About this study

Official title: Subcutaneous Injection of Exendin (9-39) in Subjects With Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Post-Bariatric Surgery

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses of exendin 9-39 administered by subcutaneous route in subjects with post-bariatric hypoglycemia.

Read the detailed description

Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia (PBH) is a debilitating rare disease afflicting 0.2-6.9% of post-bariatric patients, characterized by repeated severe hypoglycemic episodes with neuroglycopenic symptoms and marked disability. There are no effective medical therapies.

While the cause is not known, exaggerated postprandial secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) as a result of altered nutrient transit likely plays a major role. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone secreted primarily by the distal ileum that contributes to postprandial glucose regulation. Exendin 9-39 (Ex9) is a specific GLP-1 receptor antagonist, that when given via continuous IV infusion, has been shown to effectively prevent postprandial hypoglycemia in patients with PBH. Subcutaneous (SC) injection of Ex9 may represent a safe, effective and practical therapeutic approach to treating PBH.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment effect on plasma glucose

    Magnitude of plasma glucose nadir during repeat OGTT after treatment

    Measured: 0-180 minutes following initiation of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) conducted after treatment.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment effect on symptoms of hypoglycemia

    Response rate in symptom score during repeat OGTT after treatment.

    Measured: 0-180 minutes following initiation of OGTT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Exendin (9-39) in people with Hyperinsulinemia Hypoglycemia, run by Tracey McLaughlin 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 4 Dec 2024. 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?

Treatment effect on plasma glucose (time frame: 0-180 minutes following initiation of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) conducted after 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 4 Dec 2024.
