About this study

Official title: Physiopathology of Type 2 Diabetes Initiated After Sixty Years Old: Characterization of a Diabetic-related Incretinpathy in Aging Subjects.

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, absolute or relative insulin deficiency, hyperglucagonemia, increased hepatic glucose production, frequently accelerated gastric emptying and obesity. The known effects of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on the metabolism are stimulation of insulin secretion, inhibition of glucagon secretion and hepatic glucose production, reduction in gastric emptying and modulation of the appetite. T2DM have disturbances in this system, providing a rationale for therapeutic use of GLP-1 in T2DM. Furthermore, GLP-1 seems to exert trophic effects on the beta-cell.

Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors represent a new class of oral anti-hyperglycemic agents for the treatment of T2DM. The therapeutic utility of these antihyperglycemic agents rests on their ability of to increase active (intact) levels of incretin peptides, including GLP-1 and GIP.

Twenty four T2DM volunteers will be evaluated by a meal tolerance test (MTT) for incretin hormone measurements, and by the hyperglycemic clamp followed by an arginine test for assessing the beta-cell function and the acute insulin response. Others parameters as body composition and basic biochemistry will be also evaluated at Laboratory of Investigation on Metabolism and Diabetes - LIMED / State university of Campinas, Brazil.

T2DM in elderly are behaving differently. Elderly patients have no increase in liver production of glucose; when obese, have normal insulin secretion, however, display extreme resistance to its action. In non obese individuals, the concentration of glucose necessary for insulin secretion is increased and the action is standard. These findings suggest therefore that the approach should be differentiated treatment for these individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distinctive curves of glucose, C peptide, insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP and ghrelin during a standardized mixed meal tolerance test, in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects

    Measured: within 1 month from screening visit

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Distinctive whole-body insulin sensitivity, as estimated by hyperglycemic clamp in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects.

    Measured: within 1 month from screening visit

  2. Distinctive beta-cell function (beta-cell secretion and sensitivity), as measured by hyperglycemic clamp, in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects

    Measured: within 1 month from screening visit

  3. Distinctive acute insulin response as measured by arginine stimulation test in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects.

    Measured: within 1 month from screening visit

  4. Distinctive DPP-IV activity as measured by spectrophotometer in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects.

    Measured: within 1 month from screening visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Insulin Resistance, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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 4 Feb 2011. 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 Brazil. 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 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?

Distinctive curves of glucose, C peptide, insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP and ghrelin during a standardized mixed meal tolerance test, in T2DM subjects after sixty-five years old in comparison with middle-age T2DM subjects (time frame: within 1 month from screening visit). 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 NCT00843232, 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 4 Feb 2011.
