Inclusion Criteria
  • Have suboptimal glycaemic control as evidenced by an HbA1c 7.1% to 10.0%, inclusive
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 to 45 kg/m2, inclusive
  • Are receiving metformin at a stable dose (consistent with country specific requirements) of a minimum of 1000mg for at least 3 months prior to start start OR are receiving metformin at a minimum dose (consistent with country specific requirements) of 1000mg and sulphonylurea (as separate medications not as a fixed dose combination) at stable doses for 3 months prior to study start
Exclusion Criteria
  • Have any contraindication for the OAD that they have been using
  • Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to insulin detemir, exenatide or excipients contained in these agents
  • Have been treated within 4 weeks of screening with systemic glucocorticoid therapy by oral, intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) route, or are regularly treated with potent, inhaled intranasal steroids that are known to have a high rate of systemic absorption. Exceptions to this criterion include patients who are receiving glucocorticoid therapy for corticotropic hypopituitary deficiency (e.g. Addison disease)
  • Have been treated with drugs that promote weight loss, within 3 months of screening
  • Have been treated for longer than 2 weeks with any of the following excluded medications within 3 months prior to screening: insulin, alpha-glucosidase, Byetta® (exenatide BID formulation), thiazolidinediones (TZD), dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors
  • Have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating exenatide QW
  • Have received treatment within the last 30 days with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry
  • Are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 30 days from, a clinical trial involving an off-label use of an investigational drug or device (other than the study drug/device used in this study), or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients Achieving Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Concentration ≤7.0% With Weight Loss (≥1.0 kg) at Endpoint (Week 26)Baseline, Week 26

The primary endpoint is the percentage of patients achieving HbA1c concentration ≤7.0% with weight loss (≥1.0 kg) at endpoint. The last post-baseline measurement set of both non-missing HbA1c concentration and weight (measured at the same time point, i.e. visit) is used as endpoint value. Patients who do not have a baseline weight measurement, have a protocol violation of baseline HbA1c \<=7.0%, and/or have missing post-baseline measurements for HbA1c concentration and/or weight, are included in the analysis as non-responders regarding the primary objective.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Patients Who Have Achieved HbA1c ≤7.4% With Weight Loss (≥1.0 kg) at Endpoint (Week 26)Baseline, Week 26

Percentage of patients who have achieved HbA1c ≤7.4% with weight loss (≥1.0 kg) at endpoint (Week 26)

Hypoglycemia Rate Per YearBaseline, Week 26

All confirmed hypoglycemia episodes defined as either minor (any time a patient feels that he or she is experiencing a sign or symptom associated with hypoglycaemia and blood glucose (BG) \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL)) or major (any hypoglycaemic episode with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia, resulting in loss of consciousness or seizure, and shows prompt recovery in response to administration of glucagon or glucose, or BG measurement \< 3.0mmol/L is available and the patient is not capable of self-treating were taken into account.
