Type 2 & other diabetes

Effects of exenatide on coronary stent’s endothelialization in subjects with type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial. The Rebuild study

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Twelve weeks treatment with exenatide did not lead to a significantly better stent coverage in people with T2D. No significant differences in the occurrence of neo-atherosclerosis were detected between groups.

Study context

Population
Subjects with T2D eligible for revascularization with implantation of drug-eluting stent
Participants
38 subjects
Comparison
Exenatide once weekly plus standard treatment vs standard treatment alone
Primary endpoint
Percentage of strut coverage by optical coherence tomography
Follow-up
12 weeks
