About this study

Official title: A Phase 2a, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Way Crossover Study to Compare Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Doses of ORMD-0801 in Adult Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This is a four-way crossover (non-parallel) study with each subject receiving three of the four arms. The study will enroll approximately 30 adult subjects with T2DM from age 20 to 75 inclusive.

Following a 7-10 day Screening period, eligible subjects will enter a 3-day single-blind placebo run-in. On Day 4, each subject will be randomized to a treatment sequence that will include three treatment assignments for each of three treatment Periods according to the randomization scheme.

Read the detailed description

Following the screening, eligible subjects entered a 3-day, single-blind placebo run-in. On Day 4, each subject was randomized to a treatment sequence that included three treatment assignments for each of three treatment Periods according to the randomization scheme.

Pre-assignment Details The number of participants receiving each Intervention, in each Period, is reported.

Subjects received the randomized treatment from Day 4 through Day 8. There was a 24-hour single-blind placebo washout on Day 9. Each subject received placebo for one of the three treatment periods. Each subject also received 1 of the 3 active doses randomly in each of the two other treatment periods respectively. The dosing order is random.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Glucose Levels Between Pre-treatment and End of Treatment as Measured by 24-hour Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

    Measure the change in Glucose (mg/dL) by 24 hour CGM between Day3 and Day8 (Change in mg/dL between run-in and Day 5 of Active treatment)

    Measured: Day 3 (run-in) and Day 8 (Day 5 of Active treatment)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Calculate the C-peptide Ratio for Single and Multiple Doses of ORMD-0801 vs Placebo.

    For each dose, calculate the ratio of the C-Peptide measurement area-under-the-curve (ng-hr/mL) Day 8 to the C-peptide measurement area-under-the-curve (ng-hr/mL) Day 3. This ratio is called the C-peptide Ratio.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 8

  2. The Number Hypoglycemic Events for Single and Multiple Doses of ORMD-0801 vs Placebo

    The number of safety parameter hypoglycemic events for single and multiple doses of ORMD-0801 vs placebo.

    Measured: Day 3 through Day 8 of treatment

  3. Calculate the Difference Between Values of Pre-treatment and End-of-treatment Mean Daytime CGM Glucose

    Calculate the difference between pre-treatment (Day 3) and end of treatment (Day 8) mean daytime CGM glucose for single and multiple doses of ORMD-0801 vs placebo.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 8 (two timepoints)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ORMD-0801 (qd), ORMD-0801 (bid) and ORMD-0801 (tid) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Oramed, Ltd. 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 10 inclusion and 33 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 12 Jul 2018. 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 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 12 Jul 2018). 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 Glucose Levels Between Pre-treatment and End of Treatment as Measured by 24-hour Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) (time frame: Day 3 (run-in) and Day 8 (Day 5 of Active 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 12 Jul 2018.
