Trial summary

The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. The investigators will study individuals with particular genotypes of the human organic cation transporter, (hOCT2), and the multidrug and toxin extrusion transporters, MATE1, MATE2-K to… Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects self-identify racial background, identify themselves, parents and four grandparents as Caucasian and or Chinese.
  • Subject status is healthy volunteer from the SOPHIE cohort
  • Subjects over 18 years old

About this study

Official title: Effect of Genetic Variation in the Transporter OCT2, MATE1 and MATE2-K on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Metformin

The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. The investigators will study individuals with particular genotypes of the human organic cation transporter, (hOCT2), and the multidrug and toxin extrusion transporters, MATE1, MATE2-K to test the hypothesis that genetic variation in hOCT2, hMATEE1 and hMATE2-K are associated with variation in the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of the antidiabetic agent, metformin.

Read the detailed description

In the proposed study, a genotype to phenotype strategy is employed to study the role of the transporters, OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K and related variants in response and disposition to a known substrate, metformin. Recently, one polymorphic variant in MATE1 (PMT4302, g.-66T>C) showed decreased promoter activity by 40-45% (p<0.01), and one MATE2-K variant (PMT5597, g.-130G>A) showed increased promoter activity by 30% (p<0.05), compared to the reference. Both are the most common promoter variants in each gene (the frequencies of PMT4302: 32.1% and 23.1% in Caucasian and Asian; PMT5597: 26.2% and 48.5% in Caucasian and Asian) (unpublished data, Giacomini group). Specifically, the investigators will measure renal clearance of metformin, and plasma glucose and insulin levels, in healthy Caucasian and Asian subjects who carry either the reference or variant alleles in order to evaluate the effects of these variants on metformin disposition and response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal clearance of Metformin based on genotypes

    Renal clearance of Metformin of study participants using reference genotype for transporters of OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2-K. In addition, Cmax for plasma glucose will be analyzed for all study participants.

    Measured: Study day procedures 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Metformin in people with Healthy, run by University of California, San Francisco.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 2 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Renal clearance of Metformin based on genotypes (time frame: Study day procedures 48 hours). 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 2 Jul 2014.
