Body Weight Effects on Glucophage's Efficacy in Chinese Diagnosed T2DM Patients

Baseline for HbA1c is defined as that value obtained at screening visit. HbA1c was measured as a percent (%) of hemoglobin; normal range was 4.7 to 6.4% and values were obtained through a central laboratory. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) data set includes data recorded at a given visit or, if no observation is recorded at that visit, data carried forward from the previous visit.

Baseline was defined as the value obtained at the screening visit. FPG was measured in millimoles/Liter (mmol/L) and obtained through local laboratories.

For fasting total cholesterol (TC), baseline is defined as Day 1 (first day of treatment). Total cholesterol was measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) and obtained through local laboratories.

Baseline was defined as values obtained on Day 1. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) and obtained through local laboratories.

Baseline was defined as value obtained on Day 1 (first day of treatment). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) and obtained through local laboratories.

Baseline was defined as value obtained on Day 1 (first day of treatment). Triglycerides (TG) were measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L)and values obtained through local laboratories.

Baseline was defined as value obtained on Day 1 (first day of treatment). C-Reactive Protein (CRP) was measured in milligrams/liter (mg/L) and values were obtained through a central laboratory; normal was less than 5.0 mg/L.

Baseline was defined as value obtained on Day 1 (first day of treatment). PAI-1 (activity) was measured in units/milliliter (U/mL)and values obtained through a central laboratory; normal was less than 25.00 U/mL.

Baseline was defined as value obtained on Day 1 (first day of treatment). Adiponectin was measured in milligrams/liter (mg/L) and values obtained through a central laboratory; normal range was 1.20 to 20.00 mg/L.

Day 1 was first day of treatment. Lactic acidosis defined as elevated blood lactate levels (>5 mmol/L), decreased blood pH, electrolyte disturbances with an increased anion gap, and increased lactate/pyruvate ratio. Hypoglycemia (low levels of blood glucose) was reported as an adverse event. Safety population included participants who had enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of glucophage extended release (glucophage XR). If a subject experienced more than one adverse event, the subject was counted once at the highest severity.

Hematology profile = hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count(WBC), lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, platelet count. Baseline: value obtained at screening or last value obtained before treatment. LLN=lower limit of normal; ULN=upper limit of normal; preRX=pretreatment. Hemoglobin (g/dL): >3 g/dL decrease from preRX; hematocrit (%): <0.75*preRX; RBC (*10^6 c/uL): <0.75*preRX; platelet count (*10^9 c/uL): <0.67*LLN or >1.5*ULN, of if preRX<LLN, use 0.5*preRX and <100,000/mm^3; WBC (*10^3 c/uL): <0.75*LLN or >1.25*ULN, or if preRX <LLN, use <0.8*preRX or >ULN, or if preRX>ULN, use >1.2*preRX or <LLN; neutrophils+bands (*10^3 c/uL): if value <1.0*10^3 c/uL; eosinophils (*10^3 c/uL): if value >0.750*10^3 c/uL; basophils (*10^3 c/uL): if value >400/mm^3; monocytes (*10^3 c/uL): if value >2000/mm^3; lymphocytes (*10^3 c/uL): if value <0.750*10^3 c/uL or if value >7.50*10^3 c/uL.

Baseline defined as value obtained either in screening visit or last value obtained before glucophage XR treatment given on Day 1. Serum chemistries evaluating kidney or liver function: blood urea nitrogen(BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (BR), uric acid (UA). Abnormal increase in kidney and liver function tests defined as 1.25 - less than, equal to (<=)2.6 times (x) upper limit of normal (ULN)in ALT, AST, total BR, UA; abnormal increase defined as 1.25 to <= 5.1 x ULN in BUN. Safety population included participants who enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of Glucophage XR.

Urinalysis included pH and specific gravity. Baseline defined as values obtained at screening visit. Clinically significant: outside the reference range (low/high)and judged to be significant by the investigator: Specific gravity 1.003 - 1.035; ph 5 - 8. Safety population included participants who enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of Glucophage XR.

Baseline was defined as ECG obtained at the screening visit. ECG was 12-lead. Heart rate (HR) was measured in beats per minute (beats/min). Safety population included participants who enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of Glucophage XR.

Baseline was defined as the value obtained at screening or value obtained on Day 1 before treatment. Diastolic and systolic blood pressure was measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Safety population included participants who enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of Glucophage XR.

Baseline was defined as ECG obtained at the screening visit. A judgment of clinical significance was at the discretion of the investigator. Safety population included participants who enrolled in the study and took at least 1 dose of Glucophage XR.
