About this study

Official title: Effect of GIP / GIP Analog in Type 2 Diabetes After a Meal

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)/GIP Analog on people with Type 2 Diabetes.

Read the detailed description

The small bowel makes a hormone called glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). It is released into the blood stream and goes to the pancreas. It works there with nutrients, especially glucose, in the digested food so that insulin is released in sufficient amounts from the pancreas. The insulin causes the nutrients from the food to be stored in the liver, fat and muscle until they are needed to provide energy. GIP also slows emptying of food from the stomach, which decreases the rate with which fats in food are broken down and stored. Once it is released into the blood, GIP is quickly broken down and becomes inactive. Individuals with type 2 diabetes do not make enough GIP and pharmacological doses of naturally occurring GIP do not increase insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes. This study is testing a modified GIP (it had one amino acid difference from naturally occurring human GIP) that is not broken down as quickly in individuals with type 2 diabetes, to determine if it will improve insulin secretion, after eating, in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will also compare its effects to that of naturally occurring, human GIP. Both human GIP and the modified GIP (GIP analog) are manufactured by peptide synthesis techniques (not extracted from human gut and not recombinant technology).

A screening visit will be performed including blood work, EKG and physical exam. If eligible, patients would be scheduled for three infusion visits 2 months apart, where they will receive a normal saline infusion on the first visit and GIP or GIP analog on the remaining visits. The infusion visits will begin approximately 6:45 a.m. and patients will have frequent blood sampling through an intravenous line over a period of 7 hours. An additional intravenous line will be placed for the infusion of either the normal saline, GIP or GIP analog over a period of 3 hours. Patients will be given a breakfast meal consisting of 550 calories (one egg, piece of toast with margarine, corn flakes 2% milk and a banana). They will be given 2 Extra-Strength Tylenol to determine time frame that food is emptied from stomach by measuring Tylenol levels in the blood. At the end of each study visit, patients will be given lunch, intravenous lines will be discontinued and they will be discharged to home.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GIP, Modified GIP and Normal Saline in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by National Institute on Aging (NIA) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

GIP, glucose, insulin measured frequently during infusions (time frame: baseline, 2 months, and 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00239707, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2013.
