Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

• Total Enrollment: 150 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2015-11-30
• Study Completion Date: 2018-04-30

Brief Summary

This is a multi-centre, open-label, randomized, parallel trial to compare the effect of Exenatide versus Biphasic insulin Aspart 30 on glucose variability and inflammatory markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy.

Detailed Description

Studies have showed that fluctuations of glucose seem to have more deleterious effects than sustained hyperglycaemia in the development of diabetic complications. The present randomized controlled trial was designed with primary aim to evaluate glycaemic fluctuation in the comparison between twice-daily Exenatide and other treatment paradigm (e.g. insulin Aspart 30).

Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Exenatide

Exenatide (Colorless transparent liquid, comes in a prefilled pen.5ug/10ug, AstraZeneca) should be initiated, 60 minutes pre-breakfast and pre-supper, at 5ug twice a day for 4 weeks and then titrated up at 10ug twice a day until the completion of the study.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Exenatide

Intervention Type: DRUG

Biphasic insulin Aspart 30

Biphasic insulin Aspart 30 (Colorless transparent liquid, 100u/mL, 3ml each, Novo Nordisk), subcutaneous injection, starting at a dose of 0.2-0.4 IU/kg, or 10～12 IU/d assigned in pre-breakfast and pre-supper in a 1:1 ratio. The adjustment of insulin dose is instructed to achieve an optimal balance between glycaemic control and risk of hypoglycaemia as dictated by best clinical practice, titrated to glucose targets of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and pre-supper \<7 mmol/L.
