E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that once-weekly dulaglutide (1.5 mg and/or 0.75 mg) is superior to placebo as measured by HbA1c at 24 weeks (change from baseline) in patients
with inadequately controlled T2D on concomitant SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Key secondary efficacy objectives (controlled for type 1 error) are to compare dulaglutide 1.5 mg and 0.75 mg to placebo at 24 weeks
Other secondary efficacy objectives are to compare
dulaglutide 1.5 mg and 0.75 mg to placebo at 24 weeks
Secondary safety objectives are to compare dulaglutide
1.5 mg and 0.75 mg to placebo at 24 weeks
