About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label, Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Exenatide SR for the Prevention of Diabetes After Kidney Transplantation.

Researchers are trying to determine if an anti-diabetes medication, called Exenatide SR, is well tolerated in kidney transplant patients with elevated blood glucose levels, and if it's effective in preventing diabetes.

Read the detailed description

New diabetes can develop after transplant and may affect a transplanted kidney's health and a recipient's overall health. Currently, patients who are pre-diabetic are encouraged to exercise and lose weight. Researchers are planning to test whether an addition of this medication will lead to better results and more effectively prevent diabetes in patients who already have high blood sugars.

Exenatide SR is medication given by weekly injection. It increases insulin release in response to a meal and slows digestion. This medicine is already in use and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in patients with diabetes. However, it has not been approved for this indication; the FDA has allowed the use of this drug in this research study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression From Prediabetes to Diabetes

    Number of subjects to have an increase in HbA1C or fasting blood sugar to diabetic range based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria after kidney transplantation

    Measured: 12 months after transplantation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Progression From Prediabetes to Diabetes

    Number of subjects to have an increase in HbA1C or fasting blood sugar to diabetic range based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria after kidney transplantation

    Measured: 24 months after transplantation

  2. Creatinine

    A creatinine blood test measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product that forms when creatine, which is found in the muscle, breaks down. Creatinine levels in the blood can provide the doctors with information about how well the kidneys are working. As measured in mg/dL units.

    Measured: From enrollment, up to 20 months post-enrollment

  3. Hemoglobin A1c

    Hemoglobin is a protein within red blood cells. As glucose enters the bloodstream, it binds to hemoglobin, or glycates. The more glucose that enters the bloodstream, the higher the amount of glycated hemoglobin. An A1C level below 5.7 percent is considered normal.

    Measured: 12 and 24 months after kidney transplantation

  4. Incidence of Mesangial Expansion

    Number of subjects to experience mesangial expansion >20%. Mesangial expansion occurs due to increased deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, for example fibronectin, into the mesangium. Accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins then occurs due to insufficient degradation by matrix metalloproteinases.

    Measured: 12 and 24 months after kidney transplantation

  5. Incidence of Death

    Number of subjects to experience death by any cause

    Measured: From enrollment, up to 20 months post-enrollment

  6. Graft Loss

    The number of subjects to experience graft loss. Primary graft failure is defined as no evidence of engraftment or hematological recovery of donor cells, within the first month after transplant, without evidence of disease relapse. Secondary graft failure refers to the loss of a previously functioning graft, resulting in cytopenia involving at least two blood cell lineages.

    Measured: From enrollment, up to 20 months post-enrollment

  7. Adverse Events for Exenatide SR Intervention

    Total number of adverse events reported by the subjects that received the Exenatide SR Intervention

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Exenatide SR in people with Pre Diabetes, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 11 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 28 Oct 2022. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 28 Oct 2022). 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?

Progression From Prediabetes to Diabetes (time frame: 12 months after transplantation). 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 28 Oct 2022.
