About this study

Official title: SGLT2 INHIBITION AND STIMULATIION OF ENDOGENOUS GLUCOSE PRODUCTION Significance - PROTOCOL 3: Role of the Renal Nerves in the Increase in EGP in Response to Glucosuria

Purpose/Objectives: Examining the effect of SGLT2 inhibition on EGP and plasma glucose concentration in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects after kidney transplantation (i.e. renal denervation) or in subjects after renal sympathectomy (63) can add insight about the possible role of a neural arc which mediates the changes in plasma glucagon and/or insulin concentration in response to glucosuria.

Read the detailed description

Purpose/Objectives: Examining the effect of SGLT2 inhibition on EGP and plasma glucose concentration in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects after kidney transplantation (i.e. renal denervation) or in subjects after renal sympathectomy (63) can add insight about the possible role of a neural arc which mediates the changes in plasma glucagon and/or insulin concentration in response to glucosuria.

Research Design/Plan: After screening, eligible subjects will receive 2 measurements of endogenous glucose production with a prime-continuous infusion of 3-3H-glucose. Each measurement will be performed on a separate day in random order after a 10-12 hour overnight fast and will last 8 hours (from 6 AM to 2 PM). After a 3-hour tracer equilibration period, each subject will receive one of the following medications in random order: (i) placebo and (ii) dapagliflozin 10 mg. Following the test medication at 9 AM, blood samples will be drawn every 20 minutes for an additional 5 hours and plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, catecholamine concentrations and tritiated glucose sp act will be measured.

Methods: Visit 1: Screening Visit 2: Endogenous Glucose Production Measurement (EGP) Visit 3: After completing the first EGP measurement, subjects will return to the Diabetes Research Unit for the second study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Endogenous Glucose Production (EGP)

    Renal transplant subjects with native kidneys intact underwent measurement of EGP with an 8 hour infusion of 3-3H-glucose on 2 separate days with the administration in random order of either dapagliflozin 10mg or placebo after 3 hours of the tracer equilibration period. The equilibration at 3 hours was considered the baseline measurement. Measurement of change in endogenous glucose production was obtained for all subjects.

    Measured: baseline and 240-300 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose

    Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus subjects only

    Measured: baseline and 240-300 minutes

  2. Change in Fasting Plasma Insulin

    Change in Fasting Plasma Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus subjects in diabetic subjects only

    Measured: baseline and 240-300 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of 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 3 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 17 Sep 2020. 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. 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 14 Jan 2020). 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?

Change in Endogenous Glucose Production (EGP) (time frame: baseline and 240-300 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 NCT03168295, which also lists 2 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 17 Sep 2020.
