To evaluate BYETTA use outside labelling indications in Canada.
Are there primary outcomes?Yes
The majority of patients were treated with BYETTA in accordance with the Canadian Product Monograph.
Are there secondary outcomes?Yes
One-third of patients in the inferred on-label category displayed some off-label behaviour at certain time points, mainly in conjunction with basal insulin

Drug utilisation study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Not applicable/no follow-up
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
This was a retrospective cohort study, with no hypothesis test. Number and proportion of patients were classified in each patient cohort of “inferred on-label”, “off-label” and “inferred off-label”; data were described by study year and gender. Overall off-label use was calculated. Concomitant use of BYETTA with insulin or TZD was further studied. Data on age and gender were obtained based on records documented in the prescription database when a patient initiating a treatment with BYETTA. The patterns and drug classes of concomitant medications were studied and described for each of the three patient cohorts.
