  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male/females aged between 18 and 60 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and 12-lead ECG. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator agrees and documents that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures and objectives.

In questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone > 40 milli international unit/mililiter (mL) and estradiol <40 picogram/mL (<147 picomoles/Liter) is confirmatory. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment.
  • Child-bearing potential females must agree to use one of the contraception methods. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until follow up visit.
  • Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.

  • Criteria Based Upon Diagnostic Assessments
  • A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening.
  • A positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen.
  • A subject with a positive urine cotinine test result will be excluded from the study unless in the judgment of the Investigator the subject will be able to abstain from using tobacco for the duration of the in-house period of the study.
  • A positive test for human immuno virus antibody.
  • Other Criteria
  • Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56 day period.

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Exploratory Study to Investigate the Feasibility of Administering Exenatide by Continuous Subcutaneous Infusion to Healthy Subjects

This is an open-label study to investigate the feasibility of administering exenatide by continuous subcutaneous infusion to healthy subjects. Study will consist of two parts i.e. Part A and B. In Part A 2 healthy subjects will receive exenatide infusion over 24 hours followed by a follow-up visit 10 to 14 days after discharge from clinic. In Part B approximately 6 healthy subjects will receive subcutaneous infusions of exenatide for maximum of 7 days followed by a follow-up visit 10 to 14 days after discharge from clinic.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Exenatide in people with Obesity, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 8 inclusion and 18 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 19 Oct 2017. 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 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?

Characterization of interruptions or deviations from prescribed exenatide infusion in Part A (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 9 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 NCT01857895, 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 19 Oct 2017.
