What participants receive

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

  • AZD1656Drug

    Dose titration of oral suspension during 2 days to a tolerable dose given twice daily. Subjects will thereafter be treated with this dose for another 6 days. On day 5 and 8 the dose will be given as a single dose

  • GlucagonDrug

    1 mg injected 3 hr post AZD1656 morning dose on day 5 alt. day 8

What is being measured

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

  1. P-Glucose levels

    Measured: Repeated sampling during the 24 hour period on day 5 and 8

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety and tolerability (AE, BP, pulse, plasma glucose, laboratory variables, weight and ECG)

    Measured: Frequent measurements during the study period

  2. Pharmacokinetic variables (Area under the plasma conc-time curve from time 0 to 24 hours post dose (AUC0-24), maximum plasma conc(Cmax), time to reach maximum plasma conc(tmax), terminal elimination half-life and apparent oral clearance

    Measured: Repeated sampling during the 24 hour period on day 5 and 8

  3. Pharmacodynamics (P-Glucose, S-Insulin and S-C-peptide)

    Measured: Repeated sampling during the 24 hour period on day 5 and 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD1656 and Glucagon in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AstraZeneca 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 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 7 May 2009. 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 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?

P-Glucose levels (time frame: Repeated sampling during the 24 hour period on day 5 and 8). 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 7 May 2009.
