OBJECTIVE - AC2993 (synthetic exendin-4; exenatide) is a peptide that enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppresses inappropriately elevated glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying. AC2993 also promotes P-cell proliferation and neogenesis in vitro and in animal models. This study examines the activity and safety of subcutaneously injected AC2993 in patients with type 2 diabetes currently treated With diet and/or oral antidiabetic agents (OAAs).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total of 109 patients treated with diet and a sulfonylurea and/or metformin were enrolled in a blinded study. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three subcutaneously (SC) injected regimens of AC2993 (0.08 mug/kg) or placebo for 28 days.RESULTS - All three AC2993 regimens led to significant reductions in serum fructosamine relative to placebo (P less than or equal to 0.004). Mean reductions ranged from 39 to 46 mumol/l. All AC2993 groups had reductions in HbA(1c) ranging from 0.7 to 1.1% (P less than or equal to 0.006). An end-of-study HbA(1c)
