About this study

Official title: Bile Acid and Lipid Metabolism in Patients With Drug-induced Acute Insulin Resistance

This is a prospective observational study with a primary goal of monitoring changes in circulating bile acid profiles and parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism prior, during, and after cancer treatment with agents that directly impair insulin action: PI3K inhibitors, AKT inhibitors, and mTOR inhibitors. Patients will not receive any cancer treatment specifically for the purposes of this study. Rather, this study will be based on treatment decisions made independently by participants' oncologists according to standard of care or other clinical trial protocol. This study seeks to enroll at least 25 participants each for PI3K inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors and, once available for open-label treatment, AKT inhibitors.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of drug-induced acute insulin resistance (diaIR) on the ratio of 12α-hydroxylated bile acids (12-HBA) to 12α-hydroxylated bile acids (non-12-HBA) in cancer patients treated with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (PI3Ki), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors (mTORi), and AKT inhibitors (AKTi) once possible. Specifically, this study will: (1) verify the induction of diaIR by monitoring changes in fasting ± postprandial blood glucose, insulin/c-peptide, and fructosamine; and (2) assess qualitative and quantitative changes in the circulating bile acid (BA) pool (including bile acid intermediary metabolites) by mass spectrometry in the fasting ± postprandial states prior to and then at 2 and 4 weeks after starting treatment. This study focuses in particular on determining changes in the 12α-hydroxylated bile acids to 12α-hydroxylated bile acids, as well as each of these subclasses and their individual substituents as a proportion of the overall BA pool.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drug-induced acute insulin resistance due to PI3K inhibitor, AKT inhibitor, or mTOR inhibitorDrug

    Participants will be treated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors by their treating oncologist based on standard of care. This study will prospectively monitor bile acids and parameters of insulin resistance before and during treatment with these drugs.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients treated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors for cancerPatients with cancer being treated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors will be studied prospectively for the impact of treatment on bile acid metabolism as a function of drug-induced acute insulin resistance. Treatments will be selected by patients' treating oncologist based on standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio of 12-HBA to non-12-HBA

    Insulin resistance is expected to cause a rise in total bile acids, but with 12-alpha-hydroxylated bile acid (12-HBA) species outpacing non-12-alpha-hydroxylated bile acid (non-12-HBA) species, leading to a rise in the 12-HBA:non-12-HBA ratio. This would indicate that insulin resistance per se is sufficient to alter 12-HBA balance, and thus 12-HBA may be a useful therapeutic target for management of the macrovascular complications of insulin resistance. BA profile and levels of BA intermediates 7-HCO and 7,12-diHCO will be measured by LC-MS/MS when fasting +/- after 2-hour mixed meal tolerance test.

    Measured: 1-2 Months

  2. Insulin resistance

    Determine the timing and extent of PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor treatment on parameters of insulin resistance: glucose, insulin, c-peptide, and adiponectin when fasting +/- following 2-hour mixed meal tolerance test

    Measured: 1-2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lipid profile

    The primary endpoint is the outcome of the secondary objective: namely, evaluation of the effect of PI3Ki/AKTi/mTORi-induced insulin resistance on the lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids) when fasting +/- after 2-hour mixed meal tolerance test

    Measured: 1-2 months

  2. Surrogate markers of BA signaling

    Determine the timing and extent of PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor treatment on parameters of bile acid signaling: fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). We expect that a shift in BA pool composition (especially as regards 12-HBA vs non-12-HBA) will impact differentially on FGF-19 and GLP-1 levels.

    Measured: 1-2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PI3K Gene Mutation and AKT Gene Mutation, run by Columbia University 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 19 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Ratio of 12-HBA to non-12-HBA (time frame: 1-2 Months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Jan 2025.
