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
Week 24
Subjects That Attained Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Target Levels of <7%, < 6.5%, and < 6.0% Without an Episode of Severe Hypoglycemia at Week 24

Frequently asked questions about Exubera

What is Exubera?

Exubera is an inhaled insulin product developed by Pfizer, Inc. (ticker PFE) for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including type 2 diabetes. It is a small molecule therapy in the metabolic therapeutic area. It was studied as an alternative route of insulin delivery compared with injected insulin in patients with diabetes.

What is Exubera used for in diabetes?

Exubera is used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including type 2 diabetes. Clinical development focused on glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, including a Phase 3 study comparing Exubera with lispro insulin in a Lantus-based regimen. It is an inhaled insulin formulation rather than an injected one.

Who makes Exubera?

Exubera is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades under the ticker PFE. Pfizer sponsored the clinical trial program for the inhaled insulin product, including the Phase 3 studies conducted in the United States and Puerto Rico.

What phase is Exubera in?

Exubera was studied in Phase 3 clinical development. The Phase 3 trials in the program have been completed, and the studies enrolled adults 18 years and older with diabetes mellitus, including type 2 diabetes. The program includes completed randomized, active-controlled trials.

What clinical trials is Exubera in?

Exubera was evaluated in Phase 3 trials including NCT00348374, which compared Exubera with lispro in a Lantus-based regimen for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, and NCT00246623, a US inhaled insulin dose titration study in type 2 diabetes. Both trials are completed.

Is Exubera the same as inhaled insulin?

Exubera is also known as Exubera (inhaled insulin). It is an inhaled formulation of insulin developed by Pfizer for diabetes mellitus, including type 2 diabetes, and was studied in Phase 3 trials as an alternative to injected insulin for glycemic control.
