STUDY OBJECTIVE
• To compare the efficacy and safety of exenatide twice daily or mealtime insulin lispro in patients inadequately controlled by insulin glargine and metformin despite up-titration
Diamant M. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:2763-2773
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
• Trial was a 30-week, open-label, multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial with 12
• weeks prior insulin optimization
• 627 patients with insufficient postoptimization glycated HbA1c were randomized to exenatide (10–20 mg/day) or thrice-daily mealtime lispro titrated to a premeal glucose of 5.6–6.0 mmol/L
• Both were added to insulin glargine and metformin
Diamant M. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:2763-2773
RESULTS
• Randomization HbA1c and fasting glucose (FG) were 8.3% and 7.1 mmol/L for exenatide and 8.2% and 7.1 mmol/L for lispro, respectively
• At 30 weeks postrandomization, mean HbA1c changes were noninferior for exenatide compared with lispro
• Treatment differences were –0.04 in per-protocol and –0.03 in intent-to-treat populations
• FG was lower with exenatide than lispro
Diamant M. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:2763-2773
RESULTS
• Weight decreased with exenatide and increased with lispro
• More patients reported treatment satisfaction and better quality of life with exenatide than lispro
• A larger proportion of patients with exenatide experienced treatment-emergent adverse events
• Exenatide resulted in fewer nonnocturnal hypoglycemic episodes but more gastrointestinal adverse events than lispro

CONCLUSIONS
• Adding exenatide to titrated glargine with metformin resulted in similar glycemic control as adding lispro and was well tolerated
• Findings support exenatide as a noninsulin addition for patients failing basal insulin
