Effects of Pramlintide on Endogenous Production of Very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL)-Triglyceride and Glucose in the Post Prandial State in T2DM

July 18, 2021 updated by: Stephen N. Davis, MBBS, University of Maryland, Baltimore

Effects of Pramlintide on Endogenous Production of VLDL-Triglyceride and Glucose in the Post Prandial State in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes affects almost 21 million people in the United States. In this study we will test a drug called Pramlintide(Symlin), and see how it works to lower blood sugar and fat levels after a meal. Lowering high sugar levels and fat levels after a meal is very important in the prevention of the problems that persons with type 2 diabetes often encounter. Hypothesis is that Pramlintide will lower blood sugar and fat levels after a meal.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A well recognized and troublesome feature of diabetes management is the exacerbated post prandial glucose elevations following a typical high fat meal. To date the mechanisms driving this increased post prandial glycemia are unclear. Pramlintide is believed to affect intermediary metabolism as well as nutrient absorption. The relative contributions from altered absorption and metabolism to the observed post prandial reductions in plasma glucose and TG concentrations remain uncertain, however. Combinations of radioactive and stable isotope labeling techniques are able to quantify the relevant fluxes of glucose and lipids in vivo in humans and are therefore able to provide quantitative answers to these questions.

Aims:

  1. To determine the effects of Pramlintide on reducing endogenous production of very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglycerides(TG) following a high fat breakfast, lunch and dinner in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A triple isotope approach will be used to determine rate of appearance of (VLDL)-triglycerides following breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  2. To compare the relative roles of slowed glucose absorption and reduced endogenous glucose production (glucagonstatic mechanism) in the glucose-lowering effects of Pramlintide in the post prandial state in patients with T2DM.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 60 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Endogenous glucose production
Time Frame: 18 hours
18 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
