About this study
Official title: Clinical Protocol to Investigate the Efficacy of Amlexanox for Treatment of Glucose and Lipid Abnormalities in Obese Type 2 Diabetics
This study involves the use of a research drug, Amlexanox, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Amlexanox is taken orally in a pill three times a day. The investigators plan to continue therapy for a period of 12 weeks followed by a follow-up 4 weeks after therapy ends. The investigators will evaluate the changes in metabolic parameters (e.g. blood cholesterol, liver function, insulin resistance) and body composition characteristics (e.g. the pattern of fat distribution in the body). Seven eligible subjects in this study will also be evaluated for a change in liver disease by a liver biopsy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Amlexanox in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, run by University of Michigan 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 May 2024. 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. 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 17 Jan 2024). 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?
HbA1c (time frame: 12 weeks). 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?
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 7 May 2024.
