About this study
Official title: Pilot Study of Safety and Efficacy of Combined Use of Dipeptidyl-peptidase Inhibitor (Sitagliptin) and Proton Pump Inhibitor (Pantoprazole) to Prevent Beta-cell Apoptosis and Promote Islet Regeneration in Islet Transplant Recipients With Early Graft Dysfunction
We aim to study if the administration of medications to increase the secretion of hormones from the intestines can improve glycemic control, reduce insulin use and promote β-cell regeneration/expansion in subjects with type 1 diabetes following islet transplantation who are back using small doses of insulin because of early graft dysfunction. We believe that the results will enable us to understand whether these drugs could be useful in islet transplant recipients, particularly if glycemic control deteriorates.
Read the detailed description
This is a single centre non-randomized pilot study. Subjects will be recruited from the current cohort of islet transplant recipients at the University of Alberta.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether the combination of sitagliptin and pantoprazole can restore insulin independence in previously insulin independent islet transplant recipients experiencing early graft dysfunction. The study will also evaluate the safety of the combination drug therapy.
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes

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

Insulin independence was defined as no insulin use for at least one week, HbA1c < 6.0%, fasting plasma glucose < 7.0 mmol/l, fasting or stimulated c-peptide ≥ 0.5 ng/ml. In addition capillary blood glucose levels could not be >7.8 mmol/l (fasting) or > 10 mmol/l (post-prandial) on more than three occasions in the preceding week. Mean daily insulin use was calculated from the three days prior to study visits. Blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed using the iPro device and Carelink software (Medtronic, Mississauga, ON, CA).

Measured: 6 months
Number of Participants With Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) < 7 mmol/l After 6 Months of Therapy
Measured: 6 months
Mean Daily Insulin Use (U/Day) After 6 Months of Therapy
Mean daily insulin use was calculated from the three days prior to study visits and performed at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months.
Measured: 6 months
Change From Baseline of GLP-1 Level After One Month of Therapy
Fasting Glucagon-Like Peptide (GLP-1) levels were measured at baseline and one month. Blood samples were collected in p700 vacutainers (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) containing a Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) protease inhibitor cocktail to measure total and active GLP-1 in duplicate using a commercially available ELISA (kit manufacturer) and expressed as the ratio of active:total GLP-1.

Gastrin levels were measured at baseline and at one month by method (manufacturer).
Measured: Baseline and One month
HbA1c Plasma Laboratory Value for Participants After 6 Months of Therapy
HbA1c was measured at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months using method (manufacturer.
Measured: 6 months
Acute Insulin Responses to Arginine After 6 Months of Therapy
An intravenous arginine stimulation test (AST) [Ryan:2002cg] was performed at baseline, 6, and 9 months to assess Graft function.
Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
Insulin Independence After the 3 Month Washout Period
Insulin independence was defined as no insulin use for at least one week, HbA1c < 6.0%, fasting plasma glucose < 7.0 mmol/l, fasting or stimulated c-peptide ≥ 0.5 ng/ml. In addition capillary blood glucose levels could not be >7.8 mmol/l (fasting) or > 10 mmol/l (post-prandial) on more than three occasions in the preceding week. Mean daily insulin use was calculated from the three days prior to study visits. Blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed using the iPro device and Carelink software (Medtronic, Mississauga, ON, CA).
Measured: After the 3 month washout period
Insulin Dose (U/Day)
Measured: After the 3 month washout period
Acute Insulin Response to Arginine After the 3 Month Washout Period
An intravenous Arginine stimulation test (AST) [Ryan:2002cg] was performed at baseline, 6, and 9 months to assess Graft function. The Arginine is a proxy for insulin secretory reserve (Robertson:2004br)(Rickels:2007cg) and correlates with islet mass in the context of islet allo-transplant (Ryan:2002cg), auto-transplant (Teuscher:1998eu) and hemipancreatectomy (Seaquist:1992iv). An increase in Arginine (AIRarg) would have suggested an increase in beta cell mass.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Pantoprazole and Sitagliptin in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of Alberta at 1 site in Canada.
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 10 inclusion and 10 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 18 Jun 2015. 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 Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 18 Jun 2015). 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?
The Primary Endpoint Will be Insulin Independence After 6 Months of Therapy. (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 14 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 NCT00768651, 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 18 Jun 2015.
