Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 24 weeks

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as events that started on or after the study medication start date and time.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Unexpected Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 24 weeks

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An adverse event was considered unexpected if the nature or severity was not consistent with the applicable product reference safety information.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 24 weeks

    ADRs were defined as the treatment related TEAEs. Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. TEAEs were defined as events that started on or after the study medication start date and time.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Weeks 12 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline, Weeks 12 and 24

    Percent change from baseline in HbA1c at Weeks 12 and 24 was reported.
