Summary

This study is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide plus oral antidiabetic (OAD) agents and twice-daily placebo plus OAD with respect to glycemic control.

Clinical Details

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Exenatide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Using Metformin or Sulfonylureas and Metformin

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: To test the hypothesis that exenatide (before morning and evening meals) produces a greater decrease in HbA1c than placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control taking metformin alone or metformin and sulfonylureas.

Secondary outcome: To compare exenatide and placebo groups with respect to: *safety and tolerability; *proportion of patients achieving HbA1c<=7%; *body weight; *incidence and rate of hypoglycemic events; *glucose measurements
