Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Treated with a stable dose of one of the following for at least 3 months prior to screening: \* \>=1000 mg/day immediate-release metformin; or metformin \>=1000 mg/day and sulfonylurea; or sulfonylurea/metformin combination therapy. * HbA1c between 7.1% and 11.0%, inclusive. * Body Mass Index (BMI) \>21 kg/m\^2 and \<35 kg/m\^2.
Exclusion criteria
* Have participated in this study previously, or any other study using exenatide or GLP-1 analogs. * Have participated in an interventional, medical, surgical, or pharmaceutical study within 30 days of screening. * Have characteristics contraindicating metformin or sulfonylurea use. * Have been treated with exogenous insulin for more than 1 week within the 3 months prior to screening. * Have used drugs for weight loss within 1 month of screening.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To test the hypothesis that exenatide (before morning and evening meals) produces a greater decrease in HbA1c than placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control taking metformin alone or metformin and sulfonylureas. | 16 weeks |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare exenatide and placebo groups with respect to: *safety and tolerability; *proportion of patients achieving HbA1c<=7%; *body weight; *incidence and rate of hypoglycemic events; *glucose measurements | 16 weeks |
