What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • exenatide/insulin glargineDrug

    Also called Byetta, AC2003, syntheitc exenden-4

    Subcutaneously injected exenaide 10 mcg twice daily for 16 weeks; then insulin glargine subcutaneously injected once daily for 16 weeks given in a dose that varies for individuals to achieve target glucose levels

  • insulin glargine/exenatideDrug

    Also called Byetta, AC2993, synthetic exenden-4

    Subcutaneously injected insulin glargine subcutaneously injected once daily for 16 weeks given in a dose that varies for individuals to achieve target glucose levels; then exenaide 10 mcg twice daily for 16 weeks

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from the baseline of the first period (16-weeks of exenatide or insulin) to the end of each 16-week period.

    Change in HbA1c from Baseline to the end of each 16-week period. There is one 16-week period of exenatide treatment and one 16-week period of insulin glargine.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16, Week 32

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in patient-reported outcomes from Baseline to the end of each 16-week period

    Change in patient-based outcomes (Hypoglycemic Fear Survey, patient-preference questionnaires [Treatment Evaluation and Treatment Preference questionnaires), Diabetes Symptom Checklist-Revised, Diabetes Treatment Flexibility Scale, Psychological General Well-Being Index, and the EuroQol (EQ-5D) instrument] from Baseline to the end of each 16-week exenatide or insulin glargine period

    Measured: Baseline, Week 16, Week 32

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing exenatide/insulin glargine and insulin glargine/exenatide in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 26 sites in 6 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 26 sites in Italy, Australia, Hungary, Mexico, Greece and 1 more country. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 the baseline of the first period (16-weeks of exenatide or insulin) to the end of each 16-week period. (time frame: Baseline, Week 16, Week 32). 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 NCT00099619, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
