Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44236   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7337   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 28 weeks between exenatide once weekly (EQW) 2 milligrams (mg) and dapagliflozin 10 mg administered simultaneously compared to EQW 2 mg alone and dapagliflozin 10 mg alone. Dapagliflozin was administered orally and EQW as subcutaneous (SC) injection.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was performed in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice, applicable regulatory requirements and the AstraZeneca policy on Bioethics and Human Biological Samples.
    Background therapy
    Patients continued to administer the same type and dose of metformin therapy they were using at study entry (at least 1500 mg/day).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Study conducted between 04 September 2014 and 28 December 2017. 118 centers in 6 countries randomized patients in the study. A Primary Analysis was performed following completion of the 28-week Treatment Period with a data cut-off date of 26 April 2016. All Primary and Secondary End Points were reported at the time of the Primary Analysis.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study had a Screening Visit, a 1-week placebo Lead-in Period, a Randomization Visit, and 9 further visits at 1- to 4-week intervals during a 28-week Treatment Period. Patients then entered a 24-week Extension Period 1 and subsequent 52-week Extension Period 2. A follow-up visit occurred 10 weeks after last dose of study medication.

    Blinding implementation details
    Patients received single-blind dapagliflozin and exenatide placebo during the Lead-in Period. From the Randomization Visit and throughout the 28-week Treatment Period, the study was double-blind. The Sponsor and its applicable representatives were unblinded in the Extension Periods (ie, from Week 28 onwards). Sites and patients remained blinded during the Extension Periods.

    To compare the change from baseline to Week 28 in 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG) after a standard Meal Tolerance Test (MTT) between exenatide once weekly (EQW) 2 mg and dapagliflozin 10 mg administered simultaneously compared to EQW 2 mg alone and dapagliflozin 10 mg alone. Analysis performed on the ITT analysis set which included all randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 post-baseline HbA1c assessment.

    Amendment
    03 Oct 2014
    -Exclusion/inclusion criteria amended for clarification of patients that could be included in the study (those on antihypertensive agents, thyroid replacement therapy and antidepressant agents were eligible if on a stable treatment regimen for 2 months prior to Visit 1). -Exclusion criterion amended to reduce threshold for exclusion based on calcitonin levels to align with new project-wide criteria. -Exclusion criterion amended to correct errors in exclusionary laboratory values for serum creatinine. -Methods for ensuring blinding amended to clarify blinding during the Extension Periods and blinding procedures for central laboratory results updated to help prevent indirect unblinding of study treatment. -Restrictions updated to clarify substances and activities from which patients were to abstain for 24 hours prior to visits. -Procedures for discontinuation amended to allow patients that temporarily stop drug treatment due to an AE or other significant event to continue participating in the trial. -Study Plan and Timing of Procedures updated. -Treatment period and study assessment text amended to clarify procedures for performing the 6-point self-monitored blood glucose profile for patients receiving rescue therapy. -Removed requirement that patients take doses of study medication during clinic visits. -Study assessment text regarding the MTT updated to include additional instruction on timing and to clarify the sequence of steps of the MTT. -Urinalysis text updated to specify that urine glucose results were blinded to reduce the possibility of study treatment unblinding. -Text added to clarify procedures for monitoring and assessing potential liver injuries. -Text updated to clarify Hy’s Law information to conform with updated Sponsor standards. -Updated description of hypoglycaemia assessment and reporting to clarify that classification would be done programmatically rather than by Investigators.
    20 Feb 2015
    -Exclusion criterion modified to be less restrictive with respect to prior study participation. -Study Plan and Timing of Procedures were updated. -Review of potential cardiovascular (CV) event triggers was added to all visits where AEs and concomitant medication were reviewed. -Text was added to indicate that metformin should be taken with the next meal, and does not need to be taken at the study site, and that urine should be collected right before time 0 of the MTT. -Extension Period Visit text was amended so that instead of plasma fasting glucose, HbA1c levels were used to determine the need for rescue during the extension period. -New section regarding paternal exposure was added to align with current AstraZeneca protocol template language. -New section regarding CV adjudication was added to enable assessment of CV risk across the exenatide clinical program.
    02 Sep 2015
    -A 52-week extension (Extension Period 2) was added to the study. -Sample collection during the End of Treatment Period Visit or Early Termination or Rescue during Treatment Period was amended to state that blood samples were to be collected after administration of dapagliflozin and that a between visit telephone contact was to take place between Visit 12 to 13 for safety information. -Sample collection and storage of biological samples for future research was amended for clarification.
