About this study

Official title: A Trial to Assess the Effect of Liraglutide on Postprandial Triglyceride Levels in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate whether a new compound, liraglutide, reduces the level of lipids (fat), including cholesterol, in the blood of type 2 diabetics, following a meal with high fat content.

Being tested
liraglutide, placebo
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • liraglutideDrug

    In the first 3-week period, the treatment will be one week with 0.6 mg, one week with 1.2 mg and one week with 1.8 mg liraglutide. Subsequently, a wash-out period of 3 to 9 weeks occurs and then a second period of 3 weeks' treatment with placebo. At the end of each of the 2 treatment periods, a high fat meal test will be performed.

  • placeboDrug

    In the first 3-week period, the treatment will be with placebo. Subsequently, a wash-out period of 3 to 9 weeks occurs and then a second period of one week with 0.6 mg, one week with 1.2 mg and one week with 1.8 mg of liraglutide. At the end of each of the 2 treatment periods, a high fat meal test will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUC0-8h (triglyceride), the area under the triglyceride-concentration-time curve in the interval 0-8 hours following a meal with a high fat content

    Measured: after 3 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. FFA (Free Fatty Acid), VLDL (Very Low Density), and apoB48: AUC0-8 hours after meal with a high fat content

    Measured: after 3 weeks of treatment

  2. Glucose, insulin, C-peptide and glucagon: AUC0-8 hours after meal with a high fat content

    Measured: after 3 weeks of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing liraglutide in people with Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Denmark.

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 10 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 26 Jan 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 Denmark. 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 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?

AUC0-8h (triglyceride), the area under the triglyceride-concentration-time curve in the interval 0-8 hours following a meal with a high fat content (time frame: after 3 weeks of treatment). 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 NCT00993304, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Jan 2017.
