About this study

Official title: Quantification of the Contribution of GLP-1 to Mediating Insulinotropic Effects of DPP-4 Inhibition With Vildagliptin in Healthy Subjects and Type 2-diabetic Patients Using Exendin [9-39] as a GLP-1 Receptor Antagonist

To determine the extent to which the effects of treatment with LAF237 100 mg QD on glucagon secretion are mediated by Glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) in type 2 diabetic patients and healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Design:

This two center study employs a double blind, placebo controlled, cross-over study in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and healthy volunteers with comparable age, gender and BMI distribution. Subjects (40 patients and 40 healthy volunteers, referred to as subjects in remaining part of the document) will be randomized to 100 mg LAF 237 QD or placebo for two 10-day treatment periods in a cross-over design. Thirty two (32) efficacy evaluable patients are required to complete the study.

Each subjects will participate in an approximate 14-day screening period, a 2-week wash-out period from metformin, a 1-day baseline period and a 10-day treatment period followed by a 2-4 week wash-out period and a second treatment period. An end of study evaluation will be conducted following the completion of the second treatment period or in the event of early withdrawal or termination of the patient.

At screening, subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will begin a weight maintenance diet containing 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 20% fat. Patients will receive guidance on dietary maintenance at screening and will stay on this diet from screening to the end of study evaluation. Following the screening visit, enrolled patients will start a 2 week drug wash-out period where oral hypoglycemic medication will be discontinued.

During the drug wash-out period, all patients will monitor their glucose levels two times a day (prior to breakfast and dinner) using a glucometer. Additionally, at one week intervals, patients will perform a seven point blood glucose test, where glucose measurements will be made prior to and two hours after each meal, and prior to bed. Weekly telephone calls will be made to each patient, where the results of these glucose tests will be recorded. Patients will be discontinued from the study during the wash-out period if fasting glucose levels exceed 200 mg/dl on any two consecutive measurements.

Study groups in NCT02639130
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VildagliptinActive comparatorAfter a screening examination, patients were treated with vildagliptin and participated in meal tests (day 9 and 10, respectively), in a crossover design. Between the two treatment periods, there was a ≥ 5 week wash-out period. Experimental procedures: Meal test, determination of the rate of gastric emptying. On days 9 and 10 of treatment, the volunteers underwent a mixed meal (one scrambled egg, a slice of ham, 10 g of butter, two slices of toast, 20 g strawberry jam, and 200 ml of unsweetened tea) test in the morning after fasting overnight. 13C-octanoic acid (110 µl/100 mg) was used as label. Meal tests were performed (days 9 and 10), without and with a high dose intravenous infusion of exendin [9-39].

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio of integrated insulin secretion rates (total AUC ISR) over 4 hour following the meal

    Measured: 4 hour following the meal

  2. total AUC Glucose over 4 hour following the meal

    Measured: 4 hour following the meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Exendin [9-39] in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Diabeteszentrum Bad Lauterberg im Harz at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 16 Aug 2016. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

Ratio of integrated insulin secretion rates (total AUC ISR) over 4 hour following the meal (time frame: 4 hour following the meal). 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 NCT02639130, 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 16 Aug 2016.
