What is being measured

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

  1. Time-averaged serum glucose during a 24-hour period

    Time-averaged serum glucose during a 24-hour period

    Measured: Every half-hour to hour for 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare the effects of exenatide and placebo on serum glucose

    To compare the effects of exenatide and placebo on serum glucose measured as averaged daytime glucose, averaged nighttime glucose, time-averaged postprandial glucose 2 hours after each meal, time-averaged postprandial glucose 4 hours after each meal, 2-hour postprandial glucose averaged across morning and evening meals, and averaged across the three meals, and fluctuation evaluations

    Measured: Each half-hour to 2 hours for 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing exenatide in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 2 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 2 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Time-averaged serum glucose during a 24-hour period (time frame: Every half-hour to hour for 24 hours). 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 NCT00241423, 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.
