About this study

Official title: Effect of Genetic Variants in MATE1 and OCT3 Transporters on the Pharmacodynamics of Metformin in African Americans With Type II Diabetes Mellitus.

The current study is part of a large multi-investigator grant to look at the pharmacogenetics of a number of membrane transporters. The investigators will study individuals with particular genotypes of the human organic cation transporter, (hOCT3), and the multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter, MATE1 to test the hypothesis that genetic variation in hOCT3 and hMATE1 are associated with variation in the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of the antidiabetic agent, metformin.

Read the detailed description

To investigate the potential association of polymorphic genetic variants MATE1 and OCT3 with altered response to metformin, a genotype to phenotype strategy is employed. Specifically, the investigators will evaluate this hypothesis in African-Americans, a population which has a high incidence of type 2 diabetes and which has high variant allele frequencies (44.5% for MATE1-66T>C and 11.3% in OCT3-81G>delGA) relative to other ethic groups. To assess the effects of these variants on metformin response, the investigators will measure metformin renal clearance (pharmacokinetics of metformin), and plasma glucose and insulin levels (pharmacodynamic response) in healthy and diabetic patients who carry either the reference or variant alleles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Renal Clearance of the Metformin

    To test whether individuals with genetic variants of transporters OCT3 and MATE1 exhibit altered pharmacokinetics of metformin.

    Measured: 24 hours post-dose

  2. Plasma glucose

    To test whether individuals with genetic variants of transporters OCT3 and MATE1 exhibit altered glucose lowering response to metformin.

    Measured: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes after glucose administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Metformin in people with Healthy and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 12 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 23 Oct 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 United States. 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 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?

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?

Renal Clearance of the Metformin (time frame: 24 hours post-dose). 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?
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 23 Oct 2014.
