A Study of a GLP-1 Analogue in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Metformin.

This 6 arm study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple doses and regimens of a GLP-1 analogue in patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with a stable dose of metformin. Patients will be randomized to receive either subcutaneous placebo, or subcutaneous GLP-1 analogue, 5mg, 10mg or 20mg weekly, or 10mg or 20mg every 2 weeks. All patients will continue on their existing metformin treatment regimen throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
