About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial for Analysis of Intestinal Microbiome Affecting Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Metformin in Healthy Volunteers

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the gut microbiome species change

    Compare how the gut microbiome species change after metformin (or vancomycin) multiple dosing

    Measured: Day 1/4/16/19

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Compare the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin

    Compare the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of metformin before and after vancomycin PO treatment

    Measured: Day 4/19 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post-dose)

  2. Compare the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of metformin

    Compare the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of metformin before and after vancomycin PO treatment

    Measured: Day 4/19 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post-dose)

  3. Compare the maximum blood glucose concentration (Gmax)

    Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); Compare the maximum blood glucose concentration (Gmax) before and after metformin (or vancomycin) PO treatment

    Measured: Day 1/4/16/19 (pre-dose (75 g glucose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5. 2 hours)

  4. Compare the area under the blood glucose concentration versus time curve (AUC)

    Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); Compare the area under the blood glucose concentration versus time curve (AUC) before and after metformin (or vancomycin) PO treatment

    Measured: Day 1/4/16/19 (pre-dose (75 g glucose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5. 2 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Metformin (part 1), Vancomycin and Metformin (part 2) in people with Human Microbiome, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 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 8 Oct 2020. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Compare the gut microbiome species change (time frame: Day 1/4/16/19). 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 NCT03809260, 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 8 Oct 2020.
