About this study

Official title: GLP-1 Inhibits Prandial Antro-duodeno-jejunal Motility in Humans: Native GLP-1 Compared With Analogue ROSE-010 in Vitro

The inhibitory effect of low dose GLP-1 is investigated on prandial motility of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum in vivo in humans. Supplementary in vitro studies on the mechanism of action of the GLP-1 inhibition of motility as carried out on muscle strips from the upper gastrointestinal tract in man.

Read the detailed description

Twelve healthy volunteers will undergo antroduodenojejunal manometry. Baseline recording with infusion of saline for 1 hour is compared with infusion of GLP-1 0.7 and 1.2 pmol per kg minute for another 1 hour. Plasma GLP-1 and GLP-2 is measured by RIA. Responses to GLP-1 will be measured after food intake as prandial response to GLP-1. The outcome will be evaluated as change in motility index from baseline to meal-stimulated conditions and during influence of GLP-1. Further in vitro studies of gastrointestinal muscle strips, precontracted with bethanechol or electric field stimulation, are planned to investigate the response to GLP-1 or GLP-1 analogue ROSE-010. GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor immunoreactivity is localized by immunohistochemistry. Receptor mediated mechanisms are studied with GLP-1 receptor blocker exendin(9-39)amide, nitro-monomethyl arginine to block nitric oxide synthase and tetrodotoxin to block sodium channels and nerve conduction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Motility index (measure of contraction amplitude x duration; area for mmHg x sec)

    Inhibition of prandially increased motility index (motor activity in the antrum and upper small intestine).

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Smooth muscle relaxation induced by GLP-1

    Separate experiments in vitro: GLP-1-induced inhibition of bethanechol-stimulated smooth muscle strips to characterize GLP-1's pharmacological action.

    Measured: 6 hours

  2. Presence of GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptors in gastric and small bowel tissue

    Separate experiments in vitro: Antibody staining of gastric and small bowel tissue for receptors of GLP-1 and GLP-2

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GLP-1 and Intravenous saline in people with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, run by Uppsala University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 9 Aug 2018. 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 Sweden. 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 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?

Motility index (measure of contraction amplitude x duration; area for mmHg x sec) (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 NCT02731664, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 9 Aug 2018.
