Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

No head to head comparisons between exenatide once weekly and liraglutide have been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare exenatide once weekly to once-daily liraglutide with regard to HbA1c, body weight, subject-reported outcomes, and other clinical benefits. The study includes a 26-week treatment period and a safety follow-up visit 10 weeks after the final study drug dose.

* If taking metformin and have a contraindication to metformin use
* Have been treated within 8 weeks of study start with systemic glucocorticoid therapy by oral, intravenous, intra-articular, or intramuscular route
* Have been treated with drugs that promote weight loss (e.g., Xenical® \[orlistat\], Meridia® \[sibutramine\], Acomplia® \[rimonabant\], Acutrim® \[phenylpropanolamine\], or similar over-the-counter medications) within 3 months of study start
* Have taken any of the following excluded medications for more than 1 week within the 3 months prior to study start, or have taken any of the following excluded medications within 1 month prior to study start:

* Insulin
* Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (e.g., Glyser® \[miglitol\] or Precose® \[acarbose\])
* Meglitinides (e.g., Prandin® \[repaglinide\] or Starlix® \[nateglinide\])
* Avandia® (rosiglitazone)
* Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors (e.g., Januvia™ \[sitagliptin\], Galvus® \[vildagliptin\], Onglyza™ \[saxagliptin\])
* Symlin® (pramlintide acetate)
* Have donated blood within 30 days prior to study start or have had a blood transfusion or severe blood loss within 3 months prior to study start
* Have at any time, including a clinical trial, taken exenatide once weekly, exenatide twice daily, liraglutide, or any other GLP-1 receptor agonist or GLP-1 analog
* Are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 3 months or longer if required by local guidelines, from a clinical trial involving use of an investigational drug or device, or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study
* Have previously been screen-failed from this study for any reason
* If a subject discontinues metformin, sulfonylurea, or pioglitazone prior to screening, the subject can be included if they discontinued the medication (whether alone or as component of combined medication) according to a specific schedule.
