About this study

Official title: The Effect of TRADJENTA ® (LINAGLIPTIN) on Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Insulin Resistance in Obese Type 2 Diabetes Subjects

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, prospective randomized double blind, parallel and placebo-controlled study to evaluate oxidative stress and inflammation before and after treatment with linagliptin for 12 weeks. The study enrolls type 2 patients with diabetes.

Being tested
Linagliptin, Placebo
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LinagliptinDrug

    Also called TRADJENTA

    5 mg daily oral tablets of linagliptin

  • PlaceboDrug

    matching placebo giving orally daily

Linagliptin 5mg per dayActive comparatorPatients will be treated for 12 weeks with Linagliptin 5mg once daily.
Receives: Drug: Linagliptin

What is being measured

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

  1. JNK-1 Protein in MNC

    JNK-1 protein in MNC before and after linagliptin use as compared to placebo.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. IL-1β mRNA Levels

    Comparing IL-1B between Linagliptin group and placebo group based on the PCR test, between week 0 and week 12.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12

  2. Oxidative Stress (as ROS Generation Level)

    oxidative stress (ROS generation level) following linagliptin. ROS generation measurement by chemiluminescence of PMN cells

    Measured: Week 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12

  3. Insulin Sensitivity by Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic Clamp

    Insulin sensitivity is measured with HE clamp. Glucose Infusion Rate was titrated to maintain blood glucose concentration at the fasting glucose level. Plasma samples for glucose was obtained at 10-minute intervals starting 30 minutes before the clamp, to quantitate rates of whole-body glucose disposal. Difference from baseline at 12 weeks is calculated and compared to placebo arm

    Measured: At baseline and week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Linagliptin in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University at Buffalo 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 21 Feb 2023. 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. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Feb 2023). 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?

JNK-1 Protein in MNC (time frame: Week 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12). 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 21 Feb 2023.
