About this study

KDT501 is an orally administered product designed to help control impaired glucose and insulin regulation in patients with insulin resistance. Nonclinical studies demonstrate agonist activity of KDT501 at the G-protein coupled receptor 120 as well as other G-protein receptors. Nonclinical studies have also documented the ability of KDT501 to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation as well as reduce proinflammatory signals. These properties combined with antihyperglycemic activity and modest, partial agonist effect of KDT501 at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) receptor suggests an atypical and pleiotropic mechanism of action for KDT501.

Following providing informed consent, potential subjects will undergo screening procedures to ensure that they meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following registration on study, subjects will undergo baseline pretreatment studies, including two abdominal fat biopsies, one taken after cold challenge, as well as determination of resting metabolic rate, a 4 hour lipid tolerance test, and a 2 hour euglycemic clamp study. All pretreatment studies in registered subjects will be performed within 7 days prior to initiating therapy. On the first day of treatment (Day 0), subjects will take the first 600 mg dose of KDT501 in the clinic, followed by serum pharmacokinetic (PK) samples being obtained every hour for 6 hours after dosing. Subjects will then continue dosing as an outpatient, 600 mg po twice daily. All doses will be taken with meals (breakfast and dinner). On Day 7, subjects will return to the clinic to undergo safety and laboratory assessments, including PK. On Days 14 and 21, subjects will again return to the clinic to undergo safety and laboratory assessments. On Day 17 subjects will return to the clinic for PK studies, as noted below. Treatment in all subjects will end on Day 28. Rapid PK assessment of drug exposure, defined as AUC0-12h, will be performed following PK samples drawn at Time 0, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, and 12h on both Days 7 and 17. On Days 11 and 21 (±1day), based on the KDT501 drug exposure level, the subject will be provided instructions on dose adjustments of KDT501. The maximum allowed KDT501 exposure ceiling for all subjects enrolled is AUC0-12h = 22,500ng-hr/mL.

KDT501ExperimentalExperimental drug, KDT501, is administered at 600mg for 10 consecutive days. On days 11 and 21 (+/- 1 day), based on the KDT501 drug exposure level, the subject will be provided instructions on dose adjustment of KDT501. Dose adjustments will be administered at 800mg for 10 consecutive days, determined at day 11; followed by 1,000mg for 8 consecutive days if determined at day 21.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline of the 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at day 28.

    The change in serum glucose 2 hours following the administration of 75gm of oral glucose (2 hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)) will be calculated as the difference in 2 hour OGTT at Day 28 (±2 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 28 days (± 2 days)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

    The change in RMR will be calculated as the difference in RMR at Day 27 (±4 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 27 days (±4 days)

  2. Change in Lipid Tolerance Test

    The change in lipid tolerance test parameters will be calculated as the difference at Day 27 (±4 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 27 days (±4 days)

  3. Change in HbA1c, fructosamine, and glycated albumin

    The change in each of these assay results will be calculated as the difference at Day 27 (±4 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 27 days (±4 days)

  4. Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    The change in fasting plasma glucose will be calculated as the difference at Day 27 (±4 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 27 days (±4 days)

  5. Change in Insulin Sensitivity Based on Euglycemic Clamp Study

    The change in insulin sensitivity will be calculated as the difference at Day 27 (±4 days) vs. baseline.

    Measured: 27 days (±4 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing KDT501 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by KinDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 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 22 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 20 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 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?

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?

Change from baseline of the 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at day 28. (time frame: 28 days (± 2 days)). 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 NCT02444910, 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 20 Oct 2017.
