About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study of the Safety of Substituting Exenatide for Insulin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Been Using Insulin in Combination With Oral Antidiabetic Therapy

This study will look at the safety of substituting exenatide for insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are currently taking insulin and oral antidiabetic agent(s).

Read the detailed description

This is an exploratory, multicenter, open-label, 2-arm, parallel trial. Approximately 30 patients with type 2 diabetes, currently on a sulfonylurea, or meglitinide and/or metformin and insulin therapy, will be randomized to discontinue insulin and substitute it with exenatide or remain on their current diabetes therapy regimen. All patients will continue their current diet and exercise regimen during the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing exenatide and Insulin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 5 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from Baseline to Week 16 (time frame: Baseline, Week 16). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00099333, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2015.
