Safety and Efficacy of Exenatide Once Weekly Versus Liraglutide in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Collaborator:	Eli Lilly and Company
Information provided by:	Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT01029886

Purpose

No head to head comparisons between exenatide once weekly and liraglutide have been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with regard to HbA1c, body weight, subject-reported outcomes, and other clinical benefits. The study includes a 26-week treatment period and a safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after the final study drug dose.

To compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with respect to change in body weight [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with respect to serum lipids (total cholesterol [TC], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], fasting triglycerides [TG], calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C]) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with respect to safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with respect to hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with respect to change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
Have suboptimal glycemic control as evidenced by an HbA1c measurement at study start between 7.1% and 11.0%, inclusive
Have a body mass index (BMI) ≤45 kg/m^2
Have been treated with lifestyle modification (diet and exercise) and with one of the following single oral antidiabetic agents (OADs) or combinations of OADs administered at maximum tolerated dose:
- metformin
- SU
- metformin plus an SU
- metformin plus pioglitazone

Exclusion Criteria:

Have any contraindication, allergy, or hypersensitivity for the study drug (exenatide once weekly or liraglutide), exenatide twice daily, the OAD(s) being used, or the excipients contained in these agents
If taking metformin and have a contraindication to metformin use
Have been treated within 8 weeks of study start with systemic glucocorticoid therapy by oral, intravenous, intra-articular, or intramuscular route
Have been treated with drugs that promote weight loss (e.g., Xenical® [orlistat], Meridia® [sibutramine], Acomplia® [rimonabant], Acutrim® [phenylpropanolamine], or similar over-the-counter medications) within 3 months of study start
Have taken any of the following excluded medications for more than 1 week within the 3 months prior to study start, or have taken any of the following excluded medications within 1 month prior to study start:
- Insulin
- Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g., Glyser® [miglitol] or Precose® [acarbose])
- Meglitinides (e.g., Prandin® [repaglinide] or Starlix® [nateglinide])
- Avandia® (rosiglitazone)
- Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors (e.g., Januvia™ [sitagliptin], Galvus® [vildagliptin], Onglyza™ [saxagliptin])
- Symlin® (pramlintide acetate)
Have donated blood within 30 days prior to study start or have had a blood transfusion or severe blood loss within 3 months prior to study start
Have at any time, including a clinical trial, taken exenatide once weekly, exenatide twice daily, liraglutide, or any other GLP-1 receptor agonist or GLP-1 analog
Are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 3 months or longer if required by local guidelines, from a clinical trial involving use of an investigational drug or device, or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study
Have previously been screen-failed from this study for any reason
If a subject discontinues metformin, sulfonylurea, or pioglitazone prior to screening, the subject can be included if they discontinued the medication (whether alone or as component of combined medication) according to a specific schedule.
