1. Synopsis
Title of Study:  
Protocol H9X-MC-B021:  Crossover Study Comparing the Dulaglutide (Trulicity) Pen and the 
Semaglutide (Ozempic) Pen
Rationale: 
Positive perceptions of injection devices could lead to better treatment adherence, which has 
been shown to have an impact on treatment outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM) (Khunti et al. 2017, 2018).  Therefore, it may be useful for clinicians to consider not 
only the efficacy, safety, and cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor 
agonists (RA) but also patient preferences of injection devices when selecting the most 
appropriate treatment for patients with T2DM.  The primary purpose of this study is to determine 
patient preferences between the injection devices used for the GLP-1 RAs dulaglutide versus 
semaglutide.  The dulaglutide single-dose pen is a single-dose autoinjector pen that does not 
require handling of the needle, which is hidden and automatically retracts after use (Eli Lilly IFU 
2017).  The semaglutide single-patient-use pen can be used more than once and does require 
handling of the needle (Novo Nordisk IFU 2017).  
This study will also evaluate the time-to-train (TTT) on using both the dulaglutide and 
semaglutide devices.  One recent study conducted in Japan found that the dulaglutide pen was 
associated with a significantly shorter mean TTT compared to the insulin degludec 
single-patient-use pen (7.4 minutes versus 19.7 minutes; p<.001) (Asakura et al. 2018).  The 
FlexTouch pen used for the insulin degludec (Asakura et al. 2018) is functionally similar to the 
one being evaluated in this study with semaglutide.  These results suggest that it is less 
burdensome for health care providers to train patients to correctly use the dulaglutide device
compared to other devices and easier for patients to learn self-injection with this device.  The 
study will examine whether differences in patient preferences and TTT follow the same pattern 
in this comparison crossover trial between the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices in a US 
sample.  
Summary of Study Design:  
Study H9X-MC-B021 is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, crossover study assessing 
patient preference (and training time) with the dulaglutide single-dose pen versus the 
semaglutide single-patient-use pen.  Study H9X-MC-B021 consists of a single study visit for 
approximately 290 self-injection naïve adults to all injectable treatment diagnosed with T2DM
and taking oral medication to treat their condition.  Self-injection naïve patients will be recruited 
from approximately 14 clinical sites in the US.  The TTT assessment will be conducted in a 
subset of 75 to 80 patients from approximately 5 of the selected US clinical sites.  All 
participants will receive training and perform mock injections on a practice pad using both 
devices.  However, the order in which the participants are exposed to the devices will be 
randomized.  Fifty percent (50%) of patients will be randomized to use the dulaglutide device 
first, while the other half will use the semaglutide device first.  Participants will be under the 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol

LY2189265
direct supervision of a study interviewer when handling the injection devices.  Participants will 
also complete a series of questionnaires to determine their device preference.  
Prior to commencing the study, a pilot phase will be conducted with approximately 10 to 20
patients with T2DM.  The purpose of the pilot phase is to create a clear and streamlined training 
procedure for each device in order to finalize the steps of the training approach to use in the main
phase of the study.  The pilot phase data will not be included in the final sample of 
approximately 290 patients with T2DM for the analyses.  
Treatment Arms and Duration:
Patients will be randomized into 2 study arms to control for order effects based on device 
administration.  Fifty percent of patients will be randomized to use the dulaglutide device first, 
while the other half will use the semaglutide device first.  All patients will be exposed to both 
devices under investigation in this study in a 1-time interview.  
Number of Patients:
Participating patients will be randomized to ensure that there are approximately 290 completers 
for the main phase of this study.  Prior to the main phase, approximately 10 to 20 patients will be 
included in the pilot phase of this study. All patients with T2DM included in the study must be 
self-injection naïve to all injectable treatment, in efforts to minimize potential bias based on any 
previous experience.  Glucagon-like peptide-1 RAs are often the first injectable medication 
prescribed to patients with T2DM, thus the reason for targeting self-injection naïve participants.  
Statistical Analyses:  Refer to the third column below in Table 1.1.

Objectives/Endpoints/Statistical Analyses
Objectives
Endpoints
Statistical Analyses
Primary:
Determine patient 
preference between the 2 
injection devices
The Global Preference 
Item:  “Overall, which 
device do you prefer?”
The Prescott test will be run to examine whether there 
is a statistically significant difference in preference 
between the devices, while controlling for order 
effects (significance level at p<.05).
Gated Secondary:
Compare devices with 
regard to ease of use (To 
be tested if a significant 
difference is found in the 
primary objective.)
Item 9 of the Diabetes 
Injection Device –
Preference Questionnaire 
(DID-PQ)
If the primary objective is statistically significant, 
responses to the 5-point response scale of DID-PQ 
Item 9 (ease of use) will be collapsed into 3 
categories.  The “strongly prefer” and “prefer” 
response options will be combined for each device, 
resulting in 3 categories:  prefer dulaglutide, prefer 
semaglutide, and no preference.  The Prescott test will 
be run to examine whether there is a statistically 
significant difference in preference for ease of use 
between the devices, while controlling for order 
effects (significance level at p<.05).
Exploratory 1:
Collect data to support the 
preference question in the 
primary objective
Results from the DID-
PQ Items 1 to 8 and 10
Exploratory analyses of Items 1 to 8 and 10 of the 
DID-PQ will follow the same procedures as those for 
the gated secondary objective described above.

Carryover effects will be examined.  If there are no 
significant carryover effects, then TTT for both the 
first and second trainings will be used in this analysis.  
If there is a significant carryover effect, then this 
analysis will use data for whichever device is trained 
first. The average duration required to train and 
successfully inject each device will be assessed using 
the linear model appropriate for a crossover design.  
Exploratory 3:
Examine patients’ 
willingness to use each of 
the devices after being 
trained on both
Results from the 3 
Supplemental Questions
Using the data from the 3 Supplemental Questions, 
descriptive analyses will be run to examine 
willingness to use each of the devices after being 
trained on both.
Exploratory 4:
Validation of the DID-PQ 
Questionnaire validation 
analyses (i.e., known-
groups and construct 
validity)
The primary validation approach will be to examine 
known-groups validity by comparing DID-PQ 
responses of patients categorized based on the 
responses to the Global Preference Item. 
Construct validity will be assessed by comparing 
DID-PQ responses to responses on 4 items selected 
from the Medication Delivery Device Assessment 
Battery (Yu et al. 2017).  Cross-tabulation tables of 
these 4 items by response options for each of the 
DID-PQ items will be presented. 
In addition, the DID-PQ exploratory approach for 
comparing devices will be examined relative to the 
ancillary measures.

3. Introduction
3.1.
Study Rationale
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) are often recommended as part of 
combination therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) when oral medication alone does not 
provide sufficient glycemic control (Inzucchi et al. 2012; NICE 2014).  These injectable 
treatments have been shown to be effective in lowering glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with 
a low risk of hypoglycemia and a potential benefit of weight loss (Aroda et al. 2012; Trujillo et 
al. 2015; Htike et al. 2017).
Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 RA that was approved by the FDA and EMA in 2014 (Edwards and 
Minze 2015).  The safety and efficacy for HbA1c control were demonstrated in several clinical 
trials involving over 5000 patients (Dungan et al. 2014; Nauck et al. 2014; Umpierrez et al. 
2014; Wysham et al. 2014; Blonde et al. 2015; Giorgino et al. 2015; Dungan et al. 2016; Ludvik 
et al. 2018; Pozzilli et al. 2017; Tuttle et al. 2018).  The dulaglutide device is a single-dose 
autoinjector pen that does not require handling of the needle, which is hidden and automatically 
retracts after use (Eli Lilly IFU 2017).  The dulaglutide device is notably different from devices 
used with the other medications in this class.  In this study, the dulaglutide device will be 
compared to the semaglutide device, which is a newer weekly GLP-1 RA, administered via a 
single-patient-use pen.  The semaglutide device can be used more than once and does require 
handling of the needle (Novo Nordisk IFU 2017).  
Positive perceptions of injection devices could lead to better treatment adherence, which has 
been shown to have an impact on treatment outcomes in patients with T2DM (Khunti et al. 2017, 
2018). Therefore, it may be useful for clinicians to consider not only the efficacy, safety, and 
cardiovascular effects of GLP-1 RAs but also patient preferences of injection devices when
selecting the most appropriate treatment for patients with T2DM.  The primary purpose of this 
study is to determine patient preferences between the injection devices used for the GLP-1 RAs 
dulaglutide versus semaglutide.  This study will also evaluate the time-to-train (TTT) on using 
both the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices.  One recent study conducted in Japan found that 
the dulaglutide device was associated with a significantly shorter mean TTT than the 
single-patient use-pen used for insulin degludec (7.4 minutes versus 19.7 minutes; p<.001) 
(Asakura et al. 2018).  The FlexTouch pen used for the insulin degludec (Asakura et al. 2018) is 
functionally similar to the one being evaluated in this study with semaglutide.  These findings 
and other results suggest that it may be less burdensome for health care providers (HCPs) to train 
patients to correctly use the dulaglutide device compared to other devices and easier for patients 
to learn self-injection with this device.  The study will examine whether differences in patient 
preferences and TTT follow the same pattern in this comparison crossover trial between the 
dulaglutide and semaglutide devices in a US sample of patients with T2DM.  All patients with 
T2DM included in the study must be self-injection naïve to all injectable treatment, in efforts to 
minimize potential bias based on any previous experience.  GLP-1 RAs are often the first 
injectable medication prescribed to patients with T2DM, thus the reason for targeting 
self-injection naïve participants.

Please note: The protocol language will use the generic names of the medication in the 
devices (i.e., semaglutide and dulaglutide). However, to provide a naturalistic experience that 
most closely mirrors real-world treatment process, the study participants will be trained to use 
the branded injection devices that are used by patients who are actually treated with these 
medications. These pens feature the brand names (i.e., Ozempic and Trulicity) more 
prominently than the generic names. Therefore, to minimize confusion and ensure that study 
materials are clear for the respondents, the patient-completed questionnaires will use the 
brand names that are clearly presented on each pen. These names will always be presented in 
alphabetical order (i.e., Ozempic followed by Trulicity). Importantly, the use of the branded 
devices is not intended to be promotional in nature.
Appendix 1 contains the protocol abbreviations and definitions.

