What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured primarily to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. Least Squares (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Secondary outcomes (11)
Percentage of Participants With HbA1c of <7.0%
HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. HbA1c is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.
Measured: Week 52
Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose
Fasting serum glucose (FSG) is a test to determine sugar levels in serum sample after an overnight fast. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Average 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Values
The self-monitored plasma glucose (SMBG) data were collected at the following 7 time points: Morning Premeal - Fasting, Morning 2-hour Postmeal, Midday Premeal, Midday 2-hour Postmeal, Evening Premeal, Evening 2-hour Postmeal and Bedtime. LS mean was determined by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model for with Baseline + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment (Type III sum of squares) as variables.
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Body Weight
Change from baseline in body weight. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: Variable = Baseline + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Weight Loss ≥5% From Baseline
Percentage of participants who achieve weight loss ≥5% from baseline.
Measured: Week 52
Change From Baseline in Fasting Insulin
Fasting Insulin is a test used to measure the amount of insulin in the body. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures with log (Actual Measurement) = log (Baseline) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares) as variables.
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Fasting C-Peptide
Fasting C-peptide is a test used to measure the amount of C-peptide in the body. A high level of C-peptide can mean that body is making too much insulin. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: log (Actual Measurement) = log (Baseline) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Homeostasis Model Assessment B (HOMA-2B, Insulin)
HOMA-2B is an estimated steady state beta cell function based on updated HOMA2 model. The HOMA2 model estimates steady state pancreatic beta cell function (%B) as a percentage of a normal reference population using simultaneously measured fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: log(Actual Measurement/Baseline) = log(Baseline) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in HOMA-2S (Insluin)
HOMA2-S is an estimated insulin sensitivity based on updated HOMA2 model. The HOMA2 model is a computer model that estimates insulin sensitivity (%S) as percentages of a normal reference population using simultaneously measured fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin. LS mean was determined by MMRM model for post-baseline measures: log(Actual Measurement) = log(Baseline) + Baseline HbA1c Group (<=8.5%, >8.5%) + Baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + Washout of Antidiabetic Medication + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares).
Measured: Baseline, Week 52
Rate of Hypoglycemia With Glucose < 54 mg/dL or Severe Hypoglycemia
The hypoglycemia events were defined by participant reported events with blood glucose <54mg/dL) (<3.0 mmol/L] or severe hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as an episode with severe cognitive impairment requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. These episodes may be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizure or coma. The rate of postbaseline hypoglycemia was estimated by negative binomial model for post-baseline comparisons between treatment and control group: number of episodes = baseline hypoglycemia incidence + baseline BMI Group (<25 or >=25 kg/m^2) + washout of antidiabetic medication + baseline hemoglobin A1C (%) + treatment, with log (exposure in days/365.25) as an offset variable.
Measured: Baseline through Week 52
Number of Participants With Anti-Tirzepatide Antibodies
Number of participants with anti-tirzepatide antibodies. A participant is treatment emergent (TE) anti-drug antibody (ADA) evaluable if there is at least one non-missing test result for tirzepatide ADA for each of the baseline period and the postbaseline period. All percentages are relative to the total number of TE ADA evaluable participants in each treatment group. A TE ADA evaluable participant is considered to be TE ADA+ if the participant has at least one postbaseline titer that is a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from baseline measurement.
Measured: Baseline through Week 52

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Apr 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (time frame: Baseline, Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03861052, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2022.
