Background: Exenatide therapy is effective in combination with metformin or sulfonylureas for treating type 2 diabetes. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) also are commonly used, but the efficacy of exenatide with a TZD has not been reported.Objective: To compare the effects of exenatide versus placebo on glycemic control.Design: Placebo run-in, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted from May 2004 to August 2005.Setting: 49 sites in Canada, Spain, and the United States.Patients: 233 (exenatide group, n = 121; placebo group, n = 112) patients with type 2 diabetes that was suboptimally controlled with TZD treatment (with or without metformin). Mean ( SE) baseline glycated hemoglobin A(1c) level was 7.9% +/- 0.1 %.Interventions: Subcutaneous abdominal injections of 10 mu g of exenatide or placebo twice daily, added to a TZD (with or without metformin) for 16 weeks.Measurements: The primary outcome was change from baseline in hemoglobin A(1c) level. Other outcomes were fasting serum glucose level, body weight, self-monitored blood glucose level, and any adverse events.Results: Exenatide treatment reduced hemoglobin A,c level (mean difference, -0.98% [95% Cl, -1.21% to -0.74%]), serum fasting glucose level (mean difference, -1.69 mmol/L [-30.5 mg/dL] [Cl, -2.22 to -1.17 mmol/L {-40.0 to -21.1 mg/dL}]), and body weight (mean difference, -1.51 kg [Cl, -2.15 to -0.88 kg]). Sixteen percent of patients in the exenatide group and 2% of patients in the placebo group discontinued treatment because of adverse events. In the exenatide group, 40% (n = 48) of patients experienced nausea (mostly mild [n = 21] or moderate In = 19]), 13% experienced vomiting, and 11% experienced hypoglycemia. in the placebo group, 15% of patients experienced nausea, 1 % experienced vomiting, and 7% experienced hypoglycemia.Limitations: Combinations with TZDs and sulfonylureas were not tested. Trial duration was relatively short. Only 71 % and 86% of patients in the exenatide and placebo groups, respectively, completed the study.Conclusions: Exenatide therapy improved glycemic control, reduced body weight, and caused gastrointestinal symptoms more than placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes that was suboptimally controlled with TZD therapy.
