A Study of Taspoglutide Versus Exenatide for the Treatment of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inadequately Controlled With Metformin, Thiazolidinedione or a Combination of Both.

Status: Recruiting

Protocol number: BC21625

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche

Company division: Pharmaceutical

Official Scientific Title: Randomized, active controlled, open label study to compare Taspoglutide vs Exenatide as add-on treatment to metformin and/or thiazolidinediones in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Brief summary: This 3-arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared with exenatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin, thiazolidinedione or a combination of both. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10mg once weekly or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or exenatide (5 micrograms twice daily for 4 weeks followed by 10 micrograms twice daily) in a ratio of 1:1:1 in addition to continued prestudy metformin and thiazolidinedione either alone or in combination. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is >500 individuals. Target sample size is 990.
