About this study

Official title: Reducing Postprandial Hyperglycemia With Adjuvant Premeal Pramlintide and Postmeal Insulin in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of pramlintide given pre-meal and insulin given just after a meal vs. standard therapy of pre-meal insulin on post-prandial glucose excursions.

The secondary objective is to examine the effect of pramlintide and insulin on glucagon suppression in type 1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Following approval by the Institutional Review Board at Baylor College of Medicine 8 adolescents (6 males, 2 females) with type 1 diabetes were recruited to the open-labeled, non-randomized, crossover study. Two male subjects were African American; the remaining subjects were all Caucasian. Six subjects were on insulin pump therapy, and the two on insulin glargine, self-administered at -90minutes. Subjects had their last meal before 12 midnight, and stayed at our research center from 7AM until completion of the study at 2PM. Study A was done before study B.

Basal insulin doses of the subjects were kept constant through studies A and B. No subject was prescribed pramlintide any time in the past prior to participation in this study.

Study A:Insulin therapy was continued as per prescribed home regimen without pramlintide. Subjects self-administered a rapid-acting insulin analog (aspart or lispro) bolus based on their individual insulin: carbohydrate ratio, following which they received 12oz (591ml) of Boost High Protein drink (360 calories, 50gms carbohydrate, 12 gms fat) at 9AM (0 minutes). The Boost was consumed in 5 - 7 minutes. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of blood glucose (BG) levels at -60, -30, -10, and 0 minutes, and every 10 minutes thereafter for the first hour, every 20 minutes for the second hour, and every 30 minutes until the study ended. Blood samples were also collected throughout the study at multiple time points for the analysis of insulin and glucagon levels. Subjects were provided with lunch at 2PM, and discharged.

Study B:The study protocol was identical to study A except 30mcg of pramlintide was administered subcutaneously immediately prior to drinking the Boost at 9AM, and no insulin was given before the meal but was given 15 minutes after the meal (9:15AM) and the dose was reduced by 20%. Study B was conducted within 3 to 4 weeks of study A.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • InsulinDrug

    Also called aspart or lispro

    Insulin therapy was continued as per prescribed home regimen without pramlintide. Subjects self-administered a rapid-acting insulin analog (aspart or lispro) bolus based on their individual insulin: carbohydrate ratio, before meal.

  • Pramlintide + InsulinDrug

    Also called Pramlintide Acetate

    30mcg of pramlintide was administered subcutaneously immediately prior to the meal and insulin was given 15 minutes after the meal. The dose of insulin was reduced by 20%.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the Mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Blood Glucose Concentration in Subjects Treated With Pramlintide + Insulin, Compared to Insulin Alone

    Blood glucose concentration in terms of mean AUC (0 to 240 minutes) was determined in subjects treated with Pramlintide + Insulin vs. Insulin alone

    Measured: 0 to 240 minutes post-dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measure of Glucagon Concentration in Subjects Treated With Pramlintide + Insulin, Compared to Insulin Alone.

    Glucagon concentration in terms of mean AUC (0 to 120 minutes) was determined in subjects treated with Pramlintide + Insulin vs. Insulin alone

    Measured: 0 to 120 minutes post-dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Insulin and Pramlintide + Insulin in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Montefiore Medical Center 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 10 Jul 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jul 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Assess the Mean Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Blood Glucose Concentration in Subjects Treated With Pramlintide + Insulin, Compared to Insulin Alone (time frame: 0 to 240 minutes post-dose). 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 NCT00442767, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jul 2018.
