Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the anti-exenatide-antibody response to exenatide re-exposure as measured by anti-exenatide antibodies and incidence of treatment-emergent allergy and hypersensitivity reactions following a period of treatment interruption, in patients previously exposed to exenatide.

Clinical Details

Official title: An Exploratory Study of the Effect of Treatment Interruption on Safety of Exenatide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Study design: Treatment, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: To assess anti-exenatide-antibody response to exenatide re-exposure as measured by antibodies and incidence of allergy and hypersensitivity reactions following a period of treatment interruption, in patients previously exposed to exenatide.

Secondary outcome: To evaluate the impact of anti-exenatide antibodies on patients' safety and efficacy, as assessed by the following: *Incidence of the adverse events; *Change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

Eligibility
