time frame · 28 Weeks

  15. Rate of Hypoglycemic Events up to 28 Weeks

    Time frame · Baseline through 28 Weeks

    Registry description

    The rate of total hypoglycemic events any type per 30 days is presented. The hypoglycemia rate per 30 days during defined period is calculated by the number of hypoglycemia events within the period/number of days participant at risk within the period\*30 days.
