Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at End of Treatment
Baseline, Week 24 (End of Treatment)

Change from Baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c %) at Week 24. Change = mean value at Week 24 minus mean value at Baseline.

Proportion of patients with type 2 diabetes (A1C 7.5-10% on >= 2 oral agents) in each study arm (Exubera dosage adjusted 'once weekly' or 'twice weekly') that attain an A1C of <=7% with forced dose titration of Exubera at 6 months.

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Each Visit
Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 24
Subjects That Attained Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 7.0%, < 6.5% and < 6.0% at Week 24

Frequently asked questions about Exubera

What is Exubera used for?

Exubera is an investigational inhaled insulin product being developed for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including type 2 diabetes. It is intended to help control blood sugar levels in adult patients. The drug is administered via inhalation, offering an alternative to injectable insulin for managing the condition.

Who makes Exubera?

Exubera is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., a multinational pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PFE. Pfizer is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Exubera in patients with diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes.

What phase is Exubera in?

Exubera is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trials are designed to assess its efficacy and safety in treating diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes, with completed studies involving adult participants.

What clinical trials is Exubera in?

Exubera has been studied in two completed Phase 3 clinical trials. NCT00246623, titled "US Inhaled Insulin Dose Titration Study," enrolled 120 participants with type 2 diabetes in the United States. NCT00348374, titled "Exubera vs Lispro in a Lantus-based Regimen for Improved Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes," enrolled 191 participants with diabetes mellitus in the United States and Puerto Rico.

How does Exubera work?

Exubera is a small molecule that delivers insulin through inhalation. It is designed to mimic the body's natural insulin response by providing rapid-acting insulin to control postprandial glucose levels. The inhaled formulation allows insulin to be absorbed through the lungs, offering a non-invasive method of administration for diabetes management.

Is Exubera the same as other inhaled insulins?

Exubera is a specific inhaled insulin product developed by Pfizer. It is not the same as other inhaled insulins, as each product has its own formulation and delivery system. Exubera's clinical trials focus on its unique dose titration and efficacy compared to other insulin regimens in type 2 diabetes.
