About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study to Compare Two Methods for Determining the Renal Threshold for Glucose in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to compare the results from two methods used to determine the renal threshold for glucose excretion (defined as the lowest plasma glucose concentration at which appreciable amounts of glucose appear in the urine) in untreated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are treated with 100 mg once-daily canigliflozin for 8 days.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (patients will know if they are receiving treatment and the identity of the treatment) study that will compare renal threshold of glucose (RTG) values obtained by 2 different methods: an established method (ie, the stepwise hyperglycemic clamp method) and a new method (the mixed meal tolerance test [MMTT] method). The RTG is defined as the lowest plasma glucose concentration at which appreciable amounts of glucose appear in the urine. Each method for determining the RTG value will be performed in untreated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and in patients with T2DM who are treated with canagliflozin 100 mg once daily for 8 days. Canagliflozin (a Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitor) is currently under development to lower blood sugar levels in patients with T2DM. Patients will not take study drug (canagliflozin 100 mg overencapsulated tablets) in Part 1 of the study. In Part 2 of the study, patients will take study drug once daily on Study Days 1 through 8.

What is being measured

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

  1. RTG values using the MMTT and the stepwise hyperglycemic clamp methods

    Measured: On Days 1 and 2 (Part 1)

  2. RTG values using the MMTT and the stepwise hyperglycemic clamp methods

    Measured: On Days 7 and 8 (Part 2)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Plasma glucose (PG) concentration during the MMT and the hyperglycemic clamp procedure

    Measured: On Days 1 and 2 (Part 1)

  2. Plasma glucose (PG) concentration during the MMT and the hyperglycemic clamp procedure

    Measured: On Days 7 and 8 (Part 2)

  3. Rate of Urinary glucose excretion (UGE) during the MMTT and the hyperglycemic clamp procedure

    Measured: On Days 1 and 2 (Part 1)

  4. Rate of Urinary glucose excretion (UGE) during the MMTT and the hyperglycemic clamp procedure

    Measured: On Days 7 and 8 (Part 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Canagliflozin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 1 site in Germany.

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 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 22 Apr 2013. 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 Germany. 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 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?

RTG values using the MMTT and the stepwise hyperglycemic clamp methods (time frame: On Days 1 and 2 (Part 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01273558, 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 22 Apr 2013.
