About this study

Official title: Effect of Sitagliptin on Glycemic Control, Post-prandial Glucagon, and Inflammation in Type 1 Diabetics

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of sitagliptin on overall blood glucose concentrations in Type I Diabetic subjects. The study also aims to evaluate post meal glucagon concentrations in Type I Diabetic subjects (a possible mechanism of reduced blood glucose concentrations) and indices of oxidation stress in the plasma of these subjects.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis is that Sitagliptin will improve overall blood glucose, fasting blood glucose, and glycemic excursions in patients with Type I Diabetes. In addition, sitagliptin will likely suppress indices of oxidative stress in patients. The study will investigate proposed mechanisms of improved glucose concentrations, including enhanced effect of endogenous GLP-1 and suppression of glucagon.

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline in mean glucose concentrations

    The primary endpoint of the study is to detect the change from baseline in mean glucose concentrations as measured by both HbA1c, and mean glucose over the three days of continuous glucose monitoring.

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Glycemic changes

    Glycemic changes including standard deviations of the glycemic levels, fructosamine, and the duration of time spent in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  2. Post meal hyperglycemia

    Post meal hyperglycemia will be measured as area under the curve (AUC).

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  3. Changes in post prandial glucose, glucagon, insulin, c-peptide, DPP-IV, GIP and, GLP-1 concentrations following meal challenge.

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  4. Changes in NF kappa B in the fasting state.

    Measured: baseline and 3 months

  5. Change in NFkappaB following meal challenge.

    Measured: baseline and 3 Months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted4 Dec 2012 (estimated)
  2. Study startJun 2011
  3. Primary completionSep 2013
  4. Study completionSep 2013

Why it stopped: Study funding was for 1 year to a fellow who graduated in early stages of enrollment. While 6 patients were enrolled, many patients didn't finish the study and therefore little data was collected and no results will be entered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sitagliptin in people with Diabetes Type I, run by University at Buffalo 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 9 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2022. 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. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 from baseline in mean glucose concentrations (time frame: baseline and 3 months). 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 24 Mar 2022.
