ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline to Week 26 in Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) (%)From baseline to week 26
Change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26 in percentage (%) point of HbA1c is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period and in-trial observation period. On-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication. In-trial observation period: the time period where participants were considered to be in the trial, regardless of discontinuation of trial product or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 26 in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)From baseline to week 26
Change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) from baseline to week 26 in millimole per liter (mmol/l) is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 26 in Self-measured Plasma Glucose (SMPG) Profile: Mean 7-point ProfileFrom baseline to week 26
Change from baseline in mean 7-point SMPG profile at week 26 is presented. SMPG was recorded at the following 7 time points: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after dinner and at bedtime. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 26 in 7 Point SMPG Profile: Mean Postprandial Increment (Over All Meals)From baseline to week 26
Change from baseline in 7-point SMPG: Mean postprandial increment (over all meals) at week 26 is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved HbA1c <7.0 % (53 mmol/Mol) (American Diabetes Association [ADA] Target) (Yes/no)At week 26
Number of participants who achieved HbA1c \<7.0% (53 mmol/mol) (ADA target) is presented in category "Yes" and participants who could not achieve HbA1C \<7.0 (53 mmol/mol) (ADA target) is presented in category "No". The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved HbA1c Equal to or Below 6.5 Percent (48 mmol/Mol) (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) Target) (Yes/no)At week 26
Number of participants who achieved HbA1c equal to or below 6.5 percent (48 mmol/mol) (AACE target) (yes/no) is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Achieved HbA1c Reduction Equal to or Above 1 Percent-point (10.9 mmol/Mol) (Yes/no)At week 26
Number of participants who achieved HbA1c reduction equal to or above 1 percent-point (10.9 mmol/mol) (yes/no) is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryTime to Rescue MedicationFrom baseline to week 31
Time to rescue medication is presented as the number of participants who had taken rescue medication anytime from baseline to week 31. 'Rescue medication': use of new anti-diabetic medication as add-on to trial product and used for more than 21 days with the initiation at or after randomisation and before last day on trial product, and/or intensification of anti-diabetic medication (a more than 20% increase in dose relative to baseline) for more than 21 days with the intensification at or after randomisation and before last day on trial product. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 26 in Body Weight (Kilogram [kg])From baseline to week 26
Change in body weight from baseline to week 26 in kg is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
SecondaryPercentage Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Body WeightFrom baseline to week 26
Percentage change from baseline to week 26 in body weight is presented. The outcome data was evaluated based on the on-treatment without rescue medication observation period: from date of first dose of trial product following randomization and the end date which was the first date of any of the following: the last dose of trial product plus 3 days or initiation of rescue medication.