Background
Several previous studies have found that patients seem to prefer the dulaglutide single-dose pen 
over the devices used to inject other medications in the GLP-1 RA class.  For example, 2 discrete 
choice experiments (1 in the UK and the other in Japan) found that patients preferred the type of 
delivery system used for dulaglutide over the delivery system used for liraglutide 
(Gelhorn et al. 2015, 2016).  Similarly, health state utility studies conducted in the UK and Italy 
found that patients preferred the dulaglutide pen attributes over the attributes of devices used 
with comparator treatments (Matza et al. 2017a; Matza et al. 2018b).
Research on perceptions of these injection devices has also been conducted among patients who 
have personal experience with the devices.  For example, a recent naturalistic study conducted in 
over 400 patients with T2DM in the US found that the dulaglutide pen was associated with 
perceptions of greater ease-of-use and convenience than the liraglutide device (Matza et al. 
2018a).  Furthermore, the subset of 58 patients who had tried both treatments preferred the 
dulaglutide pen over the liraglutide device, as indicated across all 10 items of the Diabetes 
Injection Device – Preference Questionnaire (DID-PQ), which was designed to assess 
preferences between non-insulin injection devices.  The dulaglutide device was also preferred 
over the single-patient-use pen device (used with insulin degludec) in a recent crossover study 
conducted among self-injection naïve patients with T2DM in Japan (Asakura et al. 2018).  In 
addition, the dulaglutide pen was associated with greater ease-of-use and less time required for 
training.  The dulaglutide device was also found to be a safe and effective device for use by 
injection-naïve patients with T2DM in a 4-week Phase 3b usability trial (Matfin et al. 2015).
3.2.1. Dulaglutide Pen
The dulaglutide single-dose pen (Figure 3.1) is a single-use autoinjector designed for a 
once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) injection of dulaglutide in either a 0.75 mg or 1.5 mg dose for 
adult patients with T2DM (Eli Lilly IFU 2017).  Dulaglutide may be self-administered or 
administered by patients’ caregivers or HCPs.
The dulaglutide pen is designed to deliver a SC injection without the need for management of the 
injection site such as needle insertion into a skin fold.  The needle in the dulaglutide pen is 29

LY2189265
gauge.  The dulaglutide pen is approximately 16 cm in length and is constructed of polymer 
molded components, metal springs, and the pen label.
Figure 3.1.
Dulaglutide pen external view.
The pen is prepared for use by removing the base cap (which also removes a rigid needle shield 
from the syringe), placing it at the injection site, and rotating the lock ring to unlock.  The pen is 
then used by depressing the Injection Button (green button in Figure 3.1).  This action releases a 
spring-enabled plunger rod that inserts the needle to a predetermined depth and then delivers the 
contents of the syringe into SC tissue.  The plunger rod initiates a second spring-enabled 
mechanism to automatically retract the needle after the dose is completely delivered.  The 
retracted syringe and needle is permanently contained within the structure of the pen after the 
injection cycle is complete.  The entire pen is disposed after each use.
3.2.2. Semaglutide Pen
Ozempic is a registered trademark of Novo Nordisk A/S. All other trademarks are the property of 
their respective owners.
The semaglutide single-patient-use pen (Figure 3.2) is a multi-use, disposable injection device 
designed for once-weekly SC injection of semaglutide (Novo Nordisk IFU 2017).  Adult patients 
with T2DM are prescribed semaglutide in an escalating dose regimen of 0.25 mg starting dose 
for 4 weeks, followed by 0.5 mg, and a possible dose escalation after 4 weeks to 1.0 mg. The 
0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses are administered by 1 pen, with patients requiring 1.0 mg switching to 
the respective 1.0 mg pen device.  Semaglutide may be self-administered or administered by 
patients’ caregivers or HCPs.
The semaglutide pen is designed to deliver a SC injection in a manner similar to an insulin pen.  
The exposed needle length is variable, using NovoFine® needles ranging from 4 to 8 mm.  The 
needles used with the semaglutide pen will have a 32 gauge. 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol

LY2189265
Figure 3.2.
Semaglutide single-patient-use pen external view.
According to the instructions for use (IFU), the semaglutide pen is prepared by attaching a new 
needle via a push-on retention mechanism, priming the pen by dialing the flow check symbol and 
depressing the dose knob, turning the dose selection knob to the appropriate dose, inserting the 
needle under the skin, and pushing the dose knob to the end of travel. The patient is then 
instructed to count to 6, remove the needle from the skin, and safely discard the used needle.
3.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
While there are no direct therapeutic benefits to patients participating in the study, the results 
from this study will offer valuable insights into the patient preference and TTT of different 
injection devices in the same drug class.  Injection inertia is a documented and valid concern in 
the T2DM treatment paradigm, and this study will provide a further understanding of T2DM 
patients’ preferences for injection devices themselves (Khunti et al. 2013, 2016; 
Norrbacka et al. 2018).  The risk of this study will be minimized because the mock injections 
will be performed in practice pads and participants will be under the direct supervision of a study 
interviewer when handling the injection devices.  Participants are not injecting themselves in this 
study.
3.4.
Risks and Foreseeable Adverse Events/Device Effects
The following is a list of potential risks associated with participation in this clinical study:

Accidental needlestick injury

Accidental exposure to drug product (accidental self-injection)
The following is a list of potential risks associated with the study devices:

Improper functioning and/or mechanical failure of the device or its components (for 
example, no injection, slow injection into practice pad, partial injection into practice pad, 
cracked syringes, high force to operate device, damaged needle)

Skin reaction (for example, after accidental needlestick)

Nausea, gastrointestinal event, or low blood sugar potentially associated with exposure to 
drug product
3.5.
Methods to Minimize Risks
Training on both study devices will be provided by Evidera study staff based on the approved 
IFUs (Eli Lilly IFU 2017; Novo Nordisk IFU 2017).  Training for correct sharps 
handling/disposal is part of the study training, and no cross contamination is expected due to 
each participant receiving their own device, as well as injecting drug into a practice pad instead 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 18
LY2189265
of themselves.  In order to minimize risk of accidental needle sticks, participants will not recap 
the semaglutide needle.  A sharps container will be available to permit participants to remove the 
semaglutide needle and dispose of it immediately, rather than recapping the needle for later 
disposal.  Participants will be instructed to place the outer needle cap in the sharps container 
once it is removed from the device so they do not have the temptation to recap, which was found 
to be a potential opportunity for accidental needle sticks during the pilot study.  Study staff will 
monitor the participant at all times in the room and intervene should a dangerous situation occur.  
Participants will be under direct supervision of the study interviewer when handling the devices.
If a needlestick injury occurs or if a patient is exposed to drug, medical personnel will always be 
available to address any potential medical issues or concerns.  With patients recruited from 10 of 
the 14 sites, the interviews will be conducted at the sites where there will be nurses and 
physicians on staff ready to assist if necessary.  These clinical staff members will follow 
(monitor) the patient as per clinical judgment for a potential adverse event (AE) and follow the 
appropriate device-reporting procedures.  With patients recruited from the other four sites, the 
interviews will be conducted at interview facilities where medical professionals (e.g., nurses) 
hired specifically for this study will be ready to assist if necessary in case of AEs such as 
unanticipated needlesticks or self-injection.  
It is very unlikely that a participant will receive an accidental dose of medication for several 
reasons:  
1. The participants will only handle the devices under direct supervision of a study 
interviewer after the interviewer has demonstrated how to use the device on a mock 
injection pad.
2. Patients will be told that they should not inject themselves, and these devices will only be 
used for mock injections into an injection pad.
3. If a participant appears to begin injecting themselves rather than the injection pad, the 
interviewer would immediately interrupt the process and stop the participant from 
completing this self-injection. 
4. In the unlikely circumstance that a patient does have an accidental “needle stick,” no 
medication would be injected unless the patient continues with the injection procedure.  It 
is not possible for a patient to accidentally deliver a full dose of medication without 
intending to do so because a series of steps needs to be followed to inject a medication 
dose.  These steps for dulaglutide and semaglutide are described below:
a.
Dulaglutide: The participant would need to place the device over their skin, 
unlock the device by turning a lock ring, press the injection button, and hold the 
device in place for approximately 5 – 10 seconds.  
b. Semaglutide: The participant would need to turn the dose selector to a dose, insert 
the needle into their skin, press the injection button, and wait approximately 6 
seconds.  
Even if a participant completes this highly unlikely series of events and does receive an injection 
of medication, a single dose of either drug is likely to have minimal clinical impact.  These two 
medications are GLP-1 receptor agonists, not insulin.  Therefore, the risk of hypoglycemia after 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 19
LY2189265
a single dose is low, and steady state therapeutic medication concentration is not achieved for 
approximately 25 days with dulaglutide and 4 – 5 weeks with semaglutide.  However, medical 
personnel available for the study will be aware of this risk and ready to give oral sugar 
preparations.  Medical personnel would also be informed of the potential for transient GI side 
effects of a single dose which would be easily manageable with antiemetics.  
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks of dulaglutide and 
semaglutide may be found in the following:  Protocol Sections 3.3 and 3.4.

5. Study Design
5.1.
Overall Design
Study H9X-MC-B021 is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, crossover study assessing 
patient preference (and training time) for the dulaglutide pen versus the semaglutide pen (Figure 
5.1).  Approximately 290 self-injection naïve patients with T2DM and taking oral medication to 
treat their condition will be recruited from approximately 14 clinical sites in the US.  The TTT 
assessment will be conducted in a subset of 75 to 80 self-injection naïve patients from 
approximately 5 of the selected US clinical sites.  All participants will receive training and 
perform mock injections on a practice pad using both devices.  The order of device training and 
administration will be randomized.  Participants will also complete a series of questionnaires to 
determine their device preference.  All participants will attend a single in-person study visit.  
Prior to commencing the study, a pilot phase will be conducted with approximately 10 to 20 
self-injection naïve patients with T2DM.  The purpose of the pilot phase is to create a clear and 
streamlined training procedure for each device in order to finalize the steps of the training 
approach to use in the main phase of the study.  The pilot phase data will not be included in the 
final sample of approximately 290 self-injection naïve patients with T2DM for the analyses.  
Figure 5.1.
Study diagram for the patient preference study.
The devices for this study will be the commercialized injection pens containing non-modified 
commercial product with stickers on the devices indicating that the devices are intended for use 
in clinical trial.  However, no active drug will be administered as patients will not be injecting 
themselves.  Instead, patients will perform mock injections into a practice pad after being trained 
in the use of each device.  Fifty percent of patients will be randomized to use the dulaglutide 
device first, while the other half will use the semaglutide device first.  Lilly will provide all 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 22
LY2189265
injection devices that will be used in this study because commercial devices are being used 
during the interviews and mock injections.  The drug names will be visible to patients and the 
device names will not be blinded to the participants.  The devices are physically different from 
one another, thus even if the participants were blinded to the pens they could discern the name of 
each device.  More details about blinding are provided in Section 7.3.
5.2.
Number of Participants
It is expected that approximately double the estimated total sample will be screened (i.e., an 
estimated 580 participants across all clinical sites, 48 to 50 participants per site will be screened) 
to achieve 290 evaluable participants who are eligible and interested to participate in the main 
phase.  Patients will not be randomized to device training order, until they have signed consent. 
Similarly, for the preceding pilot phase, approximately 20 to 40 participants will be screened to 
reach 10 to 20 evaluable participants who are eligible and interested to participate.  
5.3.
End of Study Definition
End of the study is the date of the last visit or last scheduled procedure shown in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 2) for the last patient.
5.4.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
The multicenter crossover study design was selected to control for order effects while allowing 
patients to directly compare 2 devices.  The order in which the participants are exposed to the
devices will be randomized.  Fifty percent of patients will be randomized to use the dulaglutide 
device first, while the other half will use the semaglutide device first.  All participants will attend 
a single in-person study visit.  Table 2.1 displays the schedule of activities for this crossover 
study.  Ethical Review Board (ERB) approval will be obtained before study implementation.  
More details about the regulatory and ethical considerations for this study, including the 
informed consent process, are provided in Appendix 2.
5.5.
Data Collection Process
An overview of the study data collection procedures is presented in this section.  Subsections are 
presented separately for the pilot and the main phase.  For the pilot phase, recruitment and data 
collection efforts will be conducted by Evidera (a business unit within Pharmaceutical Product 
Development, LLC [PPD]).  For the main phase, approximately 14 clinical sites across the US 
will be identified.  These clinical sites will recruit, confirm patient eligibility, and schedule all 
study interviews.  The interviews that do not include the TTT assessment will take place at the 
actual clinical sites.  Approximately 5 clinical sites will be selected for the subset of TTT 
interviews.  The TTT interviews will occur at interview facilities with a 1-way mirror near to the 
clinical sites selected for recruitment.  Evidera study staff will travel to all main phase interview 
locations to conduct the study interviews in-person.  
Any study interviews conducted at non-clinical facilities will require a medical professional (for 
example, nurse or paramedic) to be on site in case of AEs such as unanticipated needlesticks.

