OBJECTIVE To report the incidence of pancreatitis in type 2 diabetes trials of liraglutide and details of all pancreatitis cases.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from Novo Nordisk–sponsored trials with liraglutide (phase 2 and 3; NN2211 identifiers) completed by 19 April 2013 were pooled. All pancreatitis cases were reviewed.

Not all cases fulfilled diagnostic criteria, and confounding variables were present in 75% of the AP cases with liraglutide therapy, precluding firm conclusions.
