About this study

Official title: Inhibition of Food Intake in Response to Oral GLP-1 and Peptide YY3-36: a Phase 1 Study

Interaction of GLP-1 and PYY3-36 in the inhibition of food intake in healthy subjects

Read the detailed description

PYY3-36 and GLP-1 are two classical gastrointestinal peptides, which are released into the circulation during meals from L-cells of the distal gut; there is compelling evidence that each participates in the control of appetite regulating individual meal sizes in healthy subjects, but also in patients with obesity or diabetes type II. The regulation of human eating habits is, however, highly complex and our understanding of appetite control is far from complete. In many areas our knowledge is rather rudimentary; little is known, to give an example, about the importance of individual signals and their interactions.

From studies in animals and humans it is known that individual satiety signals can interact: contributions of glucagon and CCK produced functionally synergistic inhibitions of feeding in rats, that is, simultaneous injection of the two peptides inhibited feeding significantly more than the sum of their individual effects. In contrast, we have been unable to show in healthy volunteers any interaction between GLP-1 and CCK33; the simultaneous infusion of CCK33 and GLP-1 resulted in an infra-additive reduction in meal size, which led us to suggest that the two peptides could even interact antagonistically.

To further explore potential interactions between these two well-known satiety signals, we plan to investigate the effects of individual doses of PYY3-36 and GLP-1, and their interaction in the control of food intake and satiety in healthy male subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study of Anti Obesity Agent, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 14 Jan 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 Switzerland. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Energy consumption (time frame: 1 hour food consumption). 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 NCT00822705, 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 14 Jan 2009.
