Trial summary

We want to investigate the mechanisms of extrapancreatic effects on gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal. In order to do so we will perform oral glucose tolerance tests and isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusions in total pancreatectomised patients and in healthy controls. Read more about this study

About this study

We want to investigate the mechanisms of extrapancreatic effects on gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal. In order to do so we will perform oral glucose tolerance tests and isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusions in total pancreatectomised patients and in healthy controls.

Read the detailed description

In the current project we wish to identify the possible contribution of extrapancreatic effects on gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD). GIGD reflects the percentage of an individual's glucose disposal following oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) which is caused by the oral route of glucose administration. In healthy subjects GIGD amounts to ~60%. GIGD describes not only the impact of the incretin effect (insulinotropic substances released upon intestinal stimulation) but includes all factors affecting glucose disposal differently during oral vs. iv administration of glucose (including neural reflexes, activation of afferent nerves in the intestinal mucosa, differences in glucagon secretion, hepatic glucose production and first-pass hepatic uptake of glucose, differences in portal and venous blood glucose concentrations and/or at the present unknown factors. It is likely that the incretin effect (pancreatic effect) constitutes a major contributor to GIGD, but so far it has been impossible to discriminate between pancreatic and extrapancreatic mechanisms underlying GIGD

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD)

    GIGD will be calculated based on the amounts of glucose utilised during the two glucose administrations forms, OGTT and IIGI (GIGD (%) = 100%×(glucoseOGTT-glucoseIIGI)/glucoseOGTT)

    Measured: Calculated when the study days are all complete. approximately in 6month

  2. plasma Glucagon

    Measured: Glucagon will be measured at time points: -30,-15,0,10,20,30,50,70,90,120,150,180 min on all days.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. endogenous glucose production

    calculated based on infusions of stable isotope marked glucose

    Measured: Endogenous glucose production will be calculated based on blood samples at time points: -30,-15,0,10,20,30,50,70,90,120,150,180 min on all days.

  2. Incretin Hormones

    GIP, GLP-1

    Measured: incretin hormone levels will be measured at time points: -30,-15,0,10,20,30,50,70,90,120,150,180 min on all days.

  3. Satiety, hunger, appetite

    Will be measured with visual analogue scales (VAS)

    Measured: Satiety, hunger and appetite will be measured at time points:0,30,60,90,120,150,180 min during each day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes, run by University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

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 20 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 Dec 2015. 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 Denmark. 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.

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?

Gastrointestinal-mediated glucose disposal (GIGD) (time frame: Calculated when the study days are all complete. approximately in 6month). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02006459, 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 2 Dec 2015.
