What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. assess HCPs' knowledge and understanding of the key information included in the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia

    The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint based on the percentages of HCPs with correct responses to all questions included in the composite regarding the below information:

    • Risk of hyperglycemia and its potential risk factors
    • Signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia
    • Recommendations for monitoring for hyperglycemia prior to, and during, treatment with Piqray
    • Recommendations for managing hyperglycemia during treatment with Piqray. Specifically, the primary endpoint was a weighted composite knowledge score aggregated across the following survey questions: 4A, 5A-C, 6, 8A-C, 10, and 12-15. It was calculated as the number of all correctly answered questions divided by the number of all answered questions (i.e. questions that were answered either correct and not correct - unanswered questions are excluded).

    Measured: Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess HCPs' reported levels of receipt, and reading, of the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia

    Assessed as the percentages of HCPs who report receipt and reading of the same (survey questions 1, 2).

    Measured: Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Assess HCPs' knowledge levels for each survey question regarding knowledge of, and management of, hyperglycemia

    Assessed as the percentages of HCPs with correct responses to each question (individual responses to survey questions 4-15).

    Measured: Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. Assess the primary source from which HCPs learned about the messages included in the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia

    Assessed as the percentages of HCPs who report using each of the possible sources as the primary source they used (survey question 3).

    Measured: Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year
