Trial summary

Administration of the incretin hormone, Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1 (GLP-1), has been shown to enhance insulin secretion and suppress glucagon secretion in response to meal ingestion. In addition, GLP-1 also delays gastric emptying and has been shown to enhance gastric accommodation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Cross Over, Placebo Controlled, Multiple-dose Study to Evaluate the Effects of LAF237 on Gastric Emptying, Gastric Volume and Satiety in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

Administration of the incretin hormone, Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1 (GLP-1), has been shown to enhance insulin secretion and suppress glucagon secretion in response to meal ingestion. In addition, GLP-1 also delays gastric emptying and has been shown to enhance gastric accommodation. These characteristics make GLP-1 an ideal therapy for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, because of its rapid breakdown by dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV), GLP-1 has to be administered by continuous intravenous infusion. This would be a drawback in clinical usage. LAF237 is a synthetic inhibitor of DPP IV which has been shown to raise GLP-1 levels and potentiate meal-induced insulin secretion and glucagon suppression. However, the effects of LAF237 on gastric emptying and satiety are at present unknown. The investigators propose to study the effects of LAF237 on gastric emptying, gastric volume and satiety in patients with T2D in addition to examining the direct and indirect (mediated via insulin and glucagon) of this compound on postprandial glucose metabolism.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing LAF237 = vildagliptin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 inclusion and 0 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 23 Mar 2011. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Gastric Emptying. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Mar 2011.
