Efficacy and tolerability of exenatide once weekly over 7 years in patients with type 2 diabetes: An open-label extension of the DURATION-1 study.
Journal of Diabetes and its Complications 2018 December 6
AIMS: To investigate the glycemic efficacy, effects on cardiovascular risk factors, and safety of exenatide once weekly (QW) in patients with type 2 diabetes over 7 years in the DURATION-1 study.
METHODS: Patients were initially randomized to exenatide QW 2 mg or exenatide twice daily for 30 weeks, after which they received open-label, open-ended treatment with exenatide QW 2 mg for up to 7 years. Efficacy analyses included changes from baseline in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C ) and cardiovascular risk factors.
RESULTS: Of 295 patients in the intention-to-treat population, 122 (41%) completed 7 years of treatment. Patients in the 7-year completer population showed sustained glycemic improvements from baseline (7-year least-squares mean [LSM] change in HbA1C , -1.53%) and significant improvements in several cardiovascular risk factors, including body weight, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Seven-year completers who received no additional glucose-lowering therapies (n = 65 [53%]) had similar improvements in HbA1C, and numerically greater reductions in body weight (7-year LSM change, -6.46 kg vs -3.87 kg), compared with the overall cohort. There were no unexpected safety findings.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with exenatide QW for 7 years was associated with sustained improvements in glycemic control and several cardiovascular risk factors.
