Trial summary

Over the years, numbers of cardioprotective drugs have been evaluated to attenuate lethal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries. There is little study whether sitagliptin protects against endothelial dysfunction induced by IR injury in humans. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preventive Effects of Sitagliptin on Endothelial Dysfunction Induced by Forearm Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Model

Over the years, numbers of cardioprotective drugs have been evaluated to attenuate lethal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries. There is little study whether sitagliptin protects against endothelial dysfunction induced by IR injury in humans.

Read the detailed description

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a novel insulinotropic peptide which is rapidly degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). In addition to its attractive merit in type 2 diabetes, interest in the cardioprotective effects of GLP-1 has been increased with various reports and evidence. Previously, the investigators could show exenatide, GLP-1 receptor agonist protects ischemic/reperfusion injury-induced endothelial dysfunction through opening of KATP (ATP-sensitive potassium) channels in human ischemic/reperfusion injury model. But, recent clinical studies showed 2 different DPP-4 inhibitors, alogliptin and saxagliptin, did not decrease major adverse cardiovascular events even though improving glycemic control. The investigators will investigate the role of sitagliptin in human ischemic/reperfusion (IR) injury model of forearm conductance vessels as previous described method.

What participants receive

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

  • SitagliptinDrug

    Also called Januvia

    The brachial FMD before and after IR injury will be assessed. After randomization, study medication will be treated. In 2 hours later, the brachial FMD before and after IR injury will be assessed again. All volunteers had a wash-out period of 7 days. Seven days later, the subjects returned to crossover study medication (ie, sitagliptin or placebo), and the protocol described above was repeated.

Study groups in NCT02406950
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SitagliptinExperimentalAll participant will exam brachial artery endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). After then, pneumatic cuff wiil be inflated to 200 mmHg for 15 minutes to induce brachial artery ischemia. At the end of ischemia, 15 minutes of reperfusion was performed to induce reperfusion injury. After ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, brachial artery FMD will be measured again. After randomization, sitagliptin group will be treated by single dose of sitagliptin (Januvia) 50mg. In 2 hours later, brachial artery FMD measurement, IR injury and brachial artery FMD measurement will be measured again.
Receives: Drug: Sitagliptin
PlaceboPlacebo comparatorAfter brachial artery FMD measurement, IR injury for each 15 minutes will be performed, and brachial artery FMD will be measured again. After randomization, placebo group will be treated by nothing. In 2 hours later, brachial artery FMD measurement, IR injury and brachial artery FMD measurement will be measured again.
Sitagliptin and glibenclimideOtherIf sitagliptin treatment show preventive effects of IR injury, the investigator will perform additional experiment to explore the mechanism (Protocol 2 study). Additional 15 healthy volunteers will be treated 5 mg of glibenclamide (Euglucon) 1 hour before administration of 50 m g of sitagliptin. In 2 hours after sitagliptin administration, FMD measurement before and after IR injury will be performed as described above.
Receives: Drug: Sitagliptin

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of FMD [brachial artery endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation] after IR injury (brachial FMD before and after IR injury will be assessed)

    Measured: 2 hours after study drug treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The difference of FMD after IR injury in co-treatment of glibenclimide and sitagliptin ((brachial FMD before and after IR injury will be assessed)

    Measured: 3.5 hours after study drug treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sitagliptin in people with Healthy, run by Kyunghee University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 2 Apr 2015. 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Weon Kim, MD, PhD (82-2-958-8170, mylovekw@hanmail.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The difference of FMD [brachial artery endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation] after IR injury (brachial FMD before and after IR injury will be assessed) (time frame: 2 hours after study drug treatment). 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 2 Apr 2015.
