Albiglutide Glucose Clamp Study in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

November 20, 2016 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

A Single-site, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group, Stepped Glucose Clamp Study to Assess the Effects of Albiglutide on Counter-regulatory Hormone Responses and Recovery From Hypoglycemia in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

This is a stepped glucose clamp study designed to investigate the effect of treatment with albiglutide on counter-regulatory hormone responses and recovery from hypoglycemia in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. A single dose of albiglutide or placebo will be given prior to a stepped hyper- and hypoglycemic clamp. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that albiglutide increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase II, single-site, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, stepped glucose clamp study designed to investigate the effect of treatment with albiglutide on counter-regulatory hormone responses and recovery from hypoglycemia in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. A single dose of albiglutide or placebo will be given 3 days before employing a stepped hyper- and hypoglycemic clamp. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that albiglutide increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. In particular, this study is being conducted to ensure that albiglutide does not impair counter-regulatory responses during hypoglycemia.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Glucagon Concentration (Nanomoles Per Liter [Nmol/L]) During the Hypoglycemic Periods of the Glucose Clamp Procedure
Time Frame: Day 4
Plasma glucagon levels were measured for the estimation of glucagon secretion during the hypoglycemic periods. Glucagon response was measured at each clamped glucose concentration: 9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (0 hour [hr], 1hr, 1 hr 15 minutes [min]), 5 mmol/L (1 hr 45 min, 2 hr), 4 mmol/L (2 hr 45 min, 3 hr), 3.3 mmol/L (3 hr 30 min, 3 hr 45 min), and 2.8 mmol/L (4 hr 15 min, 4 hr 30 min), and clamp released (4 hr 45 min, 5 hr, 5 hr 15 min, 5 hr 30 min). Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed on non-transformed pharmacodynamic parameters using a model with treatment, time, and treatment-by-time as fixed effects, and participant as a random effect. Values below the lower limit of quantification (0.03780 nmol/L) were set to the quantification limit for summary.
Day 4

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.

Day 4
Recovery Time of Plasma Glucose Levels to >=3.9 mmol/L (>=70 mg/dL) From the Hypoglycemic Clamp Level of 2.8 Nmol/L (50.4 mg/dL)
Time Frame: Day 4
The effect of albiglutide and placebo on the recovery time of plasma glucose levels to >=3.9 mmol/L (7>=0 mg/dL) from the hypoglycemic clamp level of 2.8 nmol/L (50.4 mg/dL) was calculated as the time in minutes between switching off of the insulin infusion and reaching the level of >=3.9 mmol/L (>=70 mg/dL). Censored values were censored at 70 minutes. The median and 95% confidence interval data are obtained from Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Day 4
Average Albiglutide Concentration on the Day of the Clamp Procedure
Time Frame: Day 4
Plasma samples were taken from participants at two time points on Day 4 (at 0 hours and 4 hours and 45 minutes post-dose) of Week 1 of the study for albiglutide study drug level analyses. The average concentration for each participant was calculated as the mean of the concentrations at 0 hours and 4 hours 45 minutes. The clamp procedure is a glucose-controlled insulin infusion system. Variable infusions of glucose are administered to achieve various glucose target levels. It is a way of quantifying insulin secretion and resistance.
Day 4
Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and Treatment-emergent Non-serious Adverse Event (AE) During the Clamp Period
Time Frame: From the time the participant consented to participate in the study through the end of the study, or the final follow-up visit for participants who discontinued active participation in the study (up to 8 study weeks)
Treatment-emergent AEs are defined as those with an onset on or after study drug administration. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
From the time the participant consented to participate in the study through the end of the study, or the final follow-up visit for participants who discontinued active participation in the study (up to 8 study weeks)
