About this study

Official title: The Reduced Insulinotropic Effect of a Continuous Infusion Relative to a Bolus Injection of Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes is Not Caused by Rapid Tachyphylaxis

In patients with type 2 diabetes, the incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) has lost its insulinotropic activity, but more so after continuous versus bolus administration. The design was a two-way crossover design comparing repeated bolus injection and continuous infusion of GIP under hyperglycaemic clamp conditions. Patients were age- gender- and weight-matched with type 2 diabetes, first degree relatives of such patients, and healthy subjects. Investigators performed a:

  1. Oral glucose challenge;
  2. hyperglycemic clamp (8.5 mmol/l) with two repeated GIP bolus administrations (50 pmol/kg body weight at 30 and 120 min); and
  3. hyperglycemic clamp with continuous administration of GIP (2 pmol.kg-1.min-1 from 30-180 min).

To answer the question, whether rapid tachyphylaxis occurs with regard to the insulinotropic action of GIP, investigators studied type 2-diabetic patients, their first-degree relatives, and healthy controls under hyperglycaemic clamp conditions with two GIP bolus injections 90 min apart, and compared this to a continued intravenous infusion of GIP.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GIP BolusDrug

    bolus injections of synthetic human GIP (50 pmol/kg body weight) administered 30 and 120 min after commencing the hyperglycemic clamp

  • GIP ClampDrug

    hyperglycemic clamp with the continuous intravenous infusion of 2 pmol.kg-1.min-1 synthetic human GIP between 30 and 180 min

  • Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)Procedure or surgery

    an oral glucose challenge (75 g)

  • hyperglycemic clampProcedure or surgery

    a hyperglycemic clamp (capillary venous glucose concentration ~ 8.5 mmol/l)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GIP Bolus, GIP Clamp and Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Diabeteszentrum Bad Lauterberg im Harz.

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 0 inclusion and 26 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 4 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Insulin secretory response after GIP bolus or infusion. (time frame: 210 minutes). 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 4 Feb 2016.
