A Study Comparing Exenatide With Basal Insulin in Achieving a Target HbA1c With Minimum Weight Gain in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00360334
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

This is a phase 3 trial designed to compare the effects of twice daily exenatide plus oral antidiabetic agents (OADs) and once-daily insulin glargine plus OADs with respect to glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c, with minimum weight gain, in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on OADs.
