Trial summary

Medications like olanzapine have been associated with the development of weight gain and diabetes in some patients. It is not known if the increased risk of developing diabetes is a direct effect on insulin or simply related to weight gain. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Olanzapine Inhibit the Secretory Response to Insulin Resistance?

Medications like olanzapine have been associated with the development of weight gain and diabetes in some patients. It is not known if the increased risk of developing diabetes is a direct effect on insulin or simply related to weight gain.

We hope to learn in this study whether or not olanzapine directly slows down insulin secretion from the pancreas, thereby increasing the risk of developing diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Objectives: The use of atypical antipsychotics has been associated with increased weight gain, the development of type-2 diabetes, and, in rare cases, diabetic ketoacidosis. It is not clear if these changes are a direct function of antipsychotics on either insulin action or insulin secretion, or simply related to their ability to induce weight gain in a population at increased risk to develop hyperglycemia. The objective of this investigation is to determine if treatment with the atypical antipsychotics olanzapine impairs the ability of the pancreatic beta cell to increase its insulin secretory response to graded increases in plasma glucose concentration in non-diabetic, insulin resistant individuals. In addition, we will compare the range of insulin-mediated glucose uptake (IMGU) in olanzapine-treated versus non-antipsychotic treated patients.

Research Plan and Methods: 120 subjects with psychiatric disorders will be enrolled; 60 patients on olanzapine and 60 patients with similar psychiatric diagnoses on a different antipsychotic medication (ziprasidone, risperidone or aripiprazole). All subjects will have a fasting plasma glucose concentration <126 mg/dL, and on no medication with a direct effect on IMGU. Subjects will be admitted to the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) at Stanford Medical Center and evaluated by an insulin suppression test (IST) to determine their IMGU. Subjects with a steady state plasma glucose (SSPG) concentration during the IST that is >180 mg/dL will be defined as being insulin resistant. From this population of subjects, 15 patients on olanzapine and 15 patients not on any antipsychotic, will return to the GCRC to determine their glucose-stimulated insulin secretory dose-response curves (GS-ISR). The GS-ISR at the same glucose concentration will be compared between the subjects on olanzapine (n=15) and the not on an antipsychotic (n=15) by analysis of variance. Analyses of the 120 subjects screened for insulin resistance will compare 1) the means and distribution of the SSPG concentrations in olanzapine and non-olanzapine treated patients with psychiatric diagnoses; and 2) the means of the two experimental groups with psychiatric diagnoses to Dr. Reaven's data base of volunteers without psychiatric disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome X, run by Stanford University 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 5 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 22 Mar 2021. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Mar 2021.
