PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 14 weeks

Population: Full analysis set consisted of all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one post-randomization efficacy parameter measurement.

HbA1c was performed on a blood sample obtained and measured by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). HPCL was performed at a central laboratory.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 14 weeks

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) consisted of all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication and had at least one post-randomization efficacy parameter measurement.

Responder rate was analyzed in categories: 1. Endpoint HbA1c ≤ 6.5% 2. Endpoint HbA1c \< 7% 3. Endpoint HbA1c \< 7% in patients with baseline HbA1c ≤ 8% 4. Endpoint HbA1c \< 6.9% 5. HbA1c reduction from baseline at endpoint ≥ 1% 6. HbA1c reduction from baseline at endpoint ≥ 0.5%. Categories 1, 2, and 4 - 'n' includes only patients with baseline HbA1c \> 6.5%, ≥ 7%, ≥ 6.9% and endpoint HbA1c measurement. Category 3, 'n' includes only patients with 7% ≤ baseline HbA1c ≤ 8% and endpoint HbA1c. Category 5 and 6, 'n' indicates number of patients with both baseline and endpoint HbA1c measurements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 14 weeks

Population: Safety set (SAF): consists of all patients who received at least one dose of study medication.

The occurrence of adverse events were sought by non-directive questioning of the patient at each visit. Adverse events are defined as appearance or worsening of any undesirable symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), or medical conditions. Serious adverse events are any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgment of investigators represent significant hazards.
