What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of exenatide long-acting release (LAR) administered weekly by subcutaneous (SC) injection in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)

    Time frame: Time intervals: 0 min to 12 hours on Day 1 for a duration of 12 hours, from Day 1; 0 mininutes to Week 1 for a duration of 168 hours, and from Week 14 to Week 15 for a duration of 168 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Examine the effect on various pharmacodynamic parameters of exenatide LAR administered weekly by subcutaneous injection in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

    Time frame: Various time intervals from Day 1 to Week 15

  2. Change in HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) from Baseline to Week 15 and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination (Week 27).

    Change in HbA1c from baseline Visit 3 (Day -3) to Visit 25 (Week 15) and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination.

    Time frame: Day -3, Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 27

  3. Change in fasting glucose concentrations from Baseline to Week 15 and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination (Week 27)

    Change in fasting glucose concentrations from baseline Visit 3 (Day -3) to Visit 25 (Week 15) and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination

    Time frame: Day -3, Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 27

  4. Change in body weight from Baseline to Week 15 and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination (Week 27)

    Change in body weight (kg) from baseline Visit 3 (Day -3) to Visit 25 (Week 15) and to each intermediate visit where applicable, and to study termination

    Time frame: Day -3, Day 1, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 27

  5. Change in seven-point glucose concentrations from Baseline to Week 14 and Week 15
