About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Dose-ranging, Single-dose Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DBPR108 in Healthy Male Subjects

The study is being performed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of single oral doses of DBPR108 in healthy male subjects.

Read the detailed description

This study represents the first administration of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitor DBPR108 to humans to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties following single oral doses in healthy subjects.

DPP4 is a validated drug target for the treatment of human type 2 diabetes. Objectives of the study will be to characterize the safety and tolerability of single doses of DBPR108; to characterize the single dose PK of DBPR108 in plasma and urine; to characterize the single dose PD of DBPR108 on glucose, glucagon, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 activity, and total and active forms of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in plasma levels and insulin and C-peptide in serum levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    There were 4 mild adverse events observed during the course of study.

    Measured: Adverse events were collected from Day -1 (baseline) through the end of the study, up to Day 7.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Profile of Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC From 0 to Infinity)

    Plasma samples were used to determine the AUC from time 0 to infinity for DBPR108. The placebo group is not included in the table below; this outcome measure only evaluated the DBPR108 groups.

    Measured: predose (0 hr), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hrs post dose

  2. Profile of Pharmacokinetics - Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Plasma samples were used to determine the Cmax for DBPR108. The placebo group is not included in the table below; this outcome measure only evaluated the DBPR108 groups.

    Measured: predose (0 hr), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hrs post dose

  3. Profile of Pharmacokinetics - Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Plasma samples were used to determine the Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration for DBPR108. The placebo group is not included in the table below; this outcome measure only evaluated the DBPR108 groups.

    Measured: predose (0 hr), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hrs post dose

  4. Change of Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) Activities Between 48 Hrs Post Dose and 0 hr Predose

    Change of plasma DPP4 activity at 48 hrs post dose from predose (0 hr). The values were computed as areas under the DPP4 activity-time curve using ANCOVA model, in which the unit of the activity is pmol/min.

    Measured: predose (0 hr) and 48 hrs post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DBPR108 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 19 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 28 Aug 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 Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 28 Aug 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability (time frame: Adverse events were collected from Day -1 (baseline) through the end of the study, up to Day 7.). 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 28 Aug 2014.
