Executive Summary
Amylin, Lilly and Alkermes have given Wall Street more good news about once-weekly Bydureon, the glucogen-like peptide-1 agonist exenatide in type 2 diabetes, still under review by US regulators. It was not a surprise to many, but Amylin announced that the FDA-required full QT study confirmed that Bydureon, at and above therapeutic levels, did not prolong corrected QT (QTc) interval in healthy volunteers, nor did not it show dose-dependent increase in QTc interval at higher dose levels.
