What participants receive

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

    10 ug/kg bolus, 4 ug/kg/h infusion

  • PhysostigmineDrug

    0,12ug/kg/min

  • Placebo SodiumDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Study the effect of anticholinergic drugs on insulin sensitivity by assessment of glucose infusion rate during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.

    Measured: After Insulin bolus, following will be measured; p-glucose (every 5 minutes), blood samples (every 30 minutes), pulse (every 5 minutes the first hour then every 10 minutes), blood pressure will be measured (the same as pulse).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Study the effect of cholinergic stimulation on insulin sensitivity by assessment ofglucose infusion rate during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.

    Measured: measured; p-glucose (every 5 minutes), blood samples (every 30 minutes), pulse (every 5 minutes the first hour then every 10 minutes), blood pressure will be measured (the same as pulse).

  2. Study the possible difference in effect of cholinergic (physostigmine) andanticholinergic (atropine) drugs on insulin sensitivity in a lean and abdominal obese subgroup of subjects.

    Measured: measured; p-glucose (every 5 minutes), blood samples (every 30 minutes), pulse (every 5 minutes the first hour then every 10 minutes), blood pressure will be measured (the same as pulse).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Atropine and Physostigmine in people with Insulin Resistance, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 Mar 2009. 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 Sweden. 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?

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Study the effect of anticholinergic drugs on insulin sensitivity by assessment of glucose infusion rate during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. (time frame: After Insulin bolus, following will be measured; p-glucose (every 5 minutes), blood samples (every 30 minutes), pulse (every 5 minutes the first hour then every 10 minutes), blood pressure will be measured (the same as pulse).). 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 13 Mar 2009.
