A Study by Scintigraphy to Evaluate the Effect of Exenatide on Gastric Emptying in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00517283 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

As exenatide slows the rate at which materials leave the stomach, it is likely to alter the rate of intestinal absorption of oral drugs when administered within a certain timeframe relative to exenatide. In addition, the residence time within the stomach of other medication may be prolonged and data from this study will help assess the change in residence time in the presence of therapeutic doses of exenatide. This study will also evaluate the relationship between blood levels of exenatide and parameters measuring rate of stomach emptying.

Treatments tested

• exenatide and placebo also known as Byetta, AC2993, synthetic exendin-4 Drug

  Period 1 = Subcutaneous injections of exenatide 5mcg twice daily for 4 days and once in the morning of the 5th day. Period 2 = Subcutaneous injections of exenatide 5mcg twice daily for 2 days, followed by 2 days of twice daily 10 mcg doses, 10mcg once in the morning of the 5th day. Period 3 = Subcutaneous injections of placebo in an amount equivalent to exenatide twice daily for 4 days and once in the morning of the 5th day. A washout of at least 2.5 days will occur between each treatment period.
