Route of administration of the placebo: Subcutaneous use

Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: to compare the efficacy and safety of exenatide to placebo when added to basal insulin glargine with or without OAMs with respect to:
• percentage of subjects with A1C =7.0% and A1C =6.5% at 30 weeks;
• change from baseline in fasting glucose;
• 7-point self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) profiles and mean blood glucose (BG) measurement based on 7-point SMBG;
• change from baseline in fasting total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides;
• change from baseline in body weight (kg);
• change from baseline in waist circumference (cm);
• change from baseline in insulin dose (24-hour total international units [IU]
and total units/kg body weight);
• change from baseline in seated systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP);
• safety, as measured by:
o self-reported hypoglycemic episodes;
o treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs);
Main Objective: to test the hypothesis that twice daily exenatide plus titration of basal insulin is superior to placebo plus titration of basal insulin on glycemic control as measured by change in A1C from baseline (Visit 3) to Week 30, with or without oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs) in adult subjects with T2DM who are suboptimally controlled (A1C =7.1% and =10.5%).
Primary end point(s): The primary analysis variable is the change in A1C, and the primary analysis set is FAS. The conclusion for the primary analysis will be based on the pvalue for the test of treatment effect at 30 weeks.
