All MACE positively adjudicated by the clinical endpoint committee (CEC) were used in the analysis of the composite outcome of first occurrence to CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke. Kaplan-Meier curves of the cumulative event rate by treatment groups were used to depict the first occurrence of MACE over time. The event rate per 100 participant-years (calculated by 100*number of participants with events/sum of time at risk (days) over all participants/365.25) measured in terms of number of events per 100 participant-years was reported.

Analysis was performed on intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Data for this outcome measure (OM) was planned to be collected and analyzed for pooled population of participants who received Efpeglenatide (at any dose: 4 mg and 6 mg) as pre-specified in the protocol.

All MACE positively adjudicated by the CEC were used in the analysis of the expanded outcome of first occurrence to CV death (including fatal MI and fatal stroke), non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization or hospitalization for unstable angina. Kaplan-Meier curves of the cumulative event rate by treatment groups were used to depict the first occurrence of MACE over time. The event rate per 100 participant-years (calculated by 100*number of participants with events/sum of time at risk (days) over all participants/365.25) measured in terms of number of events per 100 participant-years was reported. Data analysis was also performed independently by external steering committee for the publication.

Composite renal endpoint included the following: incident macroalbuminuria (defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of greater than (>) 300, as measured in mg of albumin to grams of creatinine, or >33.9, as measured in mg of albumin to millimoles of creatinine), plus an increase in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of at least 30% from baseline, a sustained decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of at least 40% for 30 days or more, renal-replacement therapy for 90 days or more, and a sustained eGFR of less than 15 ml per minute per 1.73 m^2 for 30 days or more. Kaplan-Meier curves of the cumulative event rate by treatment groups were used to depict the first occurrence of renal endpoint over time. The event rate per 100 participant-years (calculated by 100*number of participants with events/sum of time at risk (days) over all participants/365.25) measured in terms of number of events per 100 participant-years was reported.
