About this study

Official title: Intensive Exenatide Therapy in Hyperglycemic Patients Admitted to the Coronary Intensive Care Unit

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intravenous Exenatide therapy in hyperglycemic patients admitted to the coronary intensive care unit.

Read the detailed description

Diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) have particularly poor outcomes. Clinical practice guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association for the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes call for treatment to achieve preprandial glucose <110 mg/dL, a maximum daily target <180 mg/dL, and a post-discharge hemoglobin A1c <7%. Initiation of aggressive insulin therapy is also warranted to achieve blood glucose <150 mg/dL during days 0-3 and 80-110 mg/dL when possible thereafter. To date, no studies have been conducted assessing the efficacy of intravenous exenatide administration on achieving glucose lowering in hyperglycemic coronary ICU patients.

  • ExenatideDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Median Glucose Values From Steady State Through 48 Hours or Until Discharge.

    Time to steady state was defined as the time from the initiation of drug infusion to first glucose value that is ≤140 mg/dl. Median glucose values were then calculated for each patient from the start of steady state through 48 hours or until discharge.

    Measured: 1-48 hours

  2. Time to Steady State

    Time to steady state was defined as the time from the initiation of drug infusion (Exenatide or Insulin) to first glucose value that is ≤140 mg/dl.

    Measured: Start of infusion through 48 hours or until discharge

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rates of Hypoglycemia and Severe Hypoglycemia

    Total number of patients having at least one hypoglycemic episode (blood glucose less than 70 mg/dl), including episodes classified as severe (blood glucose less than 50 mg/dl)

    Measured: 1-48 hours

  2. Serious Adverse Events (Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, and Non-fatal Stroke Through 30 Days)

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Exenatide in people with Hyperglycemia and Acute Coronary Syndromes, run by Saint Luke's Health System 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 20 Nov 2014. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 20 Nov 2014). 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?

Median Glucose Values From Steady State Through 48 Hours or Until Discharge. (time frame: 1-48 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00736229, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Nov 2014.
