- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of EXSCEL will be to evaluate the effect of exenatide once weekly (EQW), used in addition to the current usual care for glycemic control, on major macrovascular events when administered to patients with type 2 diabetes.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of EXSCEL are to evaluate the effect of EQW treatment used in addition to the current usual care for glycemic control on:<br>(1) All cause mortality<br>(2) Each of the components of the primary composite CV endpoint<br>(3) Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS)<br>(4) Hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF);Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Time to first confirmed CV event in the primary composite CV endpoint. Defined as the time from randomization to first confirmed CV-related death, nonfatal MI or nonfatal stroke.<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1360 patients with positively adjudicated primary endpoint events have been accrued
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: <br>- Time to all-cause mortality. Defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause.<br>- Time to first confirmed CV event for each component of the primary composite endpoint. <br>- Time to hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome. <br>- Time to hospitalization for heart failure. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1360 patients with positively adjudicated primary endpoint events have been accrued
