Brief summary
This study will be the first evaluation of exenatide in adolescent subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is designed to evaluate the blood levels of the drug (pharmacokinetics), the drug's biochemical and physiological effects (pharmacodynamics), and tolerability of exenatide in these subjects.
Interventions
Exenatide 2.5 mcg, single dose, followed by Exenatide 5 mcg, single dose, followed by placebo 0.02 mL, single dose. All are subcutaneous injections.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To assess the pharmacokinetics of exenatide | Three day-long (8 hour) assessments over a 5-week period | To assess pharmacokinetics of exenatide by measuring peak plasma time, time to peak concentration, terminal elimination half-life, apparent elimination time constant, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, and area under concentration curve. |
| To assess the pharmacodynamics of exenatide | Three day-long (8 hour) assessments over a 5-week period | To assess the pharmacodynamics of exenatide by measuring plasma glucose, serum insulin, and plasma glucagon: absolute and incremental area under the curve 0-3 hours), absolute and incremental area under the curve (0-6 hours), areas under the concentration-time curve (0-6 h), peak plasma contration, and time to peak concentration. |
| Number of adverse events | Visit 2 through Visit 4 | Adverse events will be assessed at all visits after the Screening Visit \[Visit 2 (first time subject is dosed) through Visit 4 (study termination)\]. All events assessed with special attention to changes in vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory values |
