    Effect of Exenatide Plus Metformin vs. Insulin Aspart Plus Metformin on Glycemic Control and Hypoglycemia in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

    NCT00434954

    Feb 2007 to Jun 2009

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

This study in Germany is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide plus metformin and twice-daily premixed human insulin aspart plus metformin with respect to glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c, combined with the percentage of patients with at least one treatment-emergent hypoglycemic episode. Patients will be treated with study therapy for approximately 26 weeks.

    Registry description

    7-point self-monitored blood glucose profiles at baseline and the end of the study, measured at 7 times during the day (pre-breakfast, 2 hours post-breakfast, pre-lunch, 2 hours post-lunch, pre-dinner, 2 hours post-dinner, and 3:00am).

  6. Blood Lipid Levels

    Time frame · Baseline and 26 weeks

    Registry description

    Total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculated), and triglyceride levels at baseline (week 0) and the end of the study (week 26)

  7. Change in Body Weight

    Time frame · Baseline and 26 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in body weight from baseline after 26 weeks of treatment (i.e., body weight at week 26 minus body weight at week 0)

  8. Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)

    Time frame · Baseline and 26 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in BMI from baseline after 26 weeks of treatment (i.e., BMI at week 26 minus BMI at week 0)

  9. Patient Reported Outcomes: Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ)

    Time frame · Baseline and 26 weeks

    Registry description

    Total DTSQ treatment satisfaction score at baseline (week 0) and after 26 weeks of treatment (LOCF). Total DTSQ treatment satisfaction score is derived as sum score of the individual components 1 and 4-8 of the DTSQ questionnaire. Each component is scored on a scale of 0 (worst case) to 6 (best case). Higher values represent higher treatment satisfaction.

  10. Patient Reported Outcomes: Quality of Life (SF-12)

    Time frame · Baseline and 26 weeks

    Registry description

    SF-12 Physical and Mental Component Summary Scores at baseline (week 0) and after 26 weeks of treatment (LOCF). SF-12 Physical and Mental Component Summary Scores are normalized scores ranging from 0 (worst case) to 100 (best case), and are derived from responses to 12 questions. Scores \> 50 indicate an above-average health status.
