Brief summary
This research is a randomized, double-blind,controlled trial. 456 Chinese subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus will be enrolled in the trial.
Detailed description
This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the effects on glucose control of rE-4 as compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized into one of two rE-4 treatment arms or to placebo treatment and will continue with their required existing diabetes medications (metformin, a sulfonylurea or metformin and a sulfonylurea combination) throughout the study.
Interventions
Placebo Lead In (5 mcg) for 4 weeks / rE-4 5 mcg for 4 weeks / rE-4 5 mcg for 26 weeks - All are subcutaneously injected twice daily
Placebo Lead In (5 mcg) for 4 weeks / rE-4 5 mcg for 4 weeks / rE-4 10 mcg for 26 weeks - All are subcutaneously injected twice daily
Placebo Lead In (5 mcg) for 4 weeks / Placebo 5 mcg for 4 weeks / Placebo 5 mcg for 26 weeks - All are subcutaneously injected twice daily
Placebo Lead In (5 mcg) for 4 weeks / Placebo 5 mcg for 4 weeks / Placebo 10 mcg for 26 weeks - All are subcutaneously injected twice daily
