About this study

Official title: A First-in-Human, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 2-Part Study of Single Ascending Doses in Healthy Volunteers and Multiple Ascending Doses in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of PATAS

This is 2-part study. The primary objective of Part 1 is to evaluate safety and tolerability of single subcutaneous (SC) doses of PATAS in healthy subjects. The secondary objective of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single SC doses of PATAS in healthy subjects. The primary objectives of Part 2 are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 4 weekly SC doses of PATAS in subjects with T2D; and to determine the PK and pharmacodynamics (PD) of 4 weekly SC doses of PATAS in subjects with T2D. Secondary objectives of Part 2 include evaluation of the potential effect of multiple SC doses of PATAS on markers of glycemic control, as measured by glucose levels, insulin levels, and other metabolomic biomarkers and characterization of of adverse event (AE) profiles of the various dose levels of PATAS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PATAS Trifluoroacetate in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by AdipoPharma LLC at 3 sites 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 8 inclusion and 36 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tarek Hiwot, M.D. (44 7391 537 158, tarek.hiwot@adipopharma.us), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 1B: Safety (time frame: 29 days). The study lists 12 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 29 Sep 2026.
