What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the pharmacokinetics of exenatide

    To assess pharmacokinetics of exenatide by measuring peak plasma time, time to peak concentration, terminal elimination half-life, apparent elimination time constant, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, and area under concentration curve.

    Measured: Three day-long (8 hour) assessments over a 5-week period

  2. To assess the pharmacodynamics of exenatide

    To assess the pharmacodynamics of exenatide by measuring plasma glucose, serum insulin, and plasma glucagon: absolute and incremental area under the curve 0-3 hours), absolute and incremental area under the curve (0-6 hours), areas under the concentration-time curve (0-6 h), peak plasma contration, and time to peak concentration.

    Measured: Three day-long (8 hour) assessments over a 5-week period

  3. Number of adverse events

    Adverse events will be assessed at all visits after the Screening Visit [Visit 2 (first time subject is dosed) through Visit 4 (study termination)]. All events assessed with special attention to changes in vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory values

    Measured: Visit 2 through Visit 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of 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 9 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?

To assess the pharmacokinetics of exenatide (time frame: Three day-long (8 hour) assessments over a 5-week period). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00254254, 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.
