    Evaluation of Exenatide in Patients With Diabetic Neuropathy

    NCT00855439

    Jun 2008 to May 2014

Registry summary

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

This study will look at whether or not the medication exenatide improves signs and symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in people with type 2 diabetes and mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Interventions

  • ExenatideDrug
  • GlargineDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Exenatide

    Subjects will take exenatide by subcutaneous injection twice daily for 18 months

  • Active comparator

    glargine

    Subjects will take 1 daily injection of insulin glargine for 18 months.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Confirmed Clinical Neuropathy (CCN)

    Time frame · 18 Months

    Registry description

    CCN was defined by a composite score comprised of at least two positive responses among symptoms, sensory signs, or absent or hypoactive reflexes consistent with a distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (16), and at least one abnormal nerve conduction study result in two anatomically distinct nerves, e.g. the sural sensory and peroneal motor nerves (defined as a amplitude \< 5 μV and a conduction velocity \< 40 m/sec for the sural nerve and an amplitude \< 2.5 μV and a conduction velocity \< 40 m/sec for the peroneal nerve).

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN)

    Time frame · 18 months

    Registry description

    Group differences in E/I ratio, a measure of cardiac autonomic function.

  2. Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy

    Time frame · 18 month

    Registry description

    resting heart rate as marker of autonomic function at rest

Adverse events, as posted

Adverse events as posted: participants affected out of participants at risk, by group
GroupDeathsSerious eventsOther events
ExenatideSubjects will take exenatide by subcutaneous injection twice daily for 18 months Exenatide: Exenatide is given according to current FDA prescribing guidelines. Exenatide and other diabetes medications will be titrated in order to achieve optimal blood glucose levels–6 / 229 / 22
GlargineSubjects will take 1 daily injection of insulin glargine for 18 months. Glargine: Subjects will take 1 daily injection of insulin glargine in manner consistent with current prescribing guidelines. Glargine and other diabetes medications will be adjusted to achieve optimal levels of blood sugar control–8 / 2419 / 24
