    Summary
    Exenatide once weekly plus dapagliflozin reduced HbA1c and body weight across all subgroups: least-squares mean reductions ranged from -8.4 to -26.1 mmol/mol (-0.77% to -2.39%) for HbA1c and from -2.07 to -4.55 kg for body weight.

    In T2DM, a potential treatment-by-age interaction was found for HbA1c change, but the small number of patients aged ≥65 years limited interpretation.

    In plain wordsIn diabetes, age may have changed how blood sugar responded to treatment, but few older patients limited what the data can show.

    Summary · context
    Age subgroup analysis findings were not consistent with expected mechanistic effects, with the small number of patients aged ≥65 years (n = 74 vs n = 499 for patients aged <65 years) limiting the interpretability of the interaction term.

    In this study, Exenatide (exendin-4) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Exenatide (exendin-4).
