About this study

Official title: Intravenous Exenatide (Byetta) for the Treatment of Perioperative Hyperglycemia: Rollover Phase I/II Trial

The purpose of this project is to study if intravenous Exenatide is effective at maintaining normal blood glucose levels and preventing low blood glucose levels during surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, block randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study. Subjects will be randomized in equal proportions to one of three treatment arms: placebo of normal saline solution, 0.27 ng/kg/min (0.066 pmol/kg/min) IV Exenatide, and 0.41 ng/kg/min (0.099 pmol/kg/min) IV Exenatide. We will use a block number of 30 (please see power analysis) so that balance between each of the three groups will be maintained over the enrollment period. We will stratify the randomization scheme to ensure balance of diabetics and non-diabetics within the groups.

Being tested
Exenatide 0.27 ng/kg/min, Exenatide 0.41 ng/kg/min, Placebo

What participants receive

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

  • Exenatide 0.27 ng/kg/minDrug

    Also called Byetta

    Exenatide to be infused intravenously at 0.27 ng/kg/min (0.066 pmol/kg/min) for a duration of 3 to 6 hours.

    • Induction of anesthesia will be equal to Intubation time. Infusion will begin at this time point (+ or - 3 minutes).
    • Blood samples will be obtained prior to intubation and then 10 and 30 minutes after drug initiation and every 30 minutes (+ or - 2 minutes) thereafter until the infusion is stopped. The drug infusion will be stopped at extubation. Blood will then be sampled every 30 minutes (+ or - 2 minutes) post extubation for 2 hours, and once 24 hours after extubation.
    • Blood plasma levels will be collected (8-10 mls) for analysis of GLP-1, Glucose, Potassium, Insulin, Glucagon, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Cortisol, and free fatty acids (FFA).

    Exenatide to be infused intravenously 0.41 ng/kg/min (0.099 pmol/kg/min) for a duration of 3 to 6 hours Induction of anesthesia will be equal to Intubation time. Infusion will begin at this time point (+ or - 3 minutes).

    • Blood samples will be obtained prior to intubation and then 10 and 30 minutes after drug initiation and every 30 minutes (+ or - 2 minutes) thereafter until the infusion is stopped.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Normal Saline Solution

    Intravenous Placebo of NSS infused at same rate as drug comparator. Induction of anesthesia will be equal to Intubation time. Infusion will begin at this time point (+ or - 3 minutes).

    • Blood samples will be obtained prior to intubation and then 10 and 30 minutes after drug initiation and every 30 minutes (+ or - 2 minutes) thereafter until the infusion is stopped.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary Objective is to Determine the Ability of Intravenous Exenatide to: Maintain Intraoperative Euglycemia in Subjects With Initial Blood Glucose < 126 mg/dL in Surgical Subjects as Compared to Placebo,

    Logistic regression analysis will be utizlized to determine maintenance of euglycemia (yes v no) for our primary analysis. A standard area under the curve (AUC) analysis will be performed for each time point to map out drug deposition. Assuming a standard 2 compartment model, 10 subjects per group is sufficient to accurately predict mean AUC. Our primary analysis should provide ample statistical power.

    Measured: Baseline and 90 minutes after starting infusion;

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Exenatide 0.27 ng/kg/min and Exenatide 0.41 ng/kg/min in people with Euglycemia and Hypoglycemia, run by Thomas Jefferson University 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 11 inclusion and 27 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 21 Jan 2022. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jan 2022). 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?

The Primary Objective is to Determine the Ability of Intravenous Exenatide to: Maintain Intraoperative Euglycemia in Subjects With Initial Blood Glucose < 126 mg/dL in Surgical Subjects as Compared to Placebo, (time frame: Baseline and 90 minutes after starting infusion;). 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 21 Jan 2022.
