Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Bayesian Dose Response
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26

HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.This was a Bayesian dose response analysis of HbA1c (%) change from baseline. At baseline: Mean (SD = Standard Deviation) of baseline HbA1c (%). After baseline: Posterior Mean (SD = Posterior Standard Deviation) of HbA1c (%) change from baseline.