LY2189265
5.5.1. Pilot Phase:  Participant Recruitment and Screening 
Procedures
Approximately 10 to 20 participants will be recruited for the pilot phase via ERB-approved 
newspaper advertisements, internet classified advertisements, and/or other advertisements in 
social media outlets (Appendix 3).  For advertisements, study staff from Evidera will arrange 
toll-free phone numbers for interested participants to call and leave messages.  Study staff will 
also arrange a study-specific e-mail address that participants can use to respond to 
advertisements and provide their contact information via e-mail.  Study staff will regularly check 
the voicemail box and e-mail inbox to promptly respond to interested participants.  The 
voicemail box will be password protected, and only assigned study team members will have 
access to the password to obtain participants’ contact information.  For the study e-mail account, 
only the necessary study team members will be granted permission to the e-mail account by 
Evidera IT staff.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis will be verified through proof of oral antidiabetic medication
use.  Study staff will screen potential participants who respond to the advertisement to ensure 
that they meet study inclusion criteria (Appendix 4).  In addition to the inclusion/exclusion 
criteria, several demographic questions such as age, gender, and employment status will be asked 
to monitor eligibility and sample diversity throughout the recruitment process.  If any 
inclusion/exclusion criteria cannot be confirmed via phone screening (for example, participant’s 
cognitive ability to understand the device trainings), the final eligibility determination will be 
established at the time of the interview (Appendix 5 for Inclusion/Exclusion Form will be 
completed at the beginning of the interview).  
Those participants considered eligible based on screening will be scheduled for an interview by 
study staff.  All pilot phase participants will participate in the TTT assessment.  Any identifying 
information (for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers) that is recorded on the 
screening/scheduling scripts will be kept in a limited access, locked filing cabinet.  Prior to the 
interviews, project staff will send participant’s confirmation (and directions to the interview 
location) by e-mail or mail according to participant’s preference (Appendix 6).  Reminder phone 
calls will be made to participants 1 day before the interview.  During previous studies, it has 
been found that these reminder phone calls reduce the likelihood that participants will fail to 
attend their appointment (Appendix 7).  However, it might not be possible to speak to all 
participants 1 day before the interviews (for example, no answer), if so, e-mail reminders will be 
sent (Appendix 7).  At least 1 reminder will be sent to all pilot phase participants about their 
study interview when possible from the assigned study team member. 
5.5.2. Main Phase:  Participant Recruitment and Screening 
Procedures
The Evidera clinical site database will be used to identify the appropriate US clinical sites for 
inclusion in the study.  Sites in a variety of geographical locations with diverse patient 
populations will be recruited to ensure sample diversity.  Approximately 14 sites will be targeted 
for recruitment for the total estimated sample size of 290 injection naïve patients with T2DM.

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 24
LY2189265
The TTT assessment will be conducted in a subset of 75 to 80 patients from approximately 5 of 
the US clinical sites in the main phase.  Evidera will identify interview facilities in the same city 
as the selected clinical sites participating in the TTT interviews.  Study staff will determine 
facilities that are conveniently located for participants.  Facilities will provide a private interview 
room with a closed door and a 1-way mirror for the second staff member to time the training.  
The non-TTT study interviews will be conducted at the actual clinical sites the T2DM 
participants are recruited from throughout the US.
Clinical site staff will identify and verify the initial eligibility of participants through a records 
review.  A clinical site staff member will approach the potential participant in person (at the 
clinic or by phone) and briefly introduce the study using a standard screening script (Appendix 
8).  If the patient is interested, the study will be explained in full detail, and a full screening will 
be conducted to ensure eligibility (Appendix 9).  Clinical staff will schedule all study interviews 
during the specified timeframe when Evidera staff will be conducting the study interviews for 
their site.  Clinical staff will track recruitment efforts using the participant recruitment tracking 
log (Appendix 10).  Any identifying information (for example, names, addresses, telephone 
numbers) that is recorded on the screening/scheduling scripts will be kept in a limited access, 
locked filing cabinet.  
Prior to the interviews, clinical site staff will send participants confirmation (and directions to the 
interview location) by e-mail or post according to participant’s preference (Appendix 6).  
Reminder phone calls will be made to participants 1 day before the interview.  During previous 
studies, it has been found that these reminder phone calls reduce the likelihood that participants 
will fail to attend their appointment (Appendix 7).  However, it might not be possible to speak to 
all participants 1 day before the interviews (for example, no answer), if so, e-mail reminders will 
be sent (Appendix 7).  At least 1 reminder will be sent to all participants about their study 
interview when possible from the clinical sites.
5.5.3. Overview of Study Visit Procedures for the Pilot Phase
Table 2.1 provides an overview of the study schedule of activities.  During the study visit,
participants will begin with the completion of the informed consent. The order in which self-
injection naïve participants are trained on using each device will then be randomized using a 
validated software system.  More details about the randomization process are described in 
Section 7.2.  Half the participants will be randomized to be trained and perform mock injections 
on the dulaglutide device first followed by the semaglutide device and the other half of the 
participants will use the devices in the reverse order.  All participants will complete a 
Supplemental Question (Appendix 11) at the beginning of the study to determine their baseline 
willingness to use a diabetes injectable medication prior to being exposed to either the 
dulaglutide or semaglutide devices.
Trained interviewers will follow the study Interview and Device Training Guide (Appendix 12), 
in order to standardize the presentation of devices to participants and ensure that the training is 
clear and not biased in favor of either device.  For the pilot phase, the trained interviewers will 
try several training options for each device to determine the finalized steps of the training 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol

LY2189265
approach to use in the main phase of the study.  Various approaches will include detailed 
demonstration by the interviewer, presentation of video demonstrations on tablets or laptops, 
independent reading of the IFU, and combinations of these 3 approaches.  Participants will 
perform mock injections on a practice pad after being trained in the use of each device.  
During the interview, if the participant does not complete one of the critical steps or if the steps 
are completed out of order, the Interview and Device Training Guide (Appendix 12) provides 
interviewers instructions for handling these situations.  The participant will be allowed 5 
attempts to follow the instructions and perform the mock injection(s) for each device.  If after 5 
attempts the participant is unable to successfully perform the mock injection on the practice pad 
for either device, the interviewer will instruct the participant to stop using the device and proceed 
ahead with the interview.  
The TTT assessment for each device will also be tested in the pilot phase after the near-final 
methods are determined.  The appropriate staff member will discreetly record the necessary 
training times using the TTT Observer Recording Sheet for each device (Appendix 13).  In 
between the trainings on each device, all participants will be given a restroom and water break.  
During this break, participants will also complete the Demographic Form (Appendix 14).
Once participants have attempted each device training and mock injection(s) on the practice pad, 
interviewers will complete the Interviewer Recording Sheet to document randomization order 
and if the patient was able to complete both device trainings (Appendix 15).  Pilot phase 
participants will also be administered a series of interview questions about the training 
procedures (Appendix 16).  Based on interviewer experiences and patient feedback during these 
estimated 10 to 20 pilot phase interviews, the training approach and interview procedures will be 
finalized prior to beginning the main phase with approximately 290 patients.  
After the interview questions, pilot phase participants will be given an optional second break.  
Participants will then be asked to complete questionnaires to report their preferences between the 
2 devices.  Specifically, participants will complete a Global Preference Item (Appendix 17) and 
the DID-PQ (Appendix 18).  Four items selected from the Medication Delivery Device 
Assessment Battery (MDDAB) (Matfin et al. 2015; Yu et al. 2017) will be asked of participants
about each of the devices under investigation to use in the validation of the DID-PQ (Ozempic 
device-specific questions: Appendix 19; Trulicity device-specific questions: Appendix 20).  
These additional questions will be completed in the order the participants were randomized to 
use the devices.  Participants will also complete Supplemental Questions S2 and S3 to determine 
their end of study willingness to use each of the study injection devices (Appendix 21).  
Pilot phase interview will last approximately 90 to 120 minutes including consenting and 
training in device procedures.  All pilot phase participants will be remunerated an amount 
slightly more than the main phase participants (i.e., a specified amount between $100 and $150
via Greenphire ClinCard) because they will be participating in debriefing procedures and 
possibly multiple training approaches.  The pilot phase interviews are expected to be longer than 
the main phase interviews.

