A 16-Week, Parallel-Group, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Multiple Doses and Multiple Treatment Regimens of GSK716155, With Byetta as an Open Label Active Reference, in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
This study is a placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are either taking no diabetes medication or who are taking metformin only. This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Albiglutide (GSK716155) and will measure the levels of Albiglutide (GSK716155) in the bloodstream when it is given for 16 weeks. As a comparison, some subjects will receive exenatide instead of Albiglutide (GSK716155). The study will involve weekly visits for 17 weeks,and less frequent follow-up visits for an additional 10 weeks. Assessments include repeat blood sampling and monitoring of any side effects.

Primary outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 16 — Baseline and Week 16
HbA1c is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over a 2- to 3-month period. The Baseline HbA1c value is defined as the last non-missing value before the start of treatment. Change from Baseline in HbA1c was calculated as the value at Week 16 minus the value at Baseline. Based on ANCOVA: Change = treatment + Baseline HbA1c + prior therapy + gender + region. The last observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data, in which the last valid observation recorded on treatment (scheduled or unscheduled) was used to impute the missing measurement. For participants who had missing observations before their last observation on treatment, the closest previous non-missing on-treatment observation was carried forward to missing visits. If a participant had missing observation(s) immediately after Baseline, the Baseline observation was not carried forward and was left as missing.
