  • Experimental
    Dulaglutide

    * Participants received once-weekly (QW) subcutaneous (SC) dulaglutide injections for 24 weeks, starting with either 1.5 milligrams (mg) as combination therapy or 0.75 mg as combination therapy or monotherapy (at the discretion of the investigator). * For participants reporting gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs) after starting the 1.5 mg dulaglutide dose, the investigator reduced the dose to 0.75 mg for 2 to 3 weeks. Thereafter, the 1.5 mg dose was reintroduced.

    Drug: Dulaglutide

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events (AEs) - Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Deaths

    * An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who was administered an investigational product that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. A TEAE was defined as an AE that occurred post-dose or was present prior to dosing and became more severe post-dose. * An SAE was any AE from the study that resulted in one of the following: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, a life-threatening experience (i.e., immediate risk of dying), persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or important medical events that might not have been immediately life-threatening or resulted in death or hospitalization but might have jeopardized the participant or required intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. * A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the reported Adverse Events section of this record.

    Time frame: Baseline through Follow-up (up to 28 weeks)

  2. Number of Participants With One or More Hypoglycemic Events, Including Severe Hypoglycemic Events.

    Hypoglycemia events were defined as those with blood glucose (BG) levels less than (\<) 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Severe hypoglycemia events were defined as those with severe cognitive impairment requiring the assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrates, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. These events could be associated with sufficient neuroglycopenia to induce seizures or coma. The total number of participants who experienced hypoglycemia events, including severe hypoglycemia, was summarized cumulatively.

    Time frame: Baseline through Follow-up (up to 28 weeks)

  3. Percentage of Participants Reporting AEs and SAEs From Baseline to Week 24

    The percentage of participants who reported AEs and SAEs was calculated by dividing the total number of affected participants by the number of participants analyzed, then multiplying by 100. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the reported Adverse Events section of this record.

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 24

  4. Number of Participants With One or More Gastrointestinal (GI) AEs From Baseline to Week 24

    The number of participants who experienced at least one or more GI AEs of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea were summarized cumulatively. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the reported Adverse Events section of this record.

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Change in HbA1c From Baseline to Week 24

    HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. It is measured to identify average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time. The mean change in HbA1c levels was calculated using descriptive analysis, with baseline HbA1c as a covariate. Missing endpoints were addressed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 24

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Dec 2022 to primary completion in Jan 2024, 12 months.

Results were first posted in Feb 2025, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 129 industry-sponsored phase 4 interventional studies under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 28. This study's 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 440 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 40.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 20, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
