Exeantide in Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01154933
Lead Sponsor
University at Buffalo
Brief Summary

Exenatide has been shown to result in better glycemic control in type II diabetes patients. Obesity and diabetes are states of increased inflammation; exenatide is expected to lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of Exenatide to diabetic patients will reduce the requirements of insulin particularly the short acting insulin. Exenatide may also lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss, or an independent effect.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fasting Insulinafter 24 hours fast at baseline and 12 weeks

To compare the fasting insulin level at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Weightvalue at 12 weeks minus value at baseline

To compare the body weight at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients

HbA1cvalue at 12 weeks minus value at baseline

To compare the HbA1c at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.

Intranuclear NFκB Binding Activitymeasured after 6 hours of a single dose of placebo or exenatide treatment for value measured at 12 weeks minus baseline

Measured by a gel shift assay showing the NFKB and Oct-1 binding to the doublestranded oligonucleotide containing the NFKB DNA binding site in Exenatide group and placebo group
