  1. AEs with a causality assessment designated as ‘yes’ were considered to be ADRs. Patients were counted only once within an SOC and PT; if a patient reported multiple AEs within an SOC or PT, the most serious AE (for severity assessment) and the most frequent AE related to study drug (for assessment of relationship with study drug) were included. AEs are coded using MedDRA, version 23.1
  2. ADR adverse drug reaction, AE adverse event, MedDRA Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, PT preferred term, SAE serious adverse event, SOC system organ class, T2DM type 2 diabetes mellitus
  3. aInadequate control of T2DM was evaluated against personalised treatment targets for individual patients
