Values are presented as mean±standard error.

LS, least square; CI, confidence interval; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate.

aDifference in the LS mean change, which was calculated as add-on therapy minus switch therapy, bP<0.05 from baseline in overall patients and each treatment group, cP<0.05 for the between-treatment group difference.
