About this study

Official title: Reducing Hypoglycemic, Pro-coagulant and Pro-atherothrombotic Responses and Preventing Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure in Type 1 DM. The Effects of Glucagon-like Peptide-1

The hypotheses to be tested in this application is: GLP-1 will acutely protect arterial endothelial function and reduce pro-atherothrombotic and pro-coagulant effects of repeated hypoglycemia in T1DM.

Read the detailed description

The naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 when co-administered during hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in non-diabetic individuals can reduce the deleterious effects of hypoglycemia on the vasculature. We have shown that IV infusion of GLP-1 during a single moderate episode of hypoglycemia can preserve endothelial function and protect the vasculature from pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory effects in healthy individuals.

It is unknown whether GLP-1 could protect the vasculature during episodes of repeated hypoglycemia and whether GLP-1 would have protective effects in T1DM individuals.

Being tested
Glucagon-like peptide-1, Placebos

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Glucagon-like peptide-1 in people with Type1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore 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 22 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Nov 2025. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 the level of catecholamines in plasma (time frame: 3 years). 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 10 Nov 2025.
