About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Four-week, Multi-center, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of EGT0001442 in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With an Ascending Dose Safety and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation Period

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of EGT0001442 on fasting plasma glucose after 28 days of treatment in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The study also assessed the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of EGT0001442, the effect on weight and HbA1c as well as the effect EGT0001442 has on the amount of glucose produced in the body by the urine.

Read the detailed description

This was a phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of

EGT0001442. The study included two segments:

Segment 1 was a single center, open labeled, ascending dose study in 4 groups of 5 diabetic subjects per group who received 5, 10, 20, or 50 mg of EGT0001442 capsules orally once daily for 28 days. The subjects were in clinic for the first 3 days for safety and PK evaluation.

Segment 2 was a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. One hundred and thirty one subjects in 5 parallel groups of approximately 25 diabetic subjects per group were randomly assigned to receive oral EGT0001442 at 5, 10, 20, or 50 mg/day or placebo once daily for 28 days in an outpatient setting.

What participants receive

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

  • EGT0001442Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline at Week 4 for Segment 2 of the Study

    Fasting glucose levels were measured at four time points; At day -2, day 1, day 27 and day 29 (24-h after the last dose). Baseline is defined as the mean of FPG values on day -2 and day 1. End of treatment is defined as the mean of FPG values on day 27 and day 29. Changes in the FPG during the study period was calculated by subtracting the Baseline FPG from End of Treatment FPG.

    Measured: Baseline; Day -2 and Day 1. End of Treatment: Day 27 and Day 29

  2. Pharmacokinetics of EGT0001442 (Cmax) at 4 Dose Levels at Week 4

    Blood samples were collected during Segment 1 at pre-dose and at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h (day 2), and 48 h (day 3) post dose for the determination of EGT0001442. Plasma concentrations of EGT0001442 were measured using a validated HPLC/MS-MS method and PK parameters were calculated by standard noncompartmental methods.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 48 h post-dose

  3. Pharmacokinetics of EGT0001442 (AUC 0-t and 0-24) at 4 Dose Levels at Week 4

    Blood samples were collected during Segment 1 at pre-dose and at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h (day 2), and 48 h (day 3) post dose for the determination of EGT0001442. Plasma concentrations of EGT0001442 were measured using a validated HPLC/MS-MS method and PK parameters were calculated by standard noncompartmental methods.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 48 h post-dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in the Body Weight From Baseline at Week 4

    Changes in the body weight during the study period was calculated by subtracting body weight on day 1 from body weight at the end of treatment on day 29.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 29

  2. Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) From Baseline at Week 4

    HbA1c levels were measured at two time points; on day 1 and day 29 (end of treatment). Changes in the HbA1c level during the study period was calculated by subtracting HbA1c level on day 1 from HbA1c level at the end of treatment (day 29)

    Measured: Baseline and Day 29

  3. Change in Urinary Glucose Excretion From Baseline to Day 1 and Day 28

    Urinary glucose levels were measured at three time points; on Day 0 (baseline), Day 1 and Day 28 (end of treatment). Changes in the urinary glucose level during the study period was calculated by reducing the baseline urinary glucose level (Day 1) from urinary glucose level at end of treatment (Day 28) (i.e urinary glucose level on Day 28 minus urinary glucose level on Day 1).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1 and Day 28

  4. Change in FPG Following Cessation of Treatment

    The mean change in FPG following cessation of treatment was obtained by calculating the difference between FPG values obtained on End of treatment (average of FPG values on days 27 and 29) and on Post Treatment (average of FPG values on days 41 and 43).

    Measured: Days 27/29 to Days 41/43

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EGT0001442 in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Theracos at 12 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 16 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Canada. 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 20 Jul 2011). 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?

Changes in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) From Baseline at Week 4 for Segment 2 of the Study (time frame: Baseline; Day -2 and Day 1. End of Treatment: Day 27 and Day 29). The study lists 3 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 16 Jun 2021.
