TZP 15 mg was associated with significant decreases in body weight (A) and HbA1c (B) across baseline HbA1c categories in SURMOUNT-2. Data from participants in the modified intent-to-treat population efficacy analysis set with a nonmissing baseline value and ≥1 nonmissing postbaseline value of the response variable are included in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using a mixed-model repeated measure for postbaseline measures including country, sex, baseline value, type of antihyperglycemic medication used, treatment, visit, and treatment by visit, plus baseline age and type 2 diabetes duration for the percent body weight change model only, for each of the baseline HbA1c groups. ANOVA was used for baseline measures. ***P < 0.001 vs. placebo within baseline HbA1c category. LSM, least squares means.
