Effect of Soliqua 100/33 on Time in Range From Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Insulin-naive Patients With Very Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Glucose total CV was calculated by following: standard deviation glucose/mean glucose over 14 days x 100, and the percent change was reported. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of treatment.

A global average was computed to determine the average of the mean daily blood glucose for the 14 days at baseline and Week 16. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of treatment.

The analysis was focused on the 4-hour interval at both baseline and Week 16 from t=0 (the timepoint at which glucose measurement was taken immediately preceding liquid meal administration) throughout the subsequent 4 hours. For each participant, the overall maximum glucose value within the described 4-hour period was determined, and the difference between the maximum glucose value at baseline and Week 16 was reported. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of treatment.

The time spent above the glycemic target range was calculated as 100 times the total number of 15-minute increments of CGM data where a participant's blood glucose falls above normal range (\>180 mg/dL) at baseline, divided by the total number of 15-minute increments read (i.e., up to 1344 15-minute increments) at Week 16. This was calculated for baseline and Week 16 and the change was reported. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of treatment.

Percentage of participants achieving CV \<36% was calculated as sum of the number of participants with CV \<36% divided by the total number of participants. The endpoint was calculated using all CGM glucose readings available throughout each day for 2 weeks (Week 14-16).

Time spent in the glycemic target range (70 to 180 mg/dL) was calculated as 100 times the number of recorded measurements in the glycemic target range (70 to 180 mg/dL inclusive), divided by the total number of recorded measurements per time block and comparing the corresponding time blocks from Week 16 to baseline. The time blocks are 12 am to 6 am, 6 am to 12 pm, 12 pm to 6 pm, 6 pm to 12 am, and 6 am to 12 am. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of treatment.

The GMI was calculated as 3.31 + 0.02392 x (mean glucose in mg/dL from CGM data). The GMI was calculated by determining the number of participants who achieved \<7% and \<9% at Week 16.

Blood samples were collected to measure the glucose values up to 4-hour after the breakfast meal. The analysis was based on a liquid meal at both baseline and Week 16 (a liquid meal administered in a fasted state and blood glucose is measured at specific time points up to 4 hours). Baseline is defined as the time period prior to administration of study drug.

Blood samples were collected at specific intervals over a 4 hour period to measure blood glucose values following ingestion of a liquid meal and the process is repeated after 16 weeks of study drug administration following another liquid meal administration and blood glucose values measured at specific time points over 4 hours. The difference in the time to reach the maximal blood glucose value was then calculated between these two timepoints.

Blood glucose level was determined based upon CGM data. Percentage of participants with glucose level \<54 mg/dL for less than 15 minutes per day are reported.

The changes in diabetes medication treatment-related impact and satisfaction was measured by the DM-SAT. The DM-SAT is a 16-item measure with 4 domains/subscales assessing lifestyle (5 items), medical control (3 items), convenience (5 items) and well being (3 items). Each item is measured on a scale from 0-10, where 0= not at all satisfied, 1 to 3= not too satisfied, 4 to 6 = somewhat satisfied, 7-9= very satisfied and 10= extremely satisfied. The overall score was calculated as the sum of the 16 questions with a score that ranges from 0 to 160. A higher score indicates a positive result. Baseline is defined as the first 14 evaluable days of evaluable CGM data prior to first day of administration.

Hypoglycemia event is defined as any event recorded in hypoglycemic event information library electronic case report form page that has "Yes" as the response to the question "Were any hypoglycemic events experienced". American Diabetes Association (ADA) Level 1 hypoglycemia is defined as measurable glucose concentration \<70 mg/dL \[3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L)\] but \>=54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L). ADA Level 2 hypoglycemia is defined as measurable glucose concentration \<54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) that needed immediate action. ADA Level 3 hypoglycemia is defined as severe event characterized by altered mental and/or physical functioning that required assistance from another person for recovery of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and adverse events of special interest. Participants might have experienced both Level 1 and 2 hypoglycemia events.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, whether or not considered related to the study drug. An SAE is defined as any AE that, at any dose, meets one of the following criteria: results in death or is life-threatening or requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs is defined as AEs that developed, worsened, or became serious during the treatment-emergent period, defined as the time from the first administration of the study drug (Day 1) to the last administration of the study drug + 3 days.
