Registry summary

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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by progressive deterioration in the function of the pancreatic beta-cells, which are the cells that produce and secrete insulin (the hormone primarily responsible for the handling of glucose in the body). The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to determine whether combining basal insulin with a new medication called exenatide is a therapeutic strategy that can preserve beta-cell function early in the course of type 2 diabetes.

Interventions

  • Basal insulin and exenatideDrug
  • Basal insulin onlyDrug
  • Basal insulin and bolus insulinDrug

Arms3

  • Experimental

    Basal insulin and exenatide

    Participants in this arm will undergo an 8-week course of treatment with exenatide and insulin glargine. Exenatide will be initiated at 5ug subcutaneous (sc) bid (before breakfast and before dinner) for the first 4 weeks, followed by 10ug bid for the next 4 weeks. Glargine sc injection at bedtime will be titrated to fasting glucose.

  • Active comparator

    Basal insulin only

    Participants in this arm will undergo an 8-week course of treatment with glargine sc injection at bedtime, titrated to target fasting glucose.

  • Active comparator

    Basal Insulin and bolus insulin

    Participants in this arm will undergo an 8-week course of multiple daily insulin injection therapy, consisting of titrated basal insulin glargine at bedtime and insulin lispro before each meal.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Mean beta-cell function over the 8-week treatment period, measured using the Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 (ISSI-2)

    Time frame · 8 weeks

    Registry description

    ISSI-2 is an established measure of beta-cell function. ISSI-2 is defined as the product of (i) insulin secretion measured by the ratio of the area-under-the-insulin-curve to the area-under-the-glucose curve and (ii) insulin sensitivity measured by the Matsuda index. The primary outcome comparison is between the glargine/exenatide and glargine only arms.

Secondary outcomes(4)
  1. Baseline-adjusted beta-cell function at 20 weeks

    Time frame · 20 weeks

    Registry description

    The secondary outcome of baseline-adjusted beta-cell function at 20 weeks will be measured with the Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 (ISSI-2)

  2. Baseline-adjusted glycemic control at 20 weeks

    Time frame · 20 weeks

    Registry description

    The secondary outcome of baseline-adjusted glycemic control at 20 weeks will be assessed by A1c (glycated hemoglobin)

  3. Endothelial function at 8 weeks

    Time frame · 8 weeks

    Registry description

    Endothelial function will be assessed as the digital endothelial vasomotor function in response to reactive hyperemia using pulse amplitude tonometry, which will be measured by the pulse amplitude response to hyperemia (PAT ratio)

  4. Baseline-adjusted glycemic control at 8 weeks

    Time frame · 8 weeks

    Registry description

    Baseline-adjusted glycemic control at 8 weeks will be measured by A1c