5.5.4. Overview of Study Visit Procedures for the Main Phase
Table 2.1 provides an overview of the study schedule of activities.  During the study visit, 
participants will begin with the completion of the informed consent.  The order in which 
participants are trained on using each device will then be randomized.  More details about the 
randomization process are described in Section 7.2.  Half the participants will be randomized to 
be trained and perform mock injections on the dulaglutide device first followed by the 
semaglutide device and the other half of the participants will use the devices in the reverse order.  
All participants will complete a Supplemental Question (Appendix 11) at the very beginning of 
the study to determine their baseline willingness to use a diabetes injectable medication prior to 
being exposed to either the dulaglutide or semaglutide devices.  
Trained study interviewers will follow the study Interview and Device Training Guide 
(Appendix 12) to standardize the presentation of devices to participants and ensure that the 
training is clear and not biased in favor of either device.  Based on findings from the pilot phase, 
the finalized main phase training approach will be conducted with the patients for each device
including a detailed demonstration by the interviewer.  The same standardized interview 
approach will be used for all the main phase patients.  For each device, patients will be given the 
IFU and asked to read it.  Then the interviewer will demonstrate how to use the device.  
Participants will perform mock injections on a practice pad after being trained in the use of each 
device.  Patients will have access to the IFU during the entire training and injection process.  If 
the participant does not complete one of the critical steps or if the steps are completed out of 
order, the Interview and Device Training Guide (Appendix 12) provides interviewers instructions 
for handling these situations.  The participant will be allowed 5 attempts to follow the 
instructions and perform the mock injection(s) for each device.  If after 5 attempts the participant 
is unable to successfully perform the mock injection on the practice pad for either device, the 
interviewer will instruct the participant to stop using the device and proceed ahead with the 
interview.  
For those participants selected for the TTT assessment (i.e., a subset of approximately 75 to 80 
patients across an estimated 5 clinical sites), the assessments will be done in an off-site facility to 
allow for the discreet timing of the training event (for example, 1-way mirror).  The appropriate 
staff member will discreetly record the necessary training times using the TTT Observer 
Recording Sheet for each device (Appendix 13).  In between the trainings on each device, all 
participants will complete the Demographic Form (Appendix 14).  
Once participants have attempted each device training and mock injection(s) on the practice pad, 
interviewers will complete the Interviewer Recording Sheet to document randomization order
and if the patient was able to complete both device trainings (Appendix 15).  Participants will 
then be asked to complete questionnaires to report their preferences between the 2 devices.  
Specifically, participants will complete a Global Preference Item (Appendix 17) and the DID-PQ 
(Appendix 18).  Four items selected from the MDDAB (Matfin et al. 2015; Yu et al. 2017) will 
be asked of participants about each of the devices under investigation to use in the validation of 
the DID-PQ (Ozempic device-specific questions: Appendix 19; Trulicity device-specific 
questions: Appendix 20).  These additional questions will be completed in the order the 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol

LY2189265
participants were randomized to use the devices.  Participants will also complete Supplemental
Questions S2 and S3 to determine their end of study willingness to use each of the study 
injection devices (Appendix 21).  A Clinical Information Form (Appendix 22) will also be 
completed by the site clinical staff for each patient in the main phase.  
Main phase interview will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes including consenting and training 
in device procedures.  The maximum time for all study procedures is 90 minutes as specified in 
the consent form.  All main phase participants will be remunerated a specified amount between 
$100 and $150 (via Greenphire ClinCard) for their time and travel time to the study interview.

The devices used for this study will be commercialized injection pens containing non-modified 
commercial product with stickers on the devices indicating for use in clinical trial.  However, no 
active drug will be administered because patients will not be injecting themselves.  Instead, 
patients will perform mock injections into a practice pad after being trained in the use of each 
device by a study team member. Specifically, the patients will be trained on devices that contain 
the lowest dose (i.e., dulaglutide = 0.75mg; semaglutide = 0.25mg) for both treatments for safety 
concerns (for example, accidental needle stick) and because these are the typical starting and 
training doses for these 2 products in the US.  However, it is critical to acknowledge that the 
devices are very similar across all drug strengths.  Therefore, the study findings could be 
applicable to other dulaglutide and semaglutide device doses, as well as other antidiabetic drugs 
using the same devices.

Treatments Administered
This study involves a comparison of marketed devices, and no treatment will be administered.
The investigator or his/her designee is responsible for the following:

Explaining the correct use of the investigational agent(s) to the patient

Verifying that instructions are followed properly

Maintaining accurate records of investigational product dispensing and collection

At the end of the study, returning all unused medication to Lilly, or its designee, 
unless the sponsor and sites have agreed all unused medication is to be destroyed 
by the site, as allowed by local law
7.1.1. Packaging and Labeling
The dulaglutide and semaglutide devices will be labeled according to applicable regulatory 
requirements. The devices used in the study shall be securely stored until returned or destroyed 
according to instructions from the sponsor. Information such as lot number, quantity, and 
disposition of device(s) used during the clinical study shall be documented.
Refer to the device labeling/instructions for use (IFU) for the following:

Instructions regarding storage and handling requirements, preparation for use, 
pre-use checks, and any precautions to be taken after use or disposal.

Summary of necessary training and experience required.

Description of procedures for use.
7.1.2. Medical Devices 
The manufactured medical devices provided for use in the study are the dulaglutide pen and the 
semaglutide pen.  
7.2.
Method of Device Assignment
For the pilot phase, assignment to device order study groups will be randomized using a 
validated software system.
For the main phase, assignment to device order study groups will be determined by a 
computer-generated random sequence using an interactive web-response system (IWRS).  The 
IWRS will be used to assign the first device to be used by the patient.  Randomization will occur 
at the study level in efforts to make sure that there are a comparable number of patients who start 
with the dulaglutide device versus the semaglutide device across the entire study population.

7.2.1. Selection and Timing of Doses
Timing of dosing is not applicable.  The patients will be trained on devices that contain the 
lowest dose per device (i.e., dulaglutide = 0.75mg; semaglutide = 0.25mg).  
7.3.
Blinding
This is an open-label study.  All participants will be trained and perform mock injections on a 
practice pad using labeled dulaglutide and semaglutide devices with the brand names of Trulicity 
and Ozempic on the pens as displayed in Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2, respectively.  
7.4.
Dosage Modification

Study Assessments and Procedures
Table 2.1 lists the Schedule of Activities for this crossover study for each of the study phases.  
All outcome assessments will be administered in both phases, except the pilot phase interview 
questions will only be administered during the pilot phase and the Clinical Information Form will 
only be completed by the clinical site for each patient in the main phase.  
9.1.
Outcome Assessments
9.1.1. Primary/Secondary Assessments
After participants have been trained and used both devices, they will then complete a Global 
Preference Item about which device they prefer (Appendix 17) to evaluate the primary objective.  
Specifically, participants will be asked, “Overall, which device do you prefer?”  Participants will 
also be asked to explain why they selected their response for Ozempic, Trulicity, or no 
preference.
Participants will then complete the 10-item DID-PQ to evaluate the gated secondary objective, 
which is based on Item 9 of the DID-PQ (i.e., overall ease of using the injection device).  The 
DID-PQ compares the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices head-to-head in terms of a variety of 
device characteristics (for example, ease of preparing the injection device, time it takes to 
prepare and inject each dose of medication, confidence that you are using the injection device 
correctly, and overall convenience of using the injection device) (Appendix 18).
9.1.2. Appropriateness of Assessments
9.1.2.1.
Supplemental Questions
In addition to the Global Preference Item, the DID-PQ, and the 4 items selected from the 
MDDAB for each device, Supplemental Questions will be included in the survey to elicit 
patients’ perceptions of T2DM treatment using injectable agents (Appendix 11).  The 
Supplemental Questions developed for this study are based on previous items used in the article 
by Poon et al. (2018).  The first question will be administered to participants before the device 
trainings and will determine the participants’ “willingness to use a diabetes medication that 
required an injection for each dose.”  The second and third Supplemental Questions will be 
administered to the participants after all the trainings, mock injections, and other study measures 
have been completed.  Questions S2 and S3 will ask participants specifically about their 
willingness to use the Ozempic and Trulicity devices, respectively (Appendix 21).  Responses to 
these questions will be used to determine patients’ willingness to use each of the devices after 
being trained on both.
9.1.2.2.
Time-to-Train Observer Recording Sheet
For the TTT interviews, the study staff member observing and timing behind the 1-way mirror at 
the interview facilities will record the start and end times of the key training steps for each 
device (Appendix 13).

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 35
LY2189265
9.1.2.3.
Demographic Form
A Demographic Form will be completed by participants in between the device trainings.  This 
form includes questions on age, sex, ethnicity, living situation, employment, education level, and 
other health conditions (Appendix 14).
9.1.2.4.
Interviewer Recording Sheet
The trained interviewer will use the Interviewer Recording Sheet to document each participant’s 
randomization order and whether or not the participant was able to complete each of the device 
trainings.  If the participant was shown the device, but did not complete the actual device 
training, the interviewer should explain what happened on this sheet (Appendix 15).  
9.1.2.5.
Pilot Phase Interview Questions
During the pilot phase, once the participants have completed both trainings and mock injections 
on the practice pad, the participants will be administered a series of interview questions about the 
training procedures (Appendix 16).  These interview questions will guide the discussion with the 
participants to determine the final training approach to use during the main phase.  
9.1.2.6.
Global Preference Item
All participants will complete the Global Preference Item after being trained and using both 
devices (Appendix 17).  Participants will be asked, “Overall, which device do you prefer?”  
Interviewers will then ask participants to explain why they selected their response for Ozempic, 
Trulicity, or no preference.  The interviewer will transcribe the participant’s response using 
quotation marks to capture the respondent’s exact words.  The Global Preference Item was 
developed specifically for use in this device preference multicenter crossover study.  To help 
participants remember the devices more accurately, colored images of the devices have been 
inserted into the questionnaire.  
9.1.2.7.
Diabetes Injection Device – Preference Questionnaire 
The Diabetes Injection Device – Preference Questionnaire (DID-PQ) was designed for the 
purpose of assessing patient preferences between 2 non-insulin injection devices (Appendix 18) 
(Matza et al. 2018a).  On the DID-PQ, each item is rated on a 5-point scale allowing patients to 
indicate whether they prefer or strongly prefer one of the devices over the other.  For each item, 
patients may also respond by selecting the “no preference” (i.e., neutral) response option, 
indicating that they have no preference between the 2 devices.  Specifically, for this study, the 
DID-PQ response options will be: Strongly Prefer Ozempic Device, Prefer Ozempic Device, 
Strongly Prefer Trulicity Device, Prefer Trulicity Device, or have No Preference.  To help 
participants remember the devices more accurately, colored images of the devices have been 
inserted into the questionnaire.  
9.1.2.8.
Four Items from the Medication Delivery Device Assessment 
The original MDDAB was adapted from insulin-specific questionnaires and has been modified 
for use in both injection-naïve and non-insulin requiring participants (Matfin et al. 2015).  Four 
items selected from the MDDAB (Matfin et al. 2015; Yu et al. 2017) will be asked of the 
participants about each of the devices under investigation in this study (Ozempic device-specific 
questions: Appendix 19; Trulicity device-specific questions: Appendix 20).  These additional 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 36
LY2189265
questions will be completed in the order the participants were randomized to use the devices.  
The first 3 questions ask participants how easy or difficult it was to: (1) learn to use the device,
(2) to follow the instructions when using the device, and (3) overall, how difficult or easy was 
the device to use?  The last question asks participants to “Please check the number that best 
indicates how willing you are to continue using the device” on a scale from 1 (“Definitely 
Unwilling”) to 5 (“Definitely Willing”).  These items will be used in the validation of the 
DID-PQ, specifically to assess construct validity of the DID-PQ by comparing responses.  
9.1.2.9.
Clinical Information Form
A Clinical Information Form will be completed by the site personnel for each participant 
completing the study visit (Appendix 22).  This form includes a question to document the 
patients’ T2DM diagnosis date, the current oral medications the patient is taking to treat their 
T2DM, and the patients’ most recent HbA1c value and date this value was measured.  
9.2.
Adverse Events
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of patients who have entered this study 
and for alerting Lilly or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if this event may be 
considered an unanticipated benefit to the patient.
The investigator is responsible for the appropriate medical care of patients during the study.
Investigators must document their review of each laboratory safety report.
The investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate health care option, 
AEs that are serious or otherwise medically important, considered related to the investigational 
product or the study, or that caused the patient to discontinue the investigational product before 
completing the study.  The patient should be followed until the event resolves, stabilizes with 
appropriate diagnostic evaluation, or is reasonably explained.  The frequency of follow-up 
evaluations of the AE is left to the discretion of the investigator.
After the informed consent form is signed, study site personnel will record via designated data 
transmission methods the occurrence and nature of each patient’s preexisting conditions, 
including clinically significant signs and symptoms of the disease under treatment in the study.  
In addition, site personnel will record any change in the condition(s) and any new conditions as 
AEs. Investigators should record their assessment of the potential relatedness of each AE to 
protocol procedure, investigational device, via designated data transmission methods.
The investigator will interpret and document whether or not an AE has a reasonable possibility 
of being related to study treatment, study device, or a study procedure, taking into account the 
disease, concomitant treatment, or pathologies.
A “reasonable possibility” means that there is a cause and effect relationship between the 
investigational product, study device and/or study procedure, and the AE.
The investigator answers yes/no when making this assessment.

