About this study

Official title: Effect of Delayed-Release Bile Acid on Insulin Sensitivity, Gastric Emptying and Body Weight in Overweight or Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

To study the effect of an ileocolonic formulation of ox bile extract on insulin sensitivity, postprandial glycemia and incretin levels, gastric emptying, body weight and fasting serum FGF-19 (fibroblast growth factor) levels in overweight or obese type 2 diabetic subjects on therapy with DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors (e.g. sitagliptin) alone or in combination with metformin.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single dose, randomized, controlled trial. Participants will receive 28 days (+/- 4 days) of treatment to study the effect of delayed (ileocolonic)-release ox bile extract 500 mg BID (twice daily) on insulin sensitivity, gastric emptying of liquids and solids (measured by scintigraphy) and weight loss I overweight and obese type 2 diabetic subjects. Participants will be receiving therapy with DPP4 inhibitors alone or in combination with metformin. Blood samples will be collected at defined times to measure glycemia, FGF-19 and incretins (GLP-1 [glucagon-like peptide-1], OXM [oxyntomodulin], PYY 3-36 [peptide YY]) fasting levels and responses to the meal.

Being tested
Gastric Emptying test, Mixed Oral Glucose Tolerance test, Conjugated bile acids sodium, Placebo
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Obesity, Overweight

What participants receive

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

  • Gastric Emptying testRadiation

    participants eat a standardized meal labeled with radioactive markers (99mTc DTPA [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid] and In111 Chloride). They have scans taken at specific times after the meal to document the rate of gastric emptying.

  • Mixed Oral Glucose Tolerance testOther

    Participants eat a meal containing 63g glucose in 240mL (milliliters) of skim milk, 2 scrambled eggs, 50g Canadian bacon and one slice of bread. Blood samples are taken prior to and for 6 hours after the meal at specific time points.

  • Conjugated bile acids sodiumDrug

    Also called Ox Bile extract

    500 mg tablets taken orally twice daily for 28 (+/- 4) days

  • PlaceboOther

    Placebo tablets taken orally twice daily for 28 (+/- 4) days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gastric Emptying test, Mixed Oral Glucose Tolerance test and Conjugated bile acids sodium in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obese, run by Mayo Clinic 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 10 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 31 May 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 31 May 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?

Change in Postprandial Glucose (time frame: baseline to 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02871882, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 May 2023.
