Trial summary

The incretin effect is markedly reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes. Data support the notion that this deficiency is a consequence of the diabetic state. However, the impact of insulin resistance on the incretin effect in obese individuals who uphold a normal glucose tolerance (NGT) despite their insulin… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact of Obesity and Insulin Resistance on the Incretin Effect in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Healthy Subjects

The incretin effect is markedly reduced in patients with type 2 diabetes. Data support the notion that this deficiency is a consequence of the diabetic state. However, the impact of insulin resistance on the incretin effect in obese individuals who uphold a normal glucose tolerance (NGT) despite their insulin resistant state remains to be elucidated. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the separate impact of one of the cornerstones of type 2 diabetic pathophysiology, namely insulin resistance, on the incretin effect in lean and obese patients with type 2 diabetes and in two matched normal-glucose tolerant groups of healthy control subjects.

Being tested
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), Isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Incretin Effect and Insulin Resistance, 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 Jan 2010. 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 Denmark. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incretin effect (time frame: 2 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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.
