About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Four-way Cross-over, Single Dose Study to Compare the Different Effect of DPP-4 Inhibitors and Sulfonylurea on the Beta Cell Function by Using "Biphase-Hyperglycemic Clamp"

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the different effects of two DPP-4 inhibitors(Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin)and the insulin secretagogue: glimepiride on first and second phase insulin secretion by using a Biphase-Hyperglycemic Clamp and to explore the different effects of the study drugs on the GLP-1 response, and the glucagon concentration which indicates alpha cell function in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

After enrollment and two weeks screening period eligible subjects will be counseled to follow a dietary program for approximately 2 wk and recorded of personal history, full clinical examination and screening blood samples.

Subjects will be randomized using a computer-generated allocation schedule to one of 12 sequences during which each subjects will be assigned to take 4 times of bi-phase hyperglycaemic clamp experiments at a randomized sequence separated by a washout period of 7-14d.

At each experimental day, the subject will take the given dose of Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin, Glimepiride and nothing for blank control two hours before the clamp experiment starts.

The hyperglycaemic clamp will be performed after an overnight fast. Subjects will be placed in a recumbent position and cannula will be inserted in a dorsal hand vein. The hand will be placed in a heating box (42C) throughout the experiment to allow frequent sampling of arterialized blood. A second cannula will be inserted in a contralateral cubital vein for glucose infusion.

At time zero (0 min), a 50% glucose bolus will be injected during 1 min to increase PG to 12mM. The glucose bolus will be calculated as:(12mM-FPG)×35 mg glucose × body weight (kg). PG will be measured bedside every 5 min and maintained at 12mM by an adjustable continuous 20% glucose infusion. After 90min, PG will be lowered down below 6mM for the islet cells to rest, then the subject will be instructed to consume 75g glucose solution orally in 5min, PG will be measured bedside every 5 min and maintained below 6mM for 40min then restart the 90min-hyperglycaemic clamp experiment. The oral period of hyperglycaemic clamp process is the same as what's done in fasting period. Blood samples will be collected in -2h, 0min, 10min, 90min in both hyperglycaemic clamp experimental process for the measurement of insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, active GLP-1, total GLP-1 and DPP-4 activity.

Thus we could evaluate the beta cell function represented by the first phase and the second phase of insulin secretion(C-peptide secretion) and alpha cell function represented by the change of glucagon concentration during the fasting period and oral period of hyperglycaemic clamp experiment and the change of active GLP-1, total GLP-1 and DPP-4 activity as well.

What is being measured

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

  1. The acute phase and second phase of insulin secretion and C peptide secretion

    The primary outcome measures are improvement in beta cell function measured as insulin secretion and C-peptide secretion during the bi-phase hyperglycaemic clamp. The first phase of insulin and C-peptide secretion is defined as the secretion between 0-10min, the second phase is defined as secretion between 20-90min of bi-phase hyperglycaemic clamp

    Measured: 1-2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Alpha cell function,GLP-1 response

    The secondary outcome measures are a relative increase in glucagon concentration which indicates alpha cell function and the GLP-1 response, DPP-4 activity and before taken the medicine and in 0, 10, 90,150,160,240min during the bi-phase hyperglycaemic clamp.

    Measured: 1-2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin and Glimepiride in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2012. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guang Ning, MD. PHD (+8621-64370045 ext. 665340, guangning@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The acute phase and second phase of insulin secretion and C peptide secretion (time frame: 1-2 months). 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 17 Dec 2012.
