About this study

Official title: Effect of Cycloset on Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Inadequately Controlled on GLP-1 Analogue Therapy

Purpose This study will examine the effect of the addition of Cycloset upon glucose metabolism (glycemic control including post prandial glucose metabolism) in individuals with inadequately controlled (HbA1c 7.5-10.0) type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are already on Bydureon (exenatide once weekly) or Victoza (liraglutide once daily) as part of their standard care.

Both a mechanistic rationale and empirical experimental evidence implicate a beneficial interaction between bromocriptine and the incretin mimetics (GLP-1 analogs) upon postprandial hyperglycemia in insulin resistant states. One of the actions of the incretin mimetics such as the GLP-1 analogs is to stimulate postprandial beta cell insulin secretory response to plasma glucose (see drug labeling information; www.fda.gov). Thus the combination of Cycloset that is working as a post prandial insulin sensitizier with therapies that increase post prandial insulin would be expected to provide complimentary glucose lowering effects. To date, however, no such studies investigating the interactive effects of a GLP-1 analog and Bromocriptine-QR (QR=extended release) (Cycloset) have been conducted in humans.

Condition - Type 2 Diabetes. Intervention - Cycloset. Phase - Phase 4

Study Type: Interventional Study Design: Treatment, Single Group Assignment, Open Label, N/A, Safety/Efficacy Study

Official Title: Effect of Cycloset on Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Inadequately Controlled on GLP-1 Analogue Therapy

Read the detailed description

This is a single-site, prospective, cohort study that will assess the effect of Cycloset as add-on therapy in adult subjects with T2DM that is inadequately controlled (HbA1c 7.5% to 10.0%) on GLP-1 analog therapy with either exenatide (Bydureon) once weekly or liraglutide (Victoza) once daily.

Entry criteria will be checked at the screening visit. All qualified subjects will undergo baseline studies including non-invasive hemodynamic testing for assessment of aortic stiffness and pulse wave velocity, assessment of body weight composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), assessment of endothelial function using the Endo-PAT device, measurement of cytokines and inflammatory biomarkers in the peripheral blood and urine, assessment of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in white blood cells isolated from a peripheral whole blood sample, a 5-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMT) for assessment of postprandial glucose metabolism and 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring.

Following completion of all the baseline studies as above, subjects will be started on Cycloset, 0.8 mg/day in addition to their stable dose of Bydureon (exenatide) (2mg/week) or Victoza (liraglutide) (1.2-1.8 mg/day), and the dose will be increased by 0.8 mg/day every week to a maximum of 3.2 mg/day, or as tolerated to a minimum of 2.4 mg/day.

Subjects will return at months 1, 2, 3, and 4 for interim medical history, body weight, HbA1c, and FPG (Fasting plasma glucose). Postural blood pressure measurements will be obtained with the subject lying down and then after standing for 5 minutes at each of the visits. At month 4, all of the baseline studies detailed above will be repeated.

All tests will be performed in the Clinical Research Center at the Texas Diabetes Institute/University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio.

What is being measured

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

  1. HbA1C

    The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the addition of Cycloset on glycemic control in inadequately controlled (HbA1c 7.5-10.0) T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) patients who are already on Bydureon (exenatide once weekly) or Victoza (liraglutide ) as part of their standard care.

    An additional co-primary objective of the study is to examine the effect of Cycloset on postprandial glucose metabolism.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  2. Glucose Metabolism During Mixed Meal Tolerance Test

    The objective of this study is to examine the effect of the addition of Cycloset on glycemic control in inadequately controlled (HbA1c 7.5-10.0) T2DM patients who are already on Bydureon (exenatide once weekly) or Victoza (liraglutide ) as part of their standard care.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Endothelial Function,

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on endothelial function. This is measured by using pulse pressure.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  2. Body Composition

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on body weight composition.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  3. Percentage Body Fat

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on body fat content

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  4. Blood Pressure

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on blood pressure.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  5. Mean Arterial Blood Pressure

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on change in mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

  6. Arterial Stiffness (AS)

    To assess the potential beneficial effect of Cycloset on arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness is calculated by the measurement of pulse pressure, where Pulse pressure = SBP - DBP (Where SBP is systolic blood pressure and DBP is diastolic blood pressure) The calculated value is used as a predictor of cardiovascular disease. Higher values indicate that cardiovascular disease is more likely.

    Measured: Change from baseline to four to five months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cycloset in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 14 inclusion and 12 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 21 Jun 2019. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 21 Jun 2019). 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: Change from baseline to four to five months). 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 21 Jun 2019.
