Glucagon in MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young)

August 16, 2022 updated by: University of Oxford

Investigating Glucagon Secretion in HNF1-alpha and HNF4-alpha MODY

The aim of this study is to determine whether fasting and post-prandial glucagon secretion is suppressed by gliclazide in patients with HNF1-/4-alpha MODY. Participants will undergo an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before and after omitting their gliclazide medication for 3 days.

Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Omission of gliclazide
Participants will stop taking gliclazide for 3 days. Data from the OGTT will be compared with that prior to stopping the medication.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in plasma glucagon from baseline (0min)
Time Frame: 0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.
Change in the concentration of plasma glucagon from baseline during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), while on gliclazide and after a washout period.
0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in plasma c-peptide from baseline (0min)
Time Frame: 0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.
To determine whether changes in post-prandial glucagon levels correlate with changes in c-peptide levels in HNF1-/4-alpha MODY patients on and off gliclazide.
0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.
Change in plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) from baseline (0min)
Time Frame: 0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.
To determine whether changes in post-prandial glucagon levels correlate with changes in NEFA levels in HNF1-/4-alpha MODY patients on and off gliclazide.
0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.
Continuous glucose monitor recordings
Time Frame: 12 days
To assess the blood glucose variability on and off gliclazide treatment (only for participants who opt to take part in this optional component).
12 days

IPD Plan Description

The anonymised data (i.e. with studyID only) generated from this study will be deposited in the Oxford Research Archive (http://ora.ox.ac.uk/). This will provide a link between the results presented in publications and the underlying data. At the end of the retention period (currently 5 years), the data will be deleted from the archive. The anonymised data may still be used in future research.
