Trial summary

The phenomenon that oral glucose elicits a higher insulin response than does intravenous (iv) glucose, even at identical plasma glucose (PG) profiles (isoglycemia), is called the incretin effect. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the incretin effect has been shown to be markedly reduced or even abolished. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Incretin Effect in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis With and Without Secondary Diabetes Mellitus

The phenomenon that oral glucose elicits a higher insulin response than does intravenous (iv) glucose, even at identical plasma glucose (PG) profiles (isoglycemia), is called the incretin effect. In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the incretin effect has been shown to be markedly reduced or even abolished. It is not known whether the reduced incretin effect in T2DM is a primary event leading to T2DM or if it is merely a consequence of the diabetic state. To answer this question the investigators plan to estimate the incretin effect in 8 patients with secondary diabetes mellitus (DM) to chronic pancreatitis (CP) and compare it to the incretin effect of 8 patients with CP and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Eight patients with T2DM and 8 healthy control subjects are studied for comparison. The incretin effect is measured by a 50-g oral glucose tolerance test and an isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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 13 Jan 2010.
