About this study

Official title: SGLT2 INHIBITION AND STIMULATION OF ENDOGENOUS GLUCOSE PRODUCTION [EGP]: Can the Glucagon-like Peptide-1 [GLP-1] Receptor Agonist, Exenatide, Prevent the Increase in EGP in Response to Dapagliflozin-induced Increase in Glucosuria

Research Design/Plan: After screening, each subject will receive 1 measurements of Endogenous Glucose Production [EGP] with prime-continuous Infusion of 3-3H-glucose. After completing the EGP measurement each subject will receive a Double Tracer Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT].

Methods: Visit 1: Screening. Medical history will be obtained, physical exam performed, and pregnancy test performed.

Visit 2: Endogenous Glucose Production Measurement: The rate of EGP will be measured with 3-3H-glucose.

Visit 3: Double Tracer OGTT

Read the detailed description

Eligible subjects will receive a measurement of endogenous glucose production (EGP) with a prime-continuous infusion of 3-3H-glucose. The EGP measurement will be performed in the morning 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, subjects (20 per group) will receive one of the following medications: (i) placebo; (ii) exenatide 5 ug subcutaneously; (iii) dapagliflozin (10 mg); and (iv) dapagliflozin 10 mg plus exenatide 5 ug. Following the test medication at 9 AM, blood samples will be drawn every 15 minutes for an additional 5 hours and plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, and catecholamine concentrations and glucose specific activity will be measured.

Visit 1: Screening. Medical history \& physical exam will be performed. Blood will be drawn for fasting plasma glucose [FPG], routine blood chemistries, complete blood count [CBC], lipid profile, HbA1c, and thyroid function [TSH], Urinalysis, electrocardiogram [EKG], albumin/creatinine ratio and pregnancy test will be performed.

Visit 2: EGP Measurement: The rate of endogenous glucose production will be measured with 3-3H-glucose infusion. [3-3H]-glucose infusion will be started at 6 in the morning [AM] and continued until 2:30 afternoon [PM](5 hours after drug administration). At 6 AM a catheter will be placed into an anticubital vein and a prime (40 uCi x FPG/100)- continuous (0.4 uCi) infusion of [3-3H]- glucose will be started and continued until 2:30 PM. (5 hours after drug administration). Participant's hand will be placed in a box heated to 50-60°C (122-140°F). Baseline blood samples will be obtained at-210, -60, -50, -45, -40, -35, -30, -20, -10, and 0 . After 3.5 hours of tracer equilibration blood samples will be obtained every 10-20 minutes from 9 AM to 2 PM. Plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, cortisol, growth hormone, and catecholamine concentrations, and [3-3H]-glucose specific activity will be measured. Urine will be collected from 6 to 9 AM and from 9 AM to 2 PM. Urinary volume and glucose concentration will be measured and urinary glucose excretion rate calculated. The study will end at 2:30 PM.

Visit 3: Double Tracer Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT]: Within the week after the measurement of EGP, all subjects will have a 5-hour OGTT with measurement of plasma glucose, insulin (I), C-peptide (CP), and glucagon concentrations at -180, -6-, -5-, -45, -40, -35, -30, -20, -10, 0 and every 15-30 minutes thereafter to obtain a measure of overall glucose tolerance, insulin secretion (CP0-120/G0-120), insulin sensitivity ([Matsuda Index=MI]), beta cell function, (CP0-120/G0-120 x MI), and suppression of plasma glucagon concentration (64). At 7 AM a catheter will be placed into an antecubital vein and a prime (25 uCi x FPG/100)- continuous (0.25 uCi) infusion of [3-3H]- glucose will be started and continued until 3 PM. Urinary volume and glucose concentration will be measured and urinary glucose excretion rate calculated.

HbA1c will be measured 2x, 1 on the day of the OGTT \& 1 on the day of the EGP measurement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in EGP From Baseline to Post-oral Glucose Load.

    The difference in rate of EGP during the last hour of the study (from 240-300 minutes) between drug-treatment and placebo treatment studies represents the effect of drug treatment on EGP, which will be compared among the 3 acute drug treatments (exenatide; dapagliflozin; exenatide plus dapagliflozin this data includes change in EGP above baseline following dapagliflozin alone vs dapagliflozin/exenatide) with ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline [-35 to 0min] to the last hour post-glucose load [240-300 minutes]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Exenatide, Dapagliflozin and Exenatide and 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 24 Jul 2023. 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 24 Jul 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?

Change in EGP From Baseline to Post-oral Glucose Load. (time frame: From baseline [-35 to 0min] to the last hour post-glucose load [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 NCT03331289, 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 24 Jul 2023.
