Trial summary

Researchers hope to determine the organ (liver and/or kidney) responsible for the increase in endogenous glucose production (EGP) following the induction of glucosuria (when glucose is excreted in detectable amounts in the urine) with an SGLT2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Dapagliflozin on Hepatic and Renal Glucose Metabolism Subjects (11038)

Researchers hope to determine the organ (liver and/or kidney) responsible for the increase in endogenous glucose production (EGP) following the induction of glucosuria (when glucose is excreted in detectable amounts in the urine) with an SGLT2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin.

Read the detailed description

Researchers will measure the rate of hepatic and renal glucose production following dapagliflozin administration to determine the site of increase in EGP, liver versus kidney. Researchers will measure the rate of whole body glucose production with 3-3H-glucose (a form of radioactive glucose) and renal glucose production by renal vein catheterization in T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) and in lean healthy NGT (normal glucose tolerance) individuals. Because the increase in EGP is associated with an increase in plasma glucagon concentration and renal glucose production is stated to be unresponsive to glucagon, the investigators anticipate that the liver will be responsible, in part, for the increase in EGP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dapagliflozin in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 7 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 4 Mar 2024. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jun 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Endogenous Glucose Production Measurement (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 Mar 2024.
