IL-1RA, Acute Exercise, and Beta-cell Function (ANEX)

February 10, 2017 updated by: Thomas Solomon, Rigshospitalet, Denmark
Subjects (N=48) with poorly-controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c>7%) will be assigned to one of the 4 following interventions in a randomised, parallel group design: [I] Control (placebo injection; no exercise), [II] Anakinra (100 mg subcutaneous injection of human recombinant interleukin-1 receptor antagonist), [III] Exercise (1 h cycle ergometry at 75% VO2max), [IV] Anakinra + Exercise. Pancreatic beta-cell function (plasma insulin responses) will be measured before and after each intervention using a hyperglycemic clamp (5.4 mM above basal glucose) combined with GLP-1 infusion (0.5 pmol/kg/min) and arginine injection (5 g bolus).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Control (CON)
Placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injectable bolus, the day prior to the repeated measurement of beta-cell function.
Experimental: Anakinra (AN)
100 mg of Kineret (Anakinra) will be administered as a subcutaneous injectable bolus, the day prior to the repeated measurement of beta-cell function.
Experimental: Exercise (EX)
1 hour of cycling exercise will be performed at 75% VO2max, the day prior to the repeated measurement of beta-cell function.
Experimental: Anakinra + Exercise (ANEX)
100 mg of Kineret (Anakinra) will be administered as a subcutaneous injectable bolus followed by 1 hour of cycling exercise at 75% VO2max, the day prior to the repeated measurement of beta-cell function.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Beta-cell function
Time Frame: 1 day after intervention
A hyperglycemic clamp will be performed combined with glucagon-like peptide(GLP)-1 infusion and arginine injection. The primary outcome is the insulin secretory response to glucose, GLP-1, and arginine.
1 day after intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Glucose disposition
Time Frame: 1 day after intervention
The glucose disposal rate during hyperglycemic clamp
1 day after intervention
