The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that glycemic control, as measured by change in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint, with exenatide is superior to that of placebo after 28 weeks of treatment in adolescent patients with type 2 diabetes who are naïve to antidiabetes agents, or patients who are being treated with metformin, an SU, or a combination of metformin and an SU

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 28

    Change from baseline in HbA1c is reported as adjusted least square (LS) mean values at Week 28. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. A mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

  2. Number of Participants With Post-Treatment Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) During Safety Follow-up Period

    Post-treatment adverse events (AEs) were defined as AEs that started or worsened during the off-treatment period (Safety Follow-up Period), which was defined as the day after the Week 28/early discontinuation (ED) visit to the date of completion of the Safety Follow-up Period. The AESIs recorded were as follows: hematological malignancies, thyroid neoplasms, pancreas neoplasms, aplastic anemia, pancreatitis, pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes (including congenital anomalies).

    Measured: From 1 day after the Week 28/ED visit to 3 years after Week 28/ED visit.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c Goals of < 7%, <= 6.5%, and < 6.5% Through Week 28

    The percentage of participants achieving HbA1c goals of < 7%, <= 6.5%, and < 6.5% through Week 28 were compared between treatments using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) procedure, in which screening HbA1c strata and background diabetes therapy strata served as the stratification factors. The CMH analysis excluded measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation with missing data treated as non-responder.

    Measured: Weeks 0, 4, 12, 20 and 28

  2. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Body Weight Through Week 28

    Change from baseline in body weight is reported as adjusted LS mean values at Weeks 4, 12, 20 and 28. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. A MMRM analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 28

  3. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Glucose (FSG) at Week 28

    Change from baseline in FSG is reported as adjusted LS mean values at Week 28. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

  4. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) at Week 28

    Change from baseline in SMBG measurements are reported as adjusted LS mean values at Week 28. SMBG measurements were taken before (pre-prandial) and 2 hours after (post-prandial) the 2 main meals of the day on 3 separate days during the week before baseline (Day 1) and Week 28. Post-prandial excursions were calculated as the difference between the pre-prandial and post-prandial blood glucose concentrations (post-prandial - pre-prandial) and averaged (mean) over the 2 main meals over the 3 separate days in each period. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. An ANCOVA analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Pre-meal and 2 hours post-meal on Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

  5. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Fasting Serum Insulin at Week 28

    Change from baseline in fasting serum insulin is reported as adjusted LS mean values at Week 28. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. An ANCOVA analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

  6. Adjusted Change From Baseline in Homeostasis Model Assessments - Beta-Cell Function (HOMA-B) and Insulin Sensitivity (HOMA-S) at Week 28

    Change from baseline in HOMA-B and HOMA-S are reported as adjusted LS mean values at Week 28. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of study medication. An ANCOVA analysis was performed, excluding measurements after initiation of rescue medication and study drug discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28

  7. Percentage of Participants Discontinuing the Study Due to Failure to Maintain Glycemic Control Through Week 28

    Participants were discontinued from the study due to failure to maintain glycemic control if either discontinuation reason on summary case report form was "Loss of glucose control" or AE with lower level Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) term "Loss of control of blood sugar" or "Hyperglycaemia" leading to study drug discontinuation, using MedDRA Version 23.0.

    Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Exenatide in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca at 53 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 53 sites in United States, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, India and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adjusted Change From Baseline in Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 28 (time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 28). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Dec 2020.