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 37
LY2189265
Planned surgeries and non-surgical interventions should not be reported as AEs unless the 
underlying medical condition has worsened during the course of the study.
If a patient’s investigational device is discontinued as a result of an AE, study site personnel 
must report this to Lilly or its designee via designated data transmission methods, clarifying if 
possible, the circumstances leading to any dosage modifications, or discontinuations of 
treatment.  
The appropriate AE reporting procedures will be followed for each device under investigation in 
this study.  
9.2.1. Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE from this study that results in one of the following 
outcomes:

Death

Initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization

A life-threatening experience (i.e., immediate risk of dying)

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity

Congenital anomaly/birth defect

Important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention 
to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.  Examples of 
such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse.

When a condition related to the injection pens necessitates medical or surgical 
intervention to preclude either permanent impairment of a body function or 
permanent damage to a body structure, the serious outcome of “required 
intervention” will be assigned.
Study site personnel must alert Lilly or its designee of any SAE within 24 hours of investigator 
awareness of the event via a sponsor-approved method.  If alerts are issued via telephone, they 
are to be immediately followed with official notification on study-specific SAE forms.  This 
24-hour notification requirement refers to the initial SAE information and all follow-up SAE 
information. Patients with a serious hepatic AE should have additional data collected using the 
designated data transmission methods.
Pregnancy (during maternal or paternal exposure to investigational product) does not meet the 
definition of an AE.  However, to fulfill regulatory requirements, any pregnancy should be 
reported following the SAE process to collect data on the outcome for both mother and fetus.

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 38
LY2189265
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in subjects once they have 
discontinued and/or completed the study (the patient disposition case report form) has been 
completed).  However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after 
a subject has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event reasonably possibly 
related to the study treatment or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify Lilly.
9.2.1.1.
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) are serious events that the 
investigator identifies as related to investigational product or procedure.  United States 21 CFR 
312.32 and European Union Clinical Trial Directive 2001/20/EC and the associated detailed 
guidances or national regulatory requirements in participating countries require the reporting of 
SUSARs. Lilly has procedures that will be followed for the identification, recording, and 
expedited reporting of SUSARs that are consistent with global regulations and the associated 
detailed guidances.
9.2.2. Adverse Event Monitoring with a Systematic Questionnaire 
Not applicable because this is a device preference study, and no active drug will be administered 
as patients will not be injecting themselves.  
9.2.3. Complaint Handling
Lilly collects product complaints on investigational products and drug delivery systems used in 
clinical studies in order to ensure the safety of study participants, to monitor quality, and to 
facilitate process and product improvements.
Patients will be instructed to contact the investigator as soon as possible if he/she has a complaint 
or problem with the investigational product or drug delivery system so that the situation can be 
assessed.
The appropriate product complaint reporting procedures will be followed for each device under 
investigation in this study.

10. Statistical Considerations
10.1. Sample Size Determination
To test the null hypothesis that patients have equal preference for either dulaglutide or 
semaglutide pen (50% of patients prefer dulaglutide pen and 50% prefer semaglutide pen), a 
sample size of 260 patients will provide 90% power against alternative hypothesis that there is a 
preference with 60% of the patients choosing the dulaglutide pen over the semaglutide pen.
Calculation is carried out using 2-sided chi-square test (normal approximation) at 0.05 level of 
significance.  Software used is Nquery + nTerim 4.0.  Assuming that approximately 10% will not 
provide any preference information by choosing the “no preference” option on the Global 
Preference Item, 290 patients will be needed to have at least 260 patients with preference 
information. The Prescott test which takes into account the order the device is used as well as 
the choice of “no preference” provides approximately 90% power against the alternative 
hypothesis of 54% choosing dulaglutide pen, 10% indicating no preference, and the remaining 
36% choosing semaglutide pen. This is based on simulation of 1000 runs and assumes that there 
is no order effect.
10.2. Populations for Analyses
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:
Population
Description
Randomized
Participants determined to be eligible and then assigned to one of 2 
device order groups (50% will be randomized to use the dulaglutide 
device first, while the other half will use the semaglutide device first).  
More details about randomization for this study are provided in 
Section 7.2.
Evaluable
Participants for whom device preference can be evaluated:
Randomized participants who are exposed to both devices (i.e., 
participant was shown both devices via demonstration, regardless of 
whether they successfully complete the training) and complete the 
Global Preference Item.
Withdrawn 
Participants who withdraw from the study before being exposed to both 
devices and completing the Global Preference item.  Details on study 
withdrawal are provided in Section 8.
10.3. Statistical Analyses
10.3.1. General Statistical Considerations
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Evidera.  The statistical analyses are 
summarized by study objective and endpoint(s) in Table 1.1.  
Statistical analyses will be conducted on the evaluable patient population (i.e., patients who 
provide a response to the Global Preference Item).  

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 41
LY2189265
The significance level for all statistical tests will be p<.05.  Gatekeeping strategy will be used to 
control for type 1 error for the primary and gated secondary objective. 
Any change to the statistical analysis methods described in the protocol will require an 
amendment ONLY if it changes a principal feature of the protocol.  Any other change to the 
statistical analysis methods described in the protocol, and the justification for making the change, 
will be described in the clinical study report (CSR).  A more detailed description of this 
statistical analysis will be provided in a statistical analysis plan (SAP), and additional 
exploratory analyses of the data may be conducted as deemed appropriate.
10.3.2. Treatment Group Comparability
10.3.2.1. Patient Disposition
A detailed description of patient disposition will be provided at the end of the study. 
10.3.2.2. Patient Characteristics
Descriptive statistics will summarize demographics, clinical characteristics, and patient-reported 
outcome (PRO) measures. Continuous variables will be summarized with means, standard 
deviations, ranges, and minimum and maximum values.  Categorical variables such as gender 
and race will be presented in terms of frequencies and percentages.  Demographics, clinical 
characteristics, and PRO data will be presented by assigned randomization group.  
10.3.2.3. Concomitant Therapy 
Not applicable.  
10.3.2.4. Treatment Compliance
Not applicable.  
10.3.3. Statistical Analyses
10.3.3.1. Primary Analyses
The primary analysis of this study will evaluate the results of the Global Preference Item (i.e., 
Overall, which device do you prefer?) to examine whether there is a difference in preference 
between the dulaglutide device and the semaglutide device.  The Prescott test will be run to 
determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices, 
while controlling for order effects.  The preference results (for example, counts, percentages and 
95% confidence interval [CI]) will also be presented.  The qualitative data capturing reasons for
the response to the Global Preference Item will also be presented.  
10.3.3.2. Gated Secondary Analyses
The gated secondary analysis of this study will be conducted if the primary objective is found 
statistically significant. The analysis will compare the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices with 
regard to ease of use.  Responses to the 5-point response scale of DID-PQ Item 9 (Overall ease 
of use) will be collapsed into 3 categories.  The “strongly prefer” and “prefer” response options 
will be combined for each device, resulting in 3 categories: prefer dulaglutide, prefer 
semaglutide, and no preference.  Then, the Prescott test will be run to examine whether there is a 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 42
LY2189265
statistically significant difference in preference between the devices, while controlling for order 
effects.  Data from global Item 9 on the DID-PQ will also be presented to illustrate the “ease of 
use” responses by device (for example, counts, percentages, and 95% CI).  
The complete scoring guide for the DID-PQ will be presented in the SAP for this study.  
10.3.3.3. Exploratory Analyses 
10.3.3.3.1. Exploratory 1.  DID-PQ Analyses of Items 1 to 8 and 10
Exploratory analyses of Items 1 to 8 and 10 of the DID-PQ will follow the same procedures as 
those for the gated secondary objective described above. 
10.3.3.3.2. Exploratory 2.  Time-to-Train Analyses 
Exploratory analysis 2 of this study will focus on the TTT for each device.  The average duration 
required to train and successfully inject each device will be assessed using the linear model 
appropriate for a crossover design. Carryover effects will be examined.  If there are no 
significant carryover effects, then TTT for both the first and second trainings will be used in this 
analysis.  If there is a significant carryover effect, then this analysis will use data for whichever 
device is trained first.  Average duration required to train and successfully inject each device will 
be reported.  
10.3.3.3.3. Exploratory 3.  Supplemental Question Analyses 
Using the data from the 3 Supplemental Questions (i.e., S1. Would you be willing to use a 
diabetes medication that required you to give yourself an injection for each dose?; S2. How 
willing would you be to use the Ozempic injection device?; and S3. How willing would you be 
to use the Trulicity injection device?), descriptive analyses will be run to examine willingness to 
use each of the devices after being trained on both.  Descriptive statistics will be reported for 
each item (i.e., frequencies, percentages).  
10.3.3.3.4. Exploratory 4.  Evaluation of the DID-PQ 
Exploratory analysis 4 will focus on psychometric evaluation of the DID-PQ.  The DID-PQ has 
been administered in 2 studies thus far: the original psychometric validation study (Matza et al. 
2017b) and the US study comparing the dulaglutide and liraglutide devices (Matza et al. 2018a).  
In both studies, the DID-PQ was administered to a relatively small subgroup of patients who had 
used more than 1 GLP-1 RA device.  Therefore, it has not previously been possible to perform 
statistical analyses examining the validity of this PRO instrument.  
Since all estimated 290 patients in this study will complete the DID-PQ, this study provides a 
unique opportunity to perform analyses evaluating the performance of this instrument.  The 
primary validation approach will be to examine known-groups validity, which is the extent to 
which scores from an instrument distinguish among groups of participants that differ in terms of 
a relevant clinical or other indicator.  By comparing DID-PQ responses of patients categorized 
based on the responses to the Global Preference Item, known-groups validity will be evaluated.  
Additional analyses will examine construct validity, which is the degree to which a measure 
performs as expected in relation to other measures.  Construct validity will be assessed by 
comparing DID-PQ responses to responses on 4 items selected from the MDDAB 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol

