Sitagliptin in Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes

March 5, 2014 updated by: University of British Columbia

The Effects of the DPPIV Inhibitor Sitagliptin in Cystic Fibrosis-related Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitor sitagliptin is effective in the treatment of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD). We hypothesize that sitagliptin will improve meal-stimulated insulin secretion.

Detailed Description

To date, no clinical trials have been conducted using the DPPIV inhibitor sitagliptin in cystic fibrosis-related diabetes. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes is characterized initially by post-prandial hyperglycemia, with normal fasting sugars. As the disease progresses, fasting hyperglycemia develops. As sitagliptin augments post-prandial insulin release, while avoiding fasting hypoglycemia, it may be an alternative therapy for cystic fibrosis-related diabetes in individuals who do not yet require basal insulin therapy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Insulin release
Time Frame: 180 minutes (during clamp)
The study protocol is a iv-oral hyperglycemic glucose clamp. We will assess insulin release during the clamp, comparing placebo to sitagliptin.
180 minutes (during clamp)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incretin Response
Time Frame: 180 minutes (during clamp)
We will assess incretin release [glucoagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide(GIP)] during the glucose clamp.
180 minutes (during clamp)
