Abstract

Estimated mean differences in HbA1c were -1.15% for Exenatide once weekly, -1.01% for liraglutide 1.2 mg, and -1.18% for liraglutide 1.8 mg.

  • Exenatide once weekly showed a significant reduction in HbA1c compared to placebo.
  • Liraglutide 1.2 mg also indicated a meaningful reduction in HbA1c relative to placebo.
  • The difference in HbA1c reduction between Exenatide once weekly and liraglutide 1.2 mg was -0.14%, which was not statistically significant.
  • A negligible difference of 0.03% was observed between Exenatide once weekly and liraglutide 1.8 mg.
  • The comparison of liraglutide 1.2 mg and 1.8 mg resulted in a mean HbA1c difference of 0.17%, suggesting minimal variability in their effectiveness.
