Exeantide in Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin

September 8, 2022 updated by: Paresh Dandona, University at Buffalo

The Effect of Exenatide on Insulin Requirement, Weight and Inflammation in Obese Type 2 Diabetic Subjects on Insulin

Exenatide has been shown to result in better glycemic control in type II diabetes patients. Obesity and diabetes are states of increased inflammation; exenatide is expected to lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of Exenatide to diabetic patients will reduce the requirements of insulin particularly the short acting insulin. Exenatide may also lead to decreased inflammation by virtue of better glycemic control and weight loss, or an independent effect.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Fasting Insulin
Time Frame: after 24 hours fast at baseline and 12 weeks
To compare the fasting insulin level at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.
after 24 hours fast at baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Weight
Time Frame: value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
To compare the body weight at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients
value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
HbA1c
Time Frame: value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
To compare the HbA1c at the end of 12 weeks in patients on exenatide subcutaneously twice daily (5 or 10 mcg/injection) as compared to controls in insulin treated obese type 2 diabetic patients.
value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline
Intranuclear NFκB Binding Activity
Time Frame: measured after 6 hours of a single dose of placebo or exenatide treatment for value measured at 12 weeks minus baseline
Measured by a gel shift assay showing the NFKB and Oct-1 binding to the doublestranded oligonucleotide containing the NFKB DNA binding site in Exenatide group and placebo group
measured after 6 hours of a single dose of placebo or exenatide treatment for value measured at 12 weeks minus baseline
