    Safety and Efficacy of Exenatide Once Weekly Versus Liraglutide in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

    NCT01029886

    Jan 2010 to Apr 2011

Registry summary

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

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.

  6. Ratio of Fasting Triglycerides at Week 26 to Baseline

    Time frame · Baseline, Week 26

    Registry description

    Ratio of fasting triglycerides (measured in mmol/L) treatment endpoint at Week 26 to baseline. Log(Postbaseline fasting triglycerides) - log(Baseline fasting triglycerides); change from baseline to the treatment endpoint at Week 26 is presented as ratio of Week 26 to baseline.

  7. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From Baseline to Week 26

    Time frame · Baseline, Week 26

    Registry description

    Change in SBP from baseline to the treatment endpoint at Week 26.

  8. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From Baseline to Week 26

    Time frame · Baseline, Week 26

    Registry description

    Change in DBP from baseline to the treatment endpoint at Week 26.

  9. Assessment of Event Rate of Treatment-emergent Hypoglycemic Events

    Time frame · Baseline to Week 26

    Registry description

    Major hypoglycemia: any episode with symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia that resulted in loss of consciousness or seizure with prompt recovery in response to administration of glucagon or glucose OR documented hypoglycemia (blood glucose \<3.0 mmol/L \[54 mg/dL\]) and required the assistance of another person. Minor hypoglycemia: any sign or symptom associated with hypoglycemia that is either self-treated by the patient or resolves on its own AND has a concurrent finger stick blood glucose \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL) and not classified as major hypoglycemia. Event rate per subject year was calculated for each subject: (number of events observed from a subject/exposure from a subject)\*365.25 where exposure = last post-baseline visit date - baseline visit date. Mean and Standard Error were then derived from ITT.
