Whole liver fat was measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF).

The full analysis set (FAS) included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the liver fat value at Week 16 were analyzed.

A sufficient amount of blood was collected for the analysis of plasma HbA1c.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the HbA1c value at Week 16 were analyzed.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A serious AE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect or that was considered to be an important medical event. An AE was considered TEAE if the event occurred during the on-treatment period. The causality of AEs were assessed by the investigator using clinical judgement. A severe AE was an event that prevents normal everyday activities.

The safety analysis set included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment.

Hypoglycemic AEs were routinely monitored during participation in the study. Hypoglycemic AE was defined as 1 of the following: 1. Asymptomatic hypoglycemia: an event not accompanied by typical symptoms of hypoglycemic AE but a plasma glucose value of <70 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) using glucometer; 2. Documented symptomatic hypoglycemia: an event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemic AEs were accompanied with a glucose value of <70 mg/dL using glucometer and the clinical picture included prompt resolution with food intake, subcutaneous glucagon or intravenous (IV) glucose; 3. Probable symptomatic hypoglycemia: an event during which symptoms of hypoglycemic AEs were not accompanied by a plasma glucose determination but was presumably caused by a plasma glucose concentration of <70 mg/dL, and the clinical picture included prompt resolution with food intake, subcutaneous glucagon, or IV glucose.

The safety analysis set included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment.

Clinical laboratory tests included hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean cell hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, platelet count, white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes); blood chemistry (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, total bicarbonate, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, albumin, total protein); urinalysis (pH, glucose, protein, blood, ketones, nitrites, leukocyte esterase, urobilinogen, urine bilirubin, microscopy). The abnormality criteria were standard sponsor reporting criteria.

The safety analysis set included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants with evaluable laboratory values were analyzed.

Vital signs data meeting the following criteria were reported: sitting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <50 mmHg or >= 20 mmHg increase or >= 20 mmHg decrease, sitting systolic blood pressure (SBP) blood pressure <90 mmHg or >=30 mmHg increase or >=30 mmHg decrease.

The safety analysis set included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants with evaluable vital signs data were analyzed.

ECG data meeting the following criteria were reported: PR interval value >=300 msec, QRS interval percent change >= 50%, QTcF interval value >450 msec and <=480 msec, or change >30 msec and <=60 msec, or change >60 msec.

The safety analysis set included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants with evaluable ECG data were analyzed.

Blood samples were collected to ensure sufficient serum for the analysis of hs-CRP.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the hs-CRP values at each timepoint were analyzed.

A sufficient amount of blood was collected for the analysis of plasma insulin. The unit of insulin is milli-international units per liter (mIU/L).

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the insulin values at each timepoint were analyzed.

A sufficient amount of blood was collected for the analysis of plasma glucose.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the glucose values at each timepoint were analyzed.

HOMA-IR values were derived from fasting plasma insulin and glucose values. Greater reduction from baseline in HOMA-IR scale values shows greater effects on glycemic metabolism.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the HOMA-IR values at each timepoint were analyzed.

ALT was assessed as one of the clinical laboratory chemistry tests.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the ALT values at each timepoint were analyzed.

A sufficient amount of blood was collected for the analysis of plasma HbA1c.

The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to treatment and who took at least 1 dose of treatment. Participants who were in the FAS and had the HbA1c values at each timepoint were analyzed.