LY2189265
(Matfin et al. 2015; Yu et al. 2017).  Cross-tabulation tables of these 4 items by response options 
for each of the DID-PQ items will be presented.  The 4 items assess (1) ease of learning how to 
use the device, (2) ease of following instructions when using the device, (3) overall ease-of-use, 
and (4) willingness to continue using the device.
Lastly, the DID-PQ exploratory approach for comparing devices will be examined relative to the 
ancillary measures (i.e., responses on the 4 items selected from the MDDAB for each device).  
This approach to analyzing data from the DID-PQ was developed as part of the original 
instrument development work, but it has never before been implemented and evaluated in a 
study.  Among patients indicating a preference for one device over the other, a statistical test can 
be performed to determine whether a significant preference exists. This test would assess 
whether the proportion indicating preference for one of the 2 devices differs from 0.5.  A value 
of 0.5 would indicate that there is equal preference for the 2 devices.  The frequency of 
preferences for Device 1 and Device 2 may be examined using a 2-sided binomial test for each 
item of the DID-PQ.  For each DID-PQ item, the null hypothesis would be that the probability of 
preferring one of the devices is 0.5.  If the binomial test yields a significant p-value, then the null 
hypothesis can be rejected, which would mean that significantly more respondents preferred one 
device over the other.
10.3.3.4. Missing Data
Study team members will perform a thorough review of the participants’ questionnaires prior to 
the completion of each interview to minimize missing data.  No imputations will be performed 
for missing data.  If a participant decides to withdraw from the study, data collected to the point 
of withdrawal may be used in analysis to preserve the integrity of the research project.  There 
will be no lost to follow-up data because there is no follow-up period in this study.
10.3.4. Safety Analyses
This study focuses on preference between devices, and no medication will be administered to 
study participants.  However, if a participant reports an AE related to the study, the appropriate 
reporting procedures will be followed.  See Section 9.2 for more AE details.  
10.3.5. Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analyses
Not applicable as no investigational drug or treatment will be administered during this study.
10.3.6. Evaluation of Immunogenicity 
Not applicable.  
10.3.7. Other Analyses
10.3.7.1. Health Economics 
Not applicable.

10.3.7.3. Pilot Phase Analyses 
Analyses of the pilot phase data will include both descriptive statistics and a content analysis 
approach.  The purpose of the pilot phase is to ensure that the training materials and interview 
procedures are clear, comprehensible, and feasible prior to the main phase.  
Descriptive statistics (for example, mean, standard deviation, frequency) will be used to 
summarize the sample in terms of sociodemographic characteristics and on the other measures 
completed by the participants (i.e., Global Preference Item, DID-PQ, 4 items selected from the 
MDDAB for each device).  
A content analysis approach will be used to analyze the responses collected on the pilot phase
interview questions.  This content analysis applies only to the pilot phase.  Responses will be 
examined to determine answers to the following questions for each device:

Are there any ways the device training could be easier or more clear?  If yes, 
please explain. 

Would you recommend any changes to the device training procedures?  If yes, 
please explain.

How much additional guidance is appropriate and useful during the device 
training?
During the pilot phase, the principal investigator and study team will be continuously monitoring 
the interview and data as they are collected to determine if changes need to be implemented 
immediately.  If major changes are required, Evidera and Lilly will determine if the pilot phase
sample size needs to be increased.  Upon conclusion of the pilot phase, Evidera study staff will 
send to Lilly a summary document of the pilot phase, which will serve as the interim analysis.  
The pilot phase data for an estimated 10 to 20 participants will not be included in the final 
sample of approximately 290 patients with T2DM.  
10.3.8. Interim Analyses


Provide instructional material to the study sites, as appropriate;

Sponsor start-up training to instruct the investigators and study coordinators.  This 
training will give instruction on all study recruitment procedures;

Be available for consultation and stay in contact with the study site personnel by 
mail, telephone, and/or fax;

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 53
LY2189265

Train Evidera staff to deliver the standardized trainings on both devices following 
the Interview and Device Training Guide (Appendix 12);

Review and evaluate Case Report Form (CRF) data and use standard computer 
edits to detect errors in data collection;

Conduct a quality review of the database.
Data collection will be conducted according to the protocol and will progress according to the 
study procedures previously outlined in Section 5.5.
At the time of enrollment, participants will be assigned unique identification numbers.  The 
unique identifiers assigned will be used to track the participants throughout the study.  Only the 
unique participant identification and participant initials will be entered into the database and 
recorded on the participant questionnaires—not participant names.
Participants will be assured of the confidential nature of the interview.  If, at any time, 
participants become uncomfortable with a question or the process, they will be given the option 
of terminating the study interview.  All interviews will take place in a quiet and private space to 
ensure confidentiality.  Evidera study staff will review all forms for completeness prior to 
concluding the study visit.  
Only Evidera staff for the pilot phase and both Evidera and the clinical site staff for the main 
phase involved in participant recruitment and data collection, will know the identity of the 
participants.  Study staff will be instructed to maintain complete confidentiality of all collected 
data.  For both study phases, trained Evidera interviewers and research support staff will observe 
the interviews, and have access only to de-identified data on the study CRFs.  Lilly employees 
may also observe some of the study interviews.  
Extensive procedures for the careful and complete collection of data will be implemented by the 
clinical sites and Evidera.  At the completion of each interview, study staff will check every page 
of each questionnaire to ensure that no items were unintentionally skipped.  Participant 
recruitment will be monitored on a regular basis throughout the study using tracking logs.  The 
Evidera Principal Investigator and Quality Assurance Analyst will be available for consultation 
regarding study implementation, recruitment, and any other queries throughout this process.
The study may be audited by Lilly or its representatives, and/or regulatory agencies at any time.  
Investigators will be given notice before an audit occurs.
The investigator will keep records of all original source data.  If requested, the investigator will 
provide the sponsor, applicable regulatory agencies, and applicable ERBs with direct access to 
original source documents.
Appendix 2.2.1.
Data Capture System
For data collection, Evidera will use DataFax, a data management system that relies on optical 
character recognition software, for collecting study data.  The CRFs for this study will be 
formatted for the DataFax system.  DataFax improves data quality through quality control reports 
and automatic queries, while increasing speed and efficiency of data collection.  When the data is 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 54
LY2189265
received, the system identifies any problems with the data, and queries are automatically 
generated.  Evidera will implement this data entry process and prepare the data verification 
guidelines.  
For both the pilot and main phase, Evidera will be responsible for the following:

Entering and cleaning all data collection forms in DataFax;

Storing all the original patient-completed CRFs.  Retaining records for a 
minimum of 2 years on-site and an additional 5 years off-site in storage;

Managing the completed data, performing quality checks, and merging all 
participant datasets;

Following good research practice guidelines; and

Adhering to all procedures outlined in the protocol.
Evidera will maintain the originals of all patient-completed CRFs and the clinical sites will 
maintain the originals of all site-completed CRFs.  However, for the main phase, sites will 
provide Evidera scanned copies of the Inclusion/Exclusion Forms in advance of all study 
interviews to confirm patients’ eligibility.  Sites will also provide Evidera scanned copies of the 
site-completed Clinical Information Forms.
Data from complaint forms submitted to Lilly will be encoded and stored in the global product 
complaint management system.

Pilot Phase Screening Script
Screening Script (Evidera) – Pilot Phase
My name is [XXXX], and I conduct research at Evidera, an independent healthcare research 
company.  Thank you for responding to our advertisement about the diabetes research study.
The goal of this interview study is to determine patient preferences for two type 2 diabetes 
treatment devices currently commercialized.  Your experience with type 2 diabetes can help us in 
this process.
If you qualify and choose to participate, you would be asked to attend a 90–120 minute 
individual, in-person interview with an Evidera researcher interviewer at [location].  You will 
not receive treatment with any drugs during this study. During the interview, you will be trained 
on how to use two injection devices that are currently commercialized.  You will be asked to 
perform mock injections using both devices on a pad, and then asked to complete a series of 
questionnaires related to your condition and the use of the devices.  The amount of time it takes 
for an interviewer to train you to use each device will be recorded.
The information that you provide in the interview will be kept as confidential as possible.  A 
study identification number will be assigned to the information you give and your name will be 
kept separate.
There are minimal risks to participating in the study because of being trained and performing 
mock injections on pads with devices.  For example, you could have an accidental needle stick
injury.  All interviewers have been trained on how to handle any issues that may arise from using 
the devices.  During all interviews, a medical professional (e.g., nurse or paramedic) will be on 
site in case of adverse events such as unanticipated needlesticks.  Participation is entirely 
voluntary.  You are free to withdraw from the study at any time. 
For your time and participation, you will receive <$ insert amount>, which will be given to you 
in the form of a Greenphire ClinCard that is used just like a credit card.
Would you be interested in participating?
  No - Thank him/her for his/her time and consideration.
  Yes - Continue with the script.
That’s great!  To find out if you are eligible to participate, I need to ask a few questions.  The 
information you give will be kept as confidential as possible.  You do not have to answer 
questions you do not want to, but that may disqualify you.

Main Phase Screening Script
Screening Script (Clinical Site) – Main Phase
The Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Form is a separate form but there are criteria that can be 
reviewed by the clinic site prior to contacting the patient. Before you introduce the research 
study to the patient please confirm using the patient’s medical chart:
1.
Patient is ≥18 years of age
  Confirmed
2.
Patient has been diagnosed with T2DM 
  Confirmed
3.
Patient is self-injection naïve to all injectable treatment (e.g., diabetes 
therapies and other medical conditions)
  Confirmed
4.
Patient is currently receiving oral treatment for their type 2 diabetes 
  Confirmed
Once all above criteria have been confirmed, please conduct recruitment with patient according 
to the following script.  Please complete the Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Form.
Hello, this is [name] from [clinic]. We are currently recruiting patients with type 2 diabetes to 
participate in a research study being conducted by Evidera, a health outcomes research 
organization. The goal of the interview study is to determine patient preferences for the type 2 
diabetes treatment devices currently commercialized.  
If you qualify and choose to participate, you would be asked to attend a 60-90 minute individual, 
in-person interview with an Evidera researcher at [location].  You will not receive treatment with 
any drugs during this study.  During the interview, you will be trained on how to use two 
injection devices currently commercialized.  You will be asked to perform mock injections using 
both devices on a pad, and then asked to complete a series of questionnaires related to your 
condition and the use of the devices.
[For Time-to-Train Participants:  The amount of time it takes for an interviewer to train you to 
use each device will be recorded.]  
The information that you provide in the interview will be kept as confidential as possible. A 
study identification number will be assigned to the information you give and your name will be 
kept separate.  The information you share during the interview will not be shared with your 
doctor, and will have no impact on the care that you receive or your ability to participate in 
future studies.
There are minimal risks to participating in the study because of the use of being trained and 
performing mock injections on pads with devices.  For example, you could have an accidental 
needle stick injury.  All interviewers have been trained on how to handle any issues that may 
arise from using the devices.  During all interviews, a medical professional (e.g., nurse or 
paramedic) will be on site in case of adverse events such as unanticipated needlesticks.  
Participation is entirely voluntary.  You are free to withdraw from the study at any time.

