| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
| To demonstrate that once weekly higher dose dulaglutide is superior to dulaglutide 1.5mg once weekly as measured by change from baseline in HbA1c in patients with inadequately controlled T2D on concomitant metformin therapy. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Efficacy:
To demonstrate that once weekly higher dose dulaglutide is superior to dulaglutide 1.5mg once weekly for secondary efficacy parameters
Safety:
To compare selected safety parameters |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
