Study design details

• Main study objective:
  Assess HCPs’ knowledge and understanding of the key information included in the Piqray Prescriber’s/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia, including: ; - Risk of hyperglycemia and its potential risk factors;; - Signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia; ; - Recommendations for monitoring for hyperglycemia prior to and during treatment with Piqray; ; - Recommendations for managing hyperglycemia during treatment with Piqray.
• Outcomes:
  A composite based on the percentages of HCPs with correct responses to questions in the composite regarding the information below. ; - Risk of hyperglycemia and its potential risk factors; ; - Signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia; ; - Recommendations for monitoring hyperglycemia prior to and during treatment with Piqray;; - Recommendations for managing hyperglycemia during treatment with Piqray; ; - Assess HCPs' reported levels of receipt, and reading, of the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia;; - Assess HCPs' knowledge levels for each survey question regarding knowledge of, and management of, hyperglycemia; ; - Assess the primary source from which HCPs learned about the messages included in the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia.
• Data analysis plan:
  Survey details (e.g. number of invited HCPs, number and percentage of responding HCPs, number and percentage of eligible vs. ineligible HCPs, and number and percentage of HCPs with partially vs. fully completed surveys) and analysis sets were described overall and by country Respondent characteristics/covariates were summarized overall and by country. ; Frequencies, percentages, and corresponding 95% 2-sided CI were used to summarize primary and secondary endpoints overall and by country. ; For the primary endpoint, the point estimate of the weighted average composite percentage of HCPs who provide correct responses to key questions was estimated and assessed against the 70% threshold.
• Summary results:
  In this study, success criteria on the primary endpoint is defined as a weighted composite knowledge level of at least 70% across key questions. ; This endpoint was designed to assess overall knowledge retention and comprehension among Health Care Professionals. ; Overall, a composite score of 81.3% (95% CI: 79.1-83.4) was achieved by Health Care Professionals, thereby meeting the primary objective.
