About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Have T2DM controlled with diet and exercise alone or are stable on a single oral antidiabetic medication (metformin or dipeptidyl peptidase [DPP]-IV inhibitors)
- Have a body mass index of 20.0 to 35.0 kilograms per square meter, inclusive
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have known allergies to tirzepatide, glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analogs, or related compounds
- Have had more than 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia, as defined by the American Diabetes Association criteria, within 6 months before entry into the study or has a history of hypoglycemia unawareness or poor recognition of hypoglycemic symptoms
- Have an abnormality in the 12-lead electrocardiogram at screening that, in the opinion of the investigator, increases the risks associated with participating in the study
- Have a history or presence of pancreatitis or gastrointestinal (GI) disorder or any GI disease which impacts gastric emptying or could be aggravated by GLP-1 analogs or DPP-IV inhibitors

Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Arm Label
Tirzepatide
Placebo
Arm Description
Participants received escalating doses of 2.5 milligrams (mg), 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg of tirzepatide administered into the subcutaneous (SC) tissue of the abdominal wall.
Participants received placebo administered into the SC tissue of the abdominal wall.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Event(s) (SAEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug Administration
Safety was assessed from time of consent through end of study (up to 85 days). Data presented are the number of participants who experienced 1 or more SAEs considered by the investigator to be related to study drug. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events section of this record.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Tirzepatide
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax) of Tirzepatide in plasma.
PK: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) of Tirzepatide
Area under the concentration versus time curve from time zero to tau (τ) of Tirzepatide (AUC[0- τ]), where tau is dosing interval of (0-168 hours).
Pharmacodynamics (PD): Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Fasting Plasma Glucose
Change from baseline to 8 weeks in Fasting Plasma Glucose was measured to investigate the PD effect of Tirzepatide after multiple SC doses administered to Japanese patients with T2DM

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purposes of this study are to determine:
The safety of tirzepatide and any side effects that might be associated with it.
How much tirzepatide gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to remove it.
How tirzepatide affects the levels of blood sugar.
This study includes eight weekly doses of tirzepatide or placebo given as subcutaneous (SC) injections just under the skin. The study will last about 16 weeks (total), including screening and follow-up. This study is for research purposes only and is not intended to treat any medical conditions.
