Liraglutide, a once-daily human GLP-1 analogue, added to a sulphonylurea

Trial comparing the effects of combining liraglutide (0.6, 1.2 or 1.8 mg/day) or rosiglitazone 4 mg/day or placebo with glimepiride (2–4 mg/day) on glycaemic control, body weight and safety in type 2 diabetes.

Liraglutide once a day versus exenatide twice a day for type 2 diabetes: a 26-week randomised, parallel-group, multinational, open-label trial (LEAD 6)

Unlike most antihyperglycaemic drugs, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have a glucose-dependent action and promote weight loss. This study compared the effi cacy and safety of liraglutide, a human GLP-1 analogue, with exenatide, an exendin-based GLP-1 receptor agonist.
