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   44154   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7326   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 assess the effect on glycemic control, as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), of exenatide once weekly following 24 weeks of treatment compared with placebo in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The Extended Safety Follow-up Period was continued for up to 3 years or until the increase in height between two 6 month interval visits was less than 5 millimeters (whichever came first). No study medication was administered during the Extended Safety Follow-up Period.
    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.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    		 This study was conducted in adolescents (aged 10 to 17 years inclusive) with type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise alone or in combination with a stable dose of oral antidiabetic agents and/or insulin for at least 2 months prior to screening. 27 study centers in 6 countries randomized patients during the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    		 Study had a screening period (5 weeks), controlled assessment period (24 weeks; patients randomized 5:2 to exenatide or placebo), open-label extension period (28 weeks) and post-treatment follow-up period (10 weeks). 84 patients were randomized but 1 due to clinical error and immediately discontinued, thus, 83 patients were included in the study.

    Notes
    [1] - Period 1 is not the baseline period. It is expected that period 1 will be the baseline period.
    Justification: Period 1 presents data for all patients randomized until the start of treatment and Period 2 presents data for all patients who received study medication during the controlled assessment period. Baseline characteristics are based on patients who were randomized and who received at least one dose of the study medication; Period 2 is therefore the baseline period.

    Change from baseline in HbA1c (%) to Week 24 during the controlled assessment period is reported as adjusted least square (LS) mean values. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment (scheduled or unscheduled) on or prior to the first dose of randomized study medication. A mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM) analysis was performed, excluding data collected after initiation of rescue medication or premature discontinuation of study medication. The Evaluable Analysis Set consisted of all randomized patients who received at least 1 dose of randomized study medication and had at least 1 baseline and post-baseline HbA1c assessment.

    End point description
    A controlled assessment period AE was defined as an AE starting on or after day of first dose of study medication up to but not including Week 24 for patients entering the extension period. For patients not entering the extension period, the period was defined up to and including last dose of study medication + 7 days (+ 90 days for serious AEs [SAEs] and other clinically significant or related AEs). The Investigator assessed AEs for causal relationship to study drug medication. The Safety Analysis Set consisted of all patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication. One patient who was randomized to placebo received a dose of exenatide in error and was subsequently reassigned to the exenatide treatment group for analyses based on actual treatment (ie, for analyses based on the Safety Analysis Set).

    End point description
    Percentage of patients positive for ADAs up to Week 24 for the exenatide treatment group is reported. Baseline was the antibody measurement at Week 0 (Day 1). A negative or missing antibody measurement was considered negative at baseline. High positive = antibody titers ≥625, including baseline assessment. Low positive = antibody titers <625, including baseline assessment. A patient was said to have treatment-emergent ADA positive at a visit if the antibody test was positive after first dose of exenatide following a negative or missing antibody measurement, or the titer increased by at least 1 titration category from a detectable measurement prior to first dose of randomized study medication. The Safety Analysis Set consisted of all patients who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Only patients receiving exenatide in the controlled assessment period were included in the analysis.

    Interruptions (globally)
    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats
    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    For statistical analyses of change from baseline in HOMA-B and HOMA-S, due to the limited sample size (n=14 and n=7 in the extenatide and placebo groups, respectively) it is difficult to accurately interpret these data.
