Data are mean (SD) unless otherwise stated. Changes from baseline are absolute changes using descriptive statistics based on the FAS. All postbaseline body weight measurements obtained at planned visits before discontinuation from randomized treatment were analyzed using a linear mixed normal model using an unstructured residual covariance matrix for body weight measurements within the same participant. The model included subgroup, treatment, visit, and region as fixed factors and baseline body weight as covariate. The interactions between subgroup*treatment*visit, region*visit, and baseline HbA1c*visit were included in the model.
