Popis: Aims/Introduction To compare safety and efficacy of the extended-release formulation exenatide once weekly (EQW) vs exenatide twice daily (EBID) for 26 weeks in type 2 diabetes patients from China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Materials and Methods A randomized, comparator-controlled, open-label study included 681 patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] ≥7 and ≤11%) with oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs). Patients added 2 mg EQW or 10 μg EBID to current OAMs. Safety was re-evaluated 10 weeks after last treatment. Results EQW was superior to EBID on HbA1c measures at week 26 (Least-squares mean treatment difference: −0.31% [95% confidence interval −0.49, −0.14%]). More EQW-treated patients achieved target HbA1c ≤7.0% (P = 0.003), ≤6.5% (P
