  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ceasing sitagliptin and switching to exenatide and metformin is non-inferior to adding exenatide to sitagliptin and metformin, in those patients with type 2 diabetes who are experiencing inadequate glycemic control with a combination of sitagliptin and metformin.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating exenatide.
  • Have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to exenatide, sitagliptin or excipients contained in exenatide or sitagliptin.
  • Used drugs for weight loss (for example, orlistat, sibutramine, phenylpropanolamine, or similar over-the-counter medications) within 1 month of screening.

  • Are currently treated with any of the following excluded medications:

    • Thiazolidinediones (TZD) within 3 months of screening.
    • Sulfonylurea (SU) within 3 months of screening.
    • Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitors, with the exception of sitagliptin, within 3 months of screening.
    • Meglitinide derivatives (for example, repaglinide or nateglinide) within 3 months of screening.
    • Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (for example, miglitol or acarbose) within 3 months of screening.
    • Exogenous insulin within the 3 months prior to screening.
    • Drugs that directly affect gastrointestinal motility, including, but not limited to: metoclopramide, cisapride, and chronic macrolide antibiotics.