A. Time to Train
The observer should complete the TTT Observer Recording Sheet.
a.
Start of the training (i.e., after reading the IFU)
b. The participant picks up the device to start the mock injection. 
c.
The participant successfully injects the medication into the injection pad and removes the 
needle/device from the pad.
d. The Ozempic pen is recapped with the pen cap (the inner needle cap and outer needle cap 
should not be placed back on the pen).
e.
The participant has completed the injection and finished asking questions.  Participants 
comments/opinions about the device after completing the injection will not be included 
unless the participant asks a question. 
B. Safety Procedures
If the participant appears to be making an error that could lead to self-harm, the trainer should 
immediately intervene and stop the injection process.
C. Introduction
Introduce the device and training steps.

“Now, you will learn to use an injection device.”

“When you feel comfortable with the procedures for using the device, you will use the 
device to perform a mock injection into the injection pad.”

“You should NOT use this device to inject yourself.  You will only be injecting 
medication into this pad.”

“This is the Ozempic device.  This device is used to administer medication once a week, 
and you would typically use it at home.” (Show the device to the participant.)  
D. Device Training
1. Open the device box and place the IFU in front of the participant.
2. Instruct the participant to “Please read the Instructions for Use and let me know when you 
are finished.  After you are done reading, I will demonstrate all of these steps for you in 
detail.  You can also refer back to this document throughout the interview as much as you 
want.”

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 79
LY2189265
3. Demonstrate the injection process using the demo device. 
1. “The Ozempic device is a prefilled dial-a-dose pen.  You can select doses of 0.25 mg 
or 0.5 mg.  You will be selecting 0.25 mg for the injection today.”
2. “The needles for this device are enclosed in the package.” 
3. “Always use a new needle for each injection.”
4. Device parts
a.
“This is the pen cap.”
b. “This is the pen window.” 
c.
“This is the dose counter and dose pointer.” 
d. “This is the dose selector and the dose button.”
e.
“When you turn the dose selector, you will see the flow check symbol and the dashed 
line to guide to your dose (turn dose selector to show these symbols).  The flow check 
symbol comes right after the zero.”
f.
“The needle has an outer needle cap, inner needle cap, needle, and paper tab.”
5. Step 1: Prepare your pen with a new needle
a.
“If you were injecting, you would begin by washing your hands with soap and water. 
Since you are injecting a pad today, you do not need to wash your hands this time.”
b. “The next step is to check the name and colored label of your pen to make sure that 
it contains Ozempic.”
c.
“Then pull off the cap.”
d. “Check that the Ozempic in your pen is clear and colorless. Look through the pen 
window.  If the Ozempic is cloudy, do not use the pen.”
e.
“Take a new needle, and tear off the paper tab.”
f.
“Push the needle straight on to the pen.  Turn until it is on tight.”
g. “Pull off the outer needle cap.  You can put it in the sharps container.”

6. Step 2: Check the Ozempic flow with each new pen
a.
“Check the Ozempic flow before your first injection with each new pen.”
b. “Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows the flow check symbol.”
c.
“Hold the pen with the needle pointing up.  Press and hold in the dose button until 
the dose counter shows 0.  The 0 must be lined up with the dose pointer.  A drop of 
Ozempic will appear at the needle tip.  The medication may spray out a bit in some 
cases, so please point the tip away from your face and away from me.”
d. “If no drop appears, repeat these flow check steps up to six more times.  Do not use 
the pen if a drop of Ozempic still does not appear.”
7. Step 3: Select your dose
a.
“Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows your dose (0.25 mg).  If you 
select the wrong dose, you can turn the dose selector forward or backwards to the 
correct dose.” 
8. Step 4. Inject your dose
a.
“Choose your injection site.”
b. “Insert the needle into your skin [injection pad].”
c.
“Make sure you can see the dose counter.  Do not cover it with your fingers.  This 
could stop the injection.”
d. “Press and hold down the dose button until the dose counter shows 0.  The 0 must 
line up with the dose pointer.  You may then hear or feel a click.”
e.
“Keep the needle in your skin [injection pad] after the dose counter has returned to 
0 and count slowly to 6.”
f.
“If the needle is removed earlier, you may see a stream of Ozempic coming from the 
needle tip.  If this happens, the full dose will not be delivered.”
g. “Remove the needle from your skin [injection pad].”
9. Step 5. After your injection
a.
“Carefully twist the needle off of the pen.   Since we have a sharps container, 
please do not put the needle caps back on the needle to avoid needle sticks.”

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 81
LY2189265
b. “Place the needle in a sharps container right away.”
c.
“Put the pen cap on your pen after each use to protect Ozempic from light.”
4. Permit the participant to ask any questions they may have about the device or IFU.

“Do you have any questions about the steps involved in the injection process?”

“Do you feel ready to administer the mock injection? Is there anything you would like to 
review before trying it?”

When the patient is ready: “I will leave the instructions for use here, and you can refer to 
them as much as you like while you go through the injection process.  Please take all the 
time you need.”
5. Participant performs mock injection into the injection pad while trainer observes and 
evaluates injection success based on the critical steps listed below.
6. The mock injection will be considered complete when the patient has successfully performed 
all critical steps listed below and recapped the pen.  
7. If the participant is struggling to remove the needle and appears to be putting themselves at 
risk of an accidental needle stick, the interviewer should volunteer to remove the needle for 
them. 

“Would you like me to remove the needle for you?”
If the interviewer removes the needle, this should be recorded on the Interviewer Recording 
Sheet. 
8. If the participant does not dispose of the needle in the sharps container independently, the 
trainer should instruct the participant on disposal using the provided sharps container.

“Please place the needle in the sharps container.”
9. Ask the participant if they have any questions, and answer them.  The training is complete 
when there are no further questions.

F. Retraining
If the critical steps are not performed correctly on the first attempt, the participant should be 
retrained on critical steps that were missed or performed incorrectly.  The participant may have 
to repeat all or some of the injection process.  The error should be explained to the participant 
and the participant should be asked to make the correction and continue the injection process. 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 83
LY2189265
If the participant is making a mistake during the injection, you can call his or her attention to the 
mistake so that he or she can continue the injection correctly.  For example, if the participant is 
trying to do the flow check without removing the inner cap, tell him or her to remove the cap 
first. “It looks like the inner cap is still on.  Could you remove the inner cap before checking the 
flow?”

Protocol Amendment H9X-MC-B021(b) Summary Crossover Study 
Comparing the Dulaglutide (Trulicity) Pen and the Semaglutide (Ozempic) Pen
Overview
Protocol H9X-MC-B021(a) [Crossover Study Comparing the Dulaglutide (Trulicity) Pen and the Semaglutide (Ozempic) Pen] has 
been amended.  The new protocol is indicated by amendment (b) and will be used to conduct the study in place of any preceding 
version of the protocol.
Based on the results from pilot portion of the study, some scheduling, training, and administrative protocol elements have changed to 
reflect learnings from the pilot study.  
Changes to the protocol were made for the following reasons:

Sponsor decision to streamline study based on participant feedback
Minor editorial changes have also been made throughout the document.
The overall changes and rationale for the changes made to this protocol are described in the following table:
Amendment Summary for Protocol H9X-MC-B021 Amendment (b)
Section # and Name
Description of Change
Brief Rationale
Section 2, Synopsis Table 2.1
A break will be ‘offered’ to participants
Participants in the pilot study did not require a 
restroom or water break between device trainings. 
The break will be offered to participants, but it will 
be optional.
Section 2, Synopsis Table 2.1
Optional second interview break removed for main 
study
Participants in the pilot study did not need a break 
between device trainings and questionnaires. This 
second break will not be included in the main 
study, but participants will be permitted to take a 
break if they request it.

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 107
LY2189265
Section 3.5 Methods to Minimize Risks
Guidance was added on instructing participants to
use a study-provided sharps container rather than 
attempt to recap the semaglutide needle. 
A potential for needle stick was identified in the 
pilot study, as participants may have considered
recapping the needle. 
Section 5.5.4 Overview of study visit procedures 
for the main study
Video was removed
The video was removed from the main study 
procedures based on the results of the pilot 
study. The video was not necessary in addition to 
the interviewer demonstration.
Section 5.5.4 Overview of study visit procedures 
for the main study
Optional second interview break removed for main 
study
Participants in the pilot study did not need a break 
between device trainings and questionnaires. This 
second break will not be included in the main 
study, but participants will be permitted to take a 
break if they request it.
Section 5.5.4 Overview of study visit procedures 
for the main study
IFUs are provided to participants to read, and the 
interviewer will demonstrate how to use the 
device.
The participant should have the IFU available to 
read and review during the training, so additional 
text was added to help assure clarity on this point.
Section 5.5.4 Overview of study visit procedures 
for the main study
Maximum time for all study procedures was 
added.
90 minutes, as specified in the consent form
Section 9.1.2.6 Global Preference Item
The open ended response to explain reasons for 
device preference was changed from patient 
completed to interviewer completed. 
The results of the pilot study indicate that many 
patients are not able to write a clear response to 
this question. Participants are better able to 
articulate reasons for preference when speaking 
with the interviewer. Therefore, in the main study, 
the interviewer will ask the participant for the 
reasons for their device preference and record the 
reasons for the participant using quotations marks 
to capture the respondent’s exact words.
10.2 Populations for analysis
Video removed
Based on results of the pilot study, the video will 
not be used in the main study.
Appendix 12 Interview and Device Training 
Guides
Interview guides were updated to incorporate 
revisions made during the pilot study.
The interview guides were revised during the pilot 
study to streamline language, present training 
information clearly, and address issues identified 
during the pilot study.

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 108
LY2189265
Appendix 13 Time-to-Train Observer Recording 
Sheet
Training time points were revised and clarified, a 
field was added to capture the number of 
interventions.
The timing points for time to train were changed to 
capture time elapsed between start of training 
rather than time of day to increase accuracy by 
observer, time points were clarified for 
consistency, and number of interventions field was 
added based on pilot study observation that 
interviewers needed to intervene during mock 
injections.
Appendix 14 Demographic form
Subscripts removed
The subscripts are not necessary for data entry 
using the Evidera Datafax system. These 
subscripts were removed to simplify the form for 
participant completion.
Appendix 15 Interviewer Recording Sheet
Field added to capture interviewer assistance with 
Ozempic needle removal
Some participants are unable to remove the needle 
from the Ozempic device safely. In these cases, 
interviewers will offer to assist with needle 
removal to lower the risk of AEs.
Appendix 17 Global Preference Item
Item 2 changed from participant completed to 
interviewer completed.
The results of the pilot study indicate that many 
patients are not able to write a clear response to 
this question. Participants are better able to 
articulate reasons for preference when speaking 
with the interviewer. Therefore, in the main study, 
the interviewer will ask the participant for the 
reasons for their device preference and record the 
reasons for the participant using quotations marks 
to capture the respondent’s exact words.
Appendix 22 Clinical Information Form
Date reporting format changed to 
DDMMMYYYY
Change for consistency with other date reporting 
fields in the study and to remove an ambiguity in 
day and month reporting.
Appendix 22 Clinical Information Form
None added to item 3
None was added to permit a responses if a 
participant does not have any of the listed 
conditions.

