Frequently asked questions about AC2993

What is AC2993?

AC2993 is an investigational small molecule developed by AstraZeneca PLC for metabolic conditions, specifically diabetes. It has been studied in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Mellitus, including a Phase 2 trial in Type 1 Diabetes. AC2993 is also known as exenatide and has been evaluated across multiple completed clinical trials.

What is AC2993 used for in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?

AC2993 has been studied for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with trials evaluating its effect on glucose control and safety. Studies also examined its use in patients treated with metformin, sulfonylurea, or a combination of both. The program includes completed Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials in this indication.

Who is developing AC2993?

AC2993 is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. The company has sponsored clinical trials of AC2993 in diabetes, including studies in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Type 1 Diabetes.

What phase is AC2993 in?

AC2993 is in Phase 2 development. Its clinical program includes completed Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, with no active trials currently listed. The studies enrolled a total of 1,267 participants across diabetes indications.

What clinical trials is AC2993 in?

AC2993 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01789957, an extension study in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; NCT00064714, a Phase 2 study in Type 1 Diabetes; NCT00044694, a Phase 2 glucose control study; and NCT00044668, a Phase 3 study in patients on metformin or sulfonylurea.

Is AC2993 the same as exenatide?

Yes, AC2993 is also known as exenatide. The alternative names AC2993 2.5 mcg and AC2993 (exenatide) refer to the same investigational compound developed by AstraZeneca PLC for diabetes indications.
