About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Cross-over Study for the Assessment of Glucose Metabolism Changes With RVX000222 in Individuals With Pre-diabetes

This study builds on data that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has a number of potentially beneficial effects including directly modulating glucose metabolism through multiple mechanisms. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of RVX000222 on postprandial plasma glucose in male individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), during a frequently sampled oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

    capsule, 200 mg, administer with food, 100 mg twice daily 10-12 hrs apart, 31-35 days

  • Placebo, RVX000222Drug

    Also called Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in plasma glucose following treatment with RVX000222 compared to placebo

    The change in postprandial plasma glucose, defined as area under the glucose curve (AUGC) during a frequently sampled OGTT following RVX000222 treatment for 29-33 days as compared to placebo.

    Measured: 29-33 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity following treatment with RVX000222 compared to placebo

    The change in indices of insulin secretion (β-cell function) and insulin sensitivity during a frequently sampled OGTT following RVX000222 treatment for 29-33 days as compared to placebo.

    Measured: 29-33 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RVX000222 in people with Diabetes, run by Resverlogix Corp at 1 site in Australia.

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 16 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 Apr 2014. 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 Australia. 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?

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?

Change in plasma glucose following treatment with RVX000222 compared to placebo (time frame: 29-33 days). 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 Apr 2014.
