January 5, 2024 updated by: Rivus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

A 6-Month, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2a Study of the Effects of HU6 on Energy Metabolism, Muscle and Liver Substrate Metabolism, and Mitochondrial Function in Subjects Who Are Overweight or Obese With Type 2 Diabetes

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study of HU6 and placebo in subjects who are overweight or obese with T2D.

The study will be conducted in 4 stages.

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

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study of HU6 and placebo in subjects who are overweight or obese with T2D.

The study will be conducted in 4 stages (Figure 1).

  • Stage 1: (screening) is conducted over a 29-day window (Day -48 to Day -20). Subjects who meet all of the eligibility criteria may proceed Stages 2 to 4 of the study.
  • Stage 2 (baseline [pre-randomization]) is conducted over a 19-day period prior to randomization and includes a 13-day run-in and the first 6-day inpatient assessment period. At the end of Stage 2, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to HU6 or placebo.
  • Stage 3 (double-blind dosing) is conducted after randomization. Day 1 is the first dose of double-blind study drug, and dosing continues over an approximate 26-week period. During this time, there will be study visits for safety, PK, and PD. Stage 3 of the study concludes with a 3-day run-in followed by the second 6-day inpatient assessment period.
  • Stage 4 (washout) is conducted after dosing has ended and includes an approximate 4-week washout duration including a 3-day run-in followed by the third inpatient assessment period (3-day duration). The last day of the 3-day inpatient stay is the end-of-study. (Note that there will be a separate early termination visit for any subject who prematurely discontinues from the study

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.
