MACE, defined as a composite of CV death, non-fatal MI, and nonfatal stroke. Adjudication of these events by the Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC) was performed in a blinded fashion. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of MACE are presented.

The primary analysis was based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set for adjudicated MACE, and included all randomized participants. As per planned analysis, the results were reported separately and combined for both doses.

The homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) quantifies insulin resistance and beta-cell function. HOMA2-%B is a computer model that uses fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations to estimate steady-state beta cell function (%B) as a percentage of a normal reference population (normal young adults). The normal reference population was set at 100 percent.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) included subset of participants who were not receiving insulin at baseline and had at least one post-baseline HOMA2-%B measurement on-treatment prior to initiation of insulin.

Progression defined as the development of micro-albuminuria (albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) greater than or equal to [>=] 30 milligram per gram (mg/g) and less than or equal to <= 300 mg/g) or macroalbuminuria (ACR of >300 mg/g) in a participant with baseline normoalbuminuria or the development of macro-albuminuria in a participant with baseline microalbuminuria. Percentage of participants with progression of albuminuria at the end-of-treatment were assessed.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were treated, had both baseline and post-baseline ACR measurements, and baseline ACR<=300 mg/g.

A raised proinsulin-to-insulin ratio due to impaired processing of proinsulin is an early marker of beta cell dysfunction. Beta-cell dysfunction was evaluated by calculating the PI/I ratio, which estimates the capacity of beta cells to convert proinsulin to insulin and may represent an acceptable method to indicate the degree of beta-cell secretion.

On-treatment analysis set: all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. 'N' (number of participants analyzed): number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure, had both baseline and any post-baseline PI/I ratio measurements on-treatment prior to initiation of insulin and didn't receive insulin through baseline.

Urinary Albumin/Creatinine Ratio is a potential marker of chronic kidney disease, calculated as a ratio of Urinary Albumin and Urinary Creatinine.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and had both baseline and post-baseline ACR measurements.

Change from baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) was assessed at end of treatment. GFR is a measure of the rate at which blood is filtered by the kidney. Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) is an equation (calculation) used to estimate GFR in participants with impaired renal function based on serum creatinine, age, race, and sex. eGFR milliliters/minute/1.73 meters square (mL/min/1.73 m^2) = 175 * (serum creatinine) ^ 1.154 * (Age) ^-0.203 *(0.742 if female) * (1.21 if Black).

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure who had both baseline and post-baseline eGFR measurements.

Change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) percentage (%) was assessed at end of treatment. Glycated hemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average glucose concentration in the blood.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure who had both baseline and any post-baseline HbA1C measurements.

Change from baseline in the fasting plasma glucose levels at end-of-treatment was assessed.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and had both baseline and post-baseline fasting plasma glucose measurements.

Percent change from baseline in body weight was assessed at the end of treatment.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and who had both baseline and post-baseline body weight.

Change from baseline in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was assessed.

On-treatment analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure who and had both baseline and post-baseline blood pressure measurements.

Change from baseline in triglycerides levels was assessed.

On-treatment set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and who had both baseline and post-baseline lipid measurements.

Change from baseline in cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were assessed.

On-treatment set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and who had both baseline and post-baseline lipid measurements.

Change from baseline in LDL-C to HDL-C ratio was assessed.

On-treatment set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure and who had both baseline and post-baseline lipid measurements.
