Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to define the dose response of Glymera as measured as the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) following 20 weeks of once-weekly dosing. Secondary objectives: The secondary objectives are to: * Describe incidence, severity, and duration of reported gastrointestinal side effects of Glymera compared to active comparator; * Compare change from baseline in HbA1c following 20 weeks of dosing compared to placebo and active comparator; * Compare change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) following 20 weeks of dosing compared to placebo and active comparator; * Describe the frequencies of adverse events in the treatment groups; and * Describe the above endpoints for the following subgroups of subjects according to baseline type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy: diet and exercise only, metformin only, sulfonylurea only, or metformin and sulfonylurea combination therapy.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male and female subjects 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive; * Body mass index ≤45 kg/m2; * Diagnosed with T2DM with HbA1c of ≥7.0% and ≤11.0% and treated with diet and exercise alone, or with stable doses of metformin alone, sulfonylurea alone or metformin and sulfonylurea.
Exclusion criteria
* Currently taking or have taken within the last 6 months non-oral antihyperglycemic agents (eg, insulin, Byetta®, Bydureon®, or Victoza). Short-term use of insulin within this period will not be cause for exclusion if insulin was used during the treatment of an acute intercurrent illness; * Known allergy to or serious adverse effect caused by an approved or investigational glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor analog/agonist; * Unstable cardiovascular disease; * History of weight loss surgery or other gastrointestinal surgical procedures that could possibly interfere with the mechanism of action of GLP-1 receptor agonists; * Based on contraindications/warnings identified with other GLP-1 receptor agonists, subjects will be excluded if they have: History, symptoms, or signs of pancreatitis or severe gastrointestinal disease (ie, gastroparesis) or Personal or family history of medullary thyroid tumors or history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2; * Clinically significant renal and/or hepatic dysfunction; * Pregnant or lactating female subjects.
