Official title

The Effects of Exenatide (Byetta) on Energy Expenditure and Weight Loss in Non-Diabetic Obese Subjects

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Exenatide is an incretin-like drug that has been approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes; it improves glycemia by increasing insulin and decreasing glucagon secretion by pancreatic islet cells and delaying gastric emptying. This randomized, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate whether exenatide over a 5 week period in non-diabetic obese subjects may lead to weight loss. To control for variability in individual response to weight loss treatment, this study will assess the role of exenatide in changing food intake and energy expenditure as possible sources of weight loss. This study will also evaluate the safety profile of exenatide in non-diabetic obese people. Additional assessments will evaluate changes in body fat and hormones involved in the sensations of hunger and fullness.
