The trial

How AMPLITUDE-D was run

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide in comparison to once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change in participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with metformin. Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on glycemic control. * To demonstrate the superiority of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide with once weekly injection of dulaglutide on body weight. * To evaluate the safety of once weekly injection of efpeglenatide and once weekly injection of dulaglutide.

  • Efpeglenatide 4 mg: Participants received Efpeglenatide subcutaneous (SC) injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly and increased every 2 weeks to the maximum of 4 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.
  • Efpeglenatide 6 mg: Participants received Efpeglenatide SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 2 mg once weekly and increased every 2 weeks to the maximum of 6 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.
  • Dulaglutide 1.5 mg: Participants received Dulaglutide SC injection once weekly up to Week 56 on top of metformin. Participants initiated dosing at 0.75 mg once weekly and increased after 2 weeks to 1.5 mg once weekly for the treatment duration.
Who could join the trial
