Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the non-inferiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin.

Secondary Objectives:

* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycemic control.
* To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on body weight.
* To evaluate the safety of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide and once weekly injection of dulaglutide.