3.5.  Methods to Minimize Risks
Training on both study devices will be provided by Evidera study staff based on the approved 
IFUs (Eli Lilly IFU 2017; Novo Nordisk IFU 2017).  Training for correct sharps 
handling/disposal is part of the study training, and no cross contamination is expected due to 
each participant receiving their own device, as well as injecting drug into a practice pad instead 
of themselves.  In order to minimize risk of accidental needle sticks, participants will not recap 
the semaglutide needle.  A sharps container will be available to permit participants to remove the 
semaglutide needle and dispose of it immediately, rather than recapping the needle for later 
disposal.  Participants will be instructed to place the outer needle cap in the sharps container 
once it is removed from the device so they do not have the temptation to recap, which was found 
to be a potential opportunity for accidental needle sticks during the pilot study.  Study staff will 
monitor the participant at all times in the room and intervene should a dangerous situation occur.  
Participants will be under direct supervision of the study interviewer when handling the devices.
5.5.4.  Overview of Study Visit Procedures for the Main Phase

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 110
LY2189265
Trained study interviewers will follow the study Interview and Device Training Guide 
(Appendix 12) to standardize the presentation of devices to participants and ensure that the 
training is clear and not biased in favor of either device.  Based on findings from the pilot phase, 
the finalized main phase training approach will be conducted with the patients for each device 
including a detailed demonstration by the interviewer.(for example, will include a combination 
of the following:  detailed demonstration by the interviewer, presentation of video 
demonstrations on tablets or laptops, and/or independent reading of the IFU).  The same 
standardized interview approach will be used for all of the main phase patients.  For each device, 
patients will be given the IFU and asked to read it.  Then the interviewer will demonstrate how to 
use the device.  Participants will perform mock injections on a practice pad after being trained in 
the use of each device.  Patients will have access to the IFU during the entire training and 
injection process.  If the participant does not complete one of the critical steps or if the steps are 
completed out of order, the Interview and Device Training Guide (Appendix 12) provides 
interviewers instructions for handling these situations.
5.5.4  Overview of Study Visit Procedures for the Main Phase
Once participants have attempted each device training and mock injection(s) on the practice pad, 
interviewers will complete the Interviewer Recording Sheet to document randomization order 
and if the patient was able to complete both device trainings (Appendix 15).  Next, participants 
will be offered an optional second break.  Participants will then be asked to complete 
questionnaires to report their preferences between the 2 devices.
5.5.4  Overview of Study Visit Procedures for the Main Phase
Main phase interview will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes including consenting and training 
in device procedures.  The maximum time for all study procedures is 90 minutes as specified in 
the consent form.  All main phase participants will be remunerated a specified amount between 
$100 and $150 (via Greenphire ClinCard) for their time and travel time to the study interview.
9.1.2.6.  Global Preference Item
All participants will complete the Global Preference Item after being trained and using both 
devices (Appendix 17).  Participants will be asked, “Overall, which device do you prefer?”  
Interviewers will then ask Pparticipants will also be asked to explain why they selected their 
response for Ozempic, Trulicity, or no preference.  The interviewer will transcribe the 
participant’s response using quotesation marks to capture the respondent’s exact words.  This 
item The Global Preference Item was developed specifically for use in this device preference 
multicenter crossover study.  To help participants remember the devices more accurately, colored 
images of the devices have been inserted into the questionnaire.
10.2.  Populations for Analyses
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 111
LY2189265
Population
Description
Randomized
Participants determined to be eligible and then assigned to one of 2 device 
order groups (50% will be randomized to use the dulaglutide device first, 
while the other half will use the semaglutide device first).  More details about 
randomization for this study are provided in Section 7.2.
Evaluable
Participants for whom device preference can be evaluated: Randomized 
participants who are exposed to both devices (i.e., participant was shown both 
devices via either video or demonstration, regardless of whether they 
successfully complete the training) and complete the Global Preference Item.
Withdrawn 
Participants who withdraw from the study before being exposed to both 
devices and completing the Global Preference item.  Details on study 
withdrawal are provided in Section 8.

questions S2 and S3.
Ozempic Training Guide
A. Time to Train
The observer should complete the TTT Observer Recording Sheet.
a.
Start of training (i.e., after reading the IFU)
b. The participant picks up the device to start the mock injection. 
c.
The participant successfully injects the medication into the injection pad and removes the 
needle/device from the pad. 
d. The Ozempic pen is recapped with the pen cap (the inner needle cap and outer needle cap 
should not be placed back on the pen). 
e.
The participant has completed the injection and finished asking questions.  Participants 
comments/opinions about the device after completing the injection will not be included 
unless the participant asks a question. 
B. Safety Procedures
If the participant appears to be making an error that could lead to self-harm, the trainer should 
immediately intervene and stop the injection process.
C. Introduction
Introduce the device and training steps.

“Now, you will learn to use an injection device.”

“When you feel comfortable with the procedures for using the device, you will use the 
device to perform a mock injection into the injection pad.”

“You should NOT use this device to inject yourself.  You will only be injecting 
medication into this pad.”

“This is the Ozempic device.  This device is used to administer medication once a week, 
and you would typically use it at home.” (Show the device to the participant.)  
D. Device Training
1. Open the device box and place the IFU in front of the participant. 

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 118
LY2189265
2. Instruct the participant to “Please read the Instructions for Use and let me know when you are 
finished.  After you are done reading, I will demonstrate all of these steps for you in detail.  
You can also refer back to this document throughout the interview as much as you want.”
3. Demonstrate the injection process using the demo device. 
1. “The Ozempic device is a prefilled dial-a-dose pen.  You can select doses of 0.25 mg 
or 0.5 mg.  You will be selecting 0.25 mg for the injection today.”
2. “The needles for this device are enclosed in the package.” 
3. “Always use a new needle for each injection.”
4. Device parts
a.
“This is the pen cap.”
b. “This is the pen window.” 
c.
“This is the dose counter and dose pointer.” 
d. “This is the dose selector and the dose button.”
e.
“When you turn the dose selector, you will see the flow check symbol and the dashed 
line to guide to your dose (turn dose selector to show these symbols).  The flow check 
symbol comes right after the zero.”
f.
“The needle has an outer needle cap, inner needle cap, needle, and paper tab.”
5. Step 1: Prepare your pen with a new needle
a.
“If you were injecting, you would begin by washing your hands with soap and water. 
Since you are injecting a pad today, you do not need to wash your hands this time.”
b. “The next step is to check the name and colored label of your pen to make sure that 
it contains Ozempic.”
c.
“Then pull off the cap.”
d. “Check that the Ozempic in your pen is clear and colorless. Look through the pen 
window.  If the Ozempic is cloudy, do not use the pen.”
e.
“Take a new needle, and tear off the paper tab.”

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 119
LY2189265
f.
“Push the needle straight on to the pen.  Turn until it is on tight.”
g. “Pull off the outer needle cap.  You can put it in the sharps container.”
h. “Pull off the inner needle cap, and throw it away.”
6. Step 2: Check the Ozempic flow with each new pen
a.
“Check the Ozempic flow before your first injection with each new pen.”
b. “Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows the flow check symbol.”
c.
“Hold the pen with the needle pointing up.  Press and hold in the dose button until 
the dose counter shows 0.  The 0 must be lined up with the dose pointer.  A drop of 
Ozempic will appear at the needle tip.  The medication may spray out a bit in some 
cases, so please point the tip away from your face and away from me.”
d. “If no drop appears, repeat these flow check steps up to six more times.  Do not use 
the pen if a drop of Ozempic still does not appear.”
7. Step 3: Select your dose
a.
“Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows your dose (0.25 mg).  If you 
select the wrong dose, you can turn the dose selector forward or backwards to the 
correct dose.”
8. Step 4. Inject your dose
a.
“Choose your injection site.”
b. “Insert the needle into your skin [injection pad].”
c.
“Make sure you can see the dose counter.  Do not cover it with your fingers.  This 
could stop the injection.”
d. “Press and hold down the dose button until the dose counter shows 0.  The 0 must 
line up with the dose pointer.  You may then hear or feel a click.”
e.
“Keep the needle in your skin [injection pad] after the dose counter has returned to 
0 and count slowly to 6.”
f.
“If the needle is removed earlier, you may see a stream of Ozempic coming from the 
needle tip.  If this happens, the full dose will not be delivered.”
g. “Remove the needle from your skin [injection pad].”

H9X-MC-B021(b) Clinical Protocol
Page 120
LY2189265
9. Step 5. After your injection
a.
“Carefully twist the needle off of the pen.   Since we have a sharps container, 
please do not put the needle caps back on the needle to avoid needle sticks.”
b. “Place the needle in a sharps container right away.”
c.
“Put the pen cap on your pen after each use to protect Ozempic from light.”
4. Permit the participant to ask any questions they may have about the device or IFU.

“Do you have any questions about the steps involved in the injection process?”

“Do you feel ready to administer the mock injection? Is there anything you would like to 
review before trying it?”

When the patient is ready: “I will leave the instructions for use here, and you can refer to 
them as much as you like while you go through the injection process.  Please take all the 
time you need.”
5. Participant performs mock injection into the injection pad while trainer observes and 
evaluates injection success based on the critical steps listed below.
6. The mock injection will be considered complete when the patient has successfully performed 
all critical steps listed below and recapped the pen.  
7. If the participant is struggling to remove the needle and appears to be putting themselves at 
risk of an accidental needle stick, the interviewer should volunteer to remove the needle for 
them. 

“Would you like me to remove the needle for you?”
If the interviewer removes the needle, this should be recorded on the Interviewer Recording 
Sheet. 
8. If the participant does not dispose of the needle in the sharps container independently, the 
trainer should instruct the participant on disposal using the provided sharps container.

“Please place the needle in the sharps container.”
9. Ask the participant if they have any questions, and answer them.  The training is complete 
when there are no further questions. 

“Do you have any questions?”

F. Retraining
If the critical steps are not performed correctly on the first attempt, the participant should be 
retrained on critical steps that were missed or performed incorrectly.  The participant may have 
to repeat all or some of the injection process.  The error should be explained to the participant 
and the participant should be asked to make the correction and continue the injection process. 
If the participant is making a mistake during the injection, you can call his or her attention to the 
mistake so that he or she can continue the injection correctly.  For example, if the participant is 
trying to do the flow check without removing the inner cap, tell him or her to remove the cap 
first. “It looks like the inner cap is still on.  Could you remove the inner cap before checking the 
flow?”
