Trial summary

This research is being done to evaluate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone) on insulin release and to examine whether there is extra insulin release when GLP-1 is not allowed to be rapidly inactivated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibition on GLP-1 Induced Insulin Secretion and Glucose Turnover During Mild Stable Hyperglycemia in Young and Old Normal Volunteers

This research is being done to evaluate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone) on insulin release and to examine whether there is extra insulin release when GLP-1 is not allowed to be rapidly inactivated.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the present proposal is to 1) examine the role of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-4) inhibition on insulin release during a hyperglycemic clamp while GLP-1 is being infused and, 2) further elucidate the role of the metabolite of GLP-1, that is GLP-1 9-36 amide (GLP-1m). During stable and very reproducible elevated plasma glucose levels the effect of increased active incretin levels with DPP-4 inhibitors should result in increased plasma insulin levels. Therefore the aim of this protocol is to document whether plasma insulin levels are increased following GLP-1 infusion in the presence or absence of DPP-4 inhibitors. Additionally, the investigators have shown that some improvement in glucose homeostasis during GLP-1 administration is due in part to the metabolite of GLP-1, i.e. GLP-1 (9-36) amide (GLP-1m). Therefore, the investigators will also test the role of the latter by infusing GLP-1m when the volunteers are being treated with DPP-4 inhibitors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Januvia in people with Glucose Homeostasis, run by Johns Hopkins 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2017. 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 phase mean?

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 12 Jul 2017). 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?

Insulin Release Rate and Hepatic Glucose Release (time frame: One year). 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 12 Jul 2017.
