A Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Albiglutide Administered in Combination With Insulin Glargine

This randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a weekly subcutaneously injected dose of albiglutide in combination with insulin glargine as compared with the combination of insulin glargine and preprandial lispro insulin in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Subjects with a historical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled despite the use of insulin glargine or other intermediate- or long-acting insulins for \>/= 6 months but \< 5 years, with or without oral antidiabetic medications, who are unable to achieve a glycosylated hemoglobin value of \< 7% will be recruited into the study. Subjects must also be willing and capable of pursuing an intensive regimen of both basal and preprandial insulin.
