Placebo Control

Participants receiving once weekly tirzepatide treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Baseline characteristics and change from baseline to week 40/42 for efficacy parameters were described and analyzed in treatment-adherent participants (≥75% doses administered and on treatment at week 40/42) receiving once weekly tirzepatide (5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg) (N = 3,188).

Participants receiving placebo treatment.

The primary efficacy measure of HbA1c reduction from baseline was superiority of tirzepatide compared with placebo or noninferiority of tirzepatide compared with active comparators.
