Baseline-to-endpoint HbA1c changes (%) were +0.02 +/- 0.1 (placebo), -0.9 +/- 0.1 (2.5 microg), -1.2 +/- 0.1 (5 microg), and -1.4 +/- 0.1 (10 microg) (all p < 0.001 vs. placebo).

This study assessed the dose-dependent efficacy and safety of exenatide over 12 weeks in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes suboptimally controlled despite therapeutic doses of sulfonylurea (SU), SU plus biguanide, or SU plus thiazolidinedione.
Patients were randomly assigned to placebo (N = 40), 2.5 microg (N = 38), 5 microg (N = 37), or 10 microg (N = 38) exenatide administered subcutaneously twice daily (BID).
Patients randomly assigned to 10 microg exenatide received 5 microg BID for the first 4 weeks, with the dose escalated to 10 microg BID for the final 8 weeks.
