E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of EXSCEL will be to evaluate the effect of exenatide once weekly (EQW), used in addition to the current usual care for glycemic control, on major macrovascular events when administered to patients with type 2 diabetes. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of EXSCEL are to evaluate the effect of EQW treatment used in addition to the current usual care for glycemic control on:
(1) All cause mortality
(2) Each of the components of the primary composite CV endpoint
(3) Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
(4) Hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF) |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Patients enrolled in the trial will have the option to consent separately to provide a whole blood sample for future pharmacogenomic analyses. The objective of collecting blood samples from which genetic analyses can be performed is to investigate the relationships between genetic make-up and clinical events. These samples will be drawn at baseline, or at any point in the trial at which consent is obtained from the patient.
Patients enrolled in the trial will be asked to consent separately to provide two blood and one urine samples for future biomarker analyses. These specimens (preferably fasting) will be obtained at baseline (prior to drug exposure), annually and trial/early termination. |

- Patient has an HbA1c of ≥ 6.5% and ≤ 10.0% and is currently using
one of the following treatment regimens:
•Treatment with up to three (i.e., 0-3) oral AHAs (concomitant use of
DPP-4 inhibitors is permitted).
•Insulin therapy, either alone or in combination with up to two (ie., 0-2)

combination of individual or premixed insulins)
All patients should be on a stable diabetes management regimen, as
assessed by the investigator, at the time of enrollment.

effective method of contraception or must not otherwise be at risk of
becoming pregnant.
- Patient agrees to provide permission to obtain all medical records
necessary for complete data ascertainment during the follow-up period,
and agrees to communication between the trial site and the usual care
provider in order to facilitate routine care.
- Patient is 18 years or older at enrollment. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Patient has a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus, or a history of ketoacidosis.
- Patient has a history (≥ 2 episodes) of severe hypoglycemia within 12 months of enrollment.

- Patient is enrolled in another experimental protocol which involves the use of an investigational drug or device, or an intervention that would interfere with the conduct of the trial.
- Patient has a planned or anticipated revascularization procedure.
- Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the trial period.
- Patient has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance which, in the opinion of the investigator or coordinator, might pose an unacceptable risk to the patient, confound the results of the trial e.g. if patient cannot comply with requirements of the trial, or likely to interfere with the patient’s participation for the full duration of the trial.
- Patient has end-stage renal disease or an estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
- Patient has a history of gastroparesis.
- Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2) or calcitonin level > 40ng/L at baseline.
- Patient has previously been enrolled in EXSCEL.
- Patient has a history of pancreatitis.
