Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to try and achieve similar glycemic control in general non-Intensive Care Unit (non-ICU) patients with Type 2 Diabetes with exenatide alone or in combination with basal insulin as compared to treatment with basal bolus insulin alone. The association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes is well established. Previous studies have shown that basal bolus insulin regimens improve glycemic control and reduce the rate of hospital complications compared to sliding scale regular insulin (SSRI) therapy, but has a significant risk of hypoglycemia. The investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of exenatide alone or in combination with basal insulin to control high blood glucose levels resulting in a lower risk of hypoglycemia.

Phase 4

Detailed Description

The association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes is well established. Data from previous trials in hospitalized patients have shown a strong association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcomes, such as mortality, morbidity, length of stay (LOS), infections and overall complications. Basal bolus insulin regimens improve glycemic control and reduce the rate of hospital complications compared to sliding scale regular insulin (SSRI). However, the use of basal bolus is labor intensive, requiring multiple daily insulin injections, and has a significant risk of hypoglycemia. The investigators will study if treatment with exenatide alone or in combination with basal insulin will result in similar glycemic control and a lower frequency of hypoglycemia than treatment with basal bolus in general non-Intensive Care Unit (non-ICU) patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Exenatide inpatient

Patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with diet, oral antidiabetic drugs, or with low-dose insulin will receive exenatide (Byetta®) twice daily. Supplemental (correction) doses of rapid-acting insulin analogs will be given for blood glucose levels > 140 mg/dL per the sliding scale.

Drug: Exenatide
Exenatide is dispensed via a 1.2 mL prefilled pen with 250 mcg/mL solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection and will be administered twice daily starting at 5 mcg per dose, either in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Exenatide injections will be given within 60 minutes prior to morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, approximately 6 hours or more apart between doses). The exenatide dose will be increased to 10 mcg twice daily after 1 month based on clinical response.
Other Names:
  • Byetta
  • Active Comparator: Exenatide plus glargine insulin inpatient

    Patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with diet, oral antidiabetic drugs, or with low-dose insulin will receive exenatide twice daily and glargine once daily. Glargine insulin will be given once daily at the same time. Supplemental (correction) doses of rapid-acting insulin analogs will be given for blood glucose levels > 140 mg/dL per the sliding scale.

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Mean Daily Blood Glucose Concentration Inpatient
    Description The levels of blood glucose (BG) will be measured before each meal and at bedtime using a glucose meter. Blood glucose will be measured at baseline and during the hospital stay (up to 10 days).
    Time Frame Duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days.

    Arm/Group Title Exenatide Exenatide Plus Glargine Insulin Basal Bolus Regimen
    Arm/Group Description Exenatide: Exenatide is dispensed via a 1.2 mL prefilled pen with 250 mcg/mL solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection and will be administered twice daily starting at 5 mcg per dose, either in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Exenatide: Exenatide is dispensed via a 1.2 mL prefilled pen with 250 mcg/mL solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection and will be administered twice daily starting at 5 mcg per dose, either in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Exenatide injections will be given within 60 minutes prior to morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, approximately 6 hours or more apart between doses). The exenatide dose will be increased to 10 mcg twice daily after 1 month based on clinical response. Glargine: Glargine will be given once daily, at the same time of day. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with diet, oral antidiabetic drugs, or with low-dose insulin will receive the Basal Bolus Regimen with Glargine and Rapid-Acting Insulin Analogs. Patients treated with insulin previously will receive 80% of total home daily insulin dose as the basal bolus. Half of the total daily dose will be given as glargine and half as rapid-acting insulin analogs.

    Description The difference in the levels of HbA1c at discharge and at 12 weeks from discharge will be measured. The A1C test result is reported as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher a person's blood glucose levels have been. A normal A1C level is below 5.7 percent.
    Time Frame 12 weeks from discharge.

    Arm/Group Title Exenatide Exenatide Plus Glargine Insulin Basal Bolus Regimen
    Arm/Group Description Exenatide: Exenatide is dispensed via a 1.2 mL prefilled pen with 250 mcg/mL solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection and will be administered twice daily starting at 5 mcg per dose, either in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Exenatide: Exenatide is dispensed via a 1.2 mL prefilled pen with 250 mcg/mL solution for subcutaneous (s.c.) injection and will be administered twice daily starting at 5 mcg per dose, either in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Exenatide injections will be given within 60 minutes prior to morning and evening meals (or before the two main meals of the day, approximately 6 hours or more apart between doses). The exenatide dose will be increased to 10 mcg twice daily after 1 month based on clinical response. Glargine: Glargine will be given once daily, at the same time of day. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with diet, oral antidiabetic drugs, or with low-dose insulin will receive the Basal Bolus Regimen with Glargine and Rapid-Acting Insulin Analogs. Patients treated with insulin previously will receive 80% of total home daily insulin dose as the basal bolus. Half of the total daily dose will be given as glargine and half as rapid-acting insulin analogs.
