- Registration Number
- NCT00753896
- Lead Sponsor
- AstraZeneca
- Brief Summary
This study will examine the safety of exenatide once weekly (2.0 mg) in approximately 134 patients receiving treatment with thiazolidinedione alone or thiazolidinedione in combination with metformin. Patients are expected to be treated with exenatide once weekly for at least 52 weeks.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients Experiencing Adverse Events Baseline to Week 52 Percentage of patients experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events over 52 weeks
Assessment of Event Rate of Treatment-Emergent Hypoglycemic Events Baseline to Week 52 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. Mean event rate = total number of events for all subjects in a treatment regimen / the total number of subject years of exposure for all subjects in that treatment. Standard error = square root of (total number of events / (subject years of exposure)\*\*2).
