Title: A Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-ranging Study to Investigate the Effect on Glycemic Control, Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of GLP-1 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treated With a Stable Dose of Metformin.
Brief Summary: 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.
