About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of PBI-4050 in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study of the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050 800 mg daily oral administration in type 2 diabetes patients with metabolic syndrome.

A total of 12 patients will initially be enrolled for study participation. A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will continuously review data obtained from the 12 patients. When the 12 patients have completed at least one month of study treatment, the DSMB will meet and determine whether additional patients may be enrolled or the study should be stopped. If the safety is deemed acceptable to continue with the study, the study will enroll a maximum of 36 patients.

Read the detailed description

This Phase 2 study will be performed by 1 site in Canada. The total duration of study participation for each patient is at least 18 weeks and comprises 6 study visits.

Patients who choose to participate in the extension study will be in the study for a total of up to 32 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PBI4050 in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, run by Liminal BioSciences Ltd. at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 13 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 11 Apr 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 Canada. 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?

Number of subjects with abnormal laboratory values and/or adverse events that are related to treatment (time frame: 7 months). 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 11 Apr 2017.
