Trial summary

GLP-1 is an incretin hormone which is discharged from the intestines after food intake. The hormone is known for its powerful insulinotropic and trophic effects on the beta cells in the pancreas and is currently used as an anti-diabetic agent in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

About this study

Official title: Endothelial and Metabolic Effects of GLP-1 in Coronary Circulation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

GLP-1 is an incretin hormone which is discharged from the intestines after food intake. The hormone is known for its powerful insulinotropic and trophic effects on the beta cells in the pancreas and is currently used as an anti-diabetic agent in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

GLP-1 receptors are widely distributed including on the endothelial cells in both coronary and skeletal muscle circulation and on the myocardium. GLP-1-receptor studies on knock-out mice have shown that they exhibit a reduced myocardial contractility and reduced diastolic heart function. GLP-1 also shows beneficial cardiovascular effects in patients with acute myocardial infarctions and dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy in that the left ventricle function and endothelial dysfunction improves after GLP-1 treatment via insulin-independent mechanisms. Preclinical studies indicate that exogenous administrated GLP-1 in physiological concentrations can improve perfusion but this has never been tested in humans. It is also unknown whether GLP-1 can directly increase the glucose/metabolite uptake across both cardiac and skeletal muscle in an insulin independent manner. Unpublished studies do however indicate that the improvement in the cardiovascular system is largely dependent upon a high blood glucose level and only partially dependent upon the antiglycemic effects of GLP-1.

In the proposed studies the investigators wish to examine the physiological role of GLP-1 receptor stimulation both with regard to perfusion, metabolic improvement as well as cardiac inotropic. These studies will be conducted in both healthy and in T2DM patients.

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. 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?

Coronary blood flow (time frame: 10 minutes after I.A. GLP-1). 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 NCT00923962, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 Sep 2012.
