Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: 25 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 25non-diabetic subjects matched for age, gender and degree of obesity will be studied. The diabetic subjects will be between 40 and 60 years of age and will have a body mass index of < or =35 kg/m2. Diabetic subjects treated according to ADA guidelines will be eligible for study including a blood pressure < 140/90, LDL cholesterol < 130 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol >40 mg/dl and triglycerides <200 mg/dl. All nondiabetic subjects will not have a history of diabetes in their first degree family members. None of the subjects will have any overt evidence of cardiac, renal, pulmonary or hepatic disorder nor will they be engaging in regular vigorous physical activities. All subjects will undergo a resting ECG and a treadmill ECG test to ensure that they do not have active or occult coronary artery disease unless such testing had been completed within six months of enrollment and reported as normal.

Who may be able to join

  • Males and females
  • Age 40-60 years
  • BMI< or = 35 kg/m2
  • Diabetic subjects with HbA1c concentrations of < or = 8%.
  • Diabetic subjects will be either on diet and lifestyle therapy alone, or monotherapy with metformin or sulphonylureas (except glyburide).
  • All diabetic subjects should be on stable dose oral agent therapy for 3 months prior to enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular disease.
  • Subjects with suspected or overt autonomic neuropathy.
  • Diabetic subject on thiazolidinediones, insulin, GLP-1 based therapies (exenatide or sitagliptin), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, glyburide or combination antidiabetic drug therapies.
  • Diabetics with microalbuminuria.

About this study

Official title: Effects of Hyperglycemia on Myocardial Perfusion in Humans With and Without Type 2 Diabetes: Modulation by Glucagon-Like-Peptide-1

The overall goal of this proposal is to determine the effects of acute hyperglycemia and its modulation by Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) on myocardial perfusion in type 2 diabetes (DM). This study plan utilizes myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) to explore a) the effects of acute hyperglycemia on myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve in individuals with and without DM; and b) the effects of GLP-1 on myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve during euglycemia and hyperglycemia in DM. The investigators will recruit individuals with and without DM matched for age, gender and degree of obesity. The investigators will measure myocardial perfusion at rest and during vasodilator stress (to ascertain coronary flow reserve) while subjects are under controlled pancreatic clamp conditions during euglycemia (glucose ~100 mg/dl) and hyperglycemia (glucose ~250 mg/dl) in the presence and absence of concomitant GLP-1 infusion. The investigators believe that the translational significance of their studies is immense, impacting upon both acute and chronic cardiovascular disease manifestations. The effect of glycemic control on cardiovascular outcomes, morbidity and mortality remains an area of active investigation, fueled by the recent conflicting results of several large clinical trials (ACCORD, United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), ADVANCE, VADT). If the investigators find that hyperglycemia is associated with altered myocardial perfusion, the mechanistic implications in the prevention and management of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases in DM will be groundbreaking. Furthermore, if GLP-1 augments myocardial perfusion (as it does in the peripheral vasculature), the therapeutic benefits for prevention of cardiovascular events in this predisposed population are clear.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 7 Jul 2015. 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.

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?

To determine whether hyperglycemia alters myocardial perfusion in subjects with type 2 diabetes (time frame: Nov 2009-2011). 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 NCT01021865, 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 7 Jul 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
