What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of Exenatide on postprandial glucose

    To compare the effect of exenatide to that of sitagliptin on 2-hour postprandial glucose in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of effect of exenatide to the effect of sitagliptin the acetaminophen absorption test, and 6-point self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) profiles

    To compare the effect of exenatide to the effect of sitagliptin on the following endpoints in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus: postprandial glucose, insulin, insulin secretion rate, glucagon, and triglycerides; gastric emptying, as assessed by the acetaminophen absorption test, and 6-point self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) profiles

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing exenatide and sitagliptin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 19 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 9 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 26 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Effect of Exenatide on postprandial glucose (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT00477581, 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 26 Aug 2015.
