Trial Outcomes & Findings for Albiglutide Glucose Clamp Study in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes (NCT NCT01475734)

NCT ID: NCT01475734

Last Updated: 2017-01-11

Results Overview

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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 4

Population: Pharmacodynamic (PD) Population: all participants who received 1 dose of albiglutide or placebo, had a Baseline assessment, and had at least 1 post-Baseline assessment of the primary endpoint (glucagon) during the clamp procedure. PD Population participants were analyzed according to randomly assigned treatment.

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.

The insulin secretion rate (ISR) was estimated by the deconvolution of peripheral C-peptide concentrations using a 2-compartment model that utilizes population C-peptide kinetic parameters. ISR was measured at 1 hr, 1 hr 15 min, 1 hr 45 min, 2 hr, 2 hr 45 min, 3 hr, 3 hr 30 min, 3 hr 45 min, 4 hr 15 min, and 4 hr 30 min. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed on insulin secretion rate using a model with treatment, time, and treatment-by-time as fixed effects, and participant as a random effect.

Epinephrine levels were 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 log-transformed pharmacodynamic parameters using a model with treatment, time, and treatment-by-time as fixed effects, and participant as a random effect.

Population: Pharmacodynamic Population. Different participants may have been analyzed at different time points (reflected by n=X, X in the category titles), so the overall number of participants analyzed reflects everyone in the Pharmacodynamic Population.

Growth hormone levels were measured at all stages of glycemia during the glucose clamp period. Epinephrine levels were 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 log-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 were set to the quantification limit for summary.

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.

Participants received a single dose of albiglutide (50 milligrams \[mg\]) subcutaneously 3 days before employing a stepped hyper- and hypoglycemic clamp with glucose plateaus of 9.0, 5.0, 4.0, 3.3, and 2.8 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (162, 90, 72, 59, and 50.4 milligrams per deciliter \[mg/dL\], respectively). Glucose and insulin infusions were included as part of the clamp procedure.

Timeframe: Day 4

Population: Albiglutide Pharmacokinetic Population: all participants who had at least one sample to compute albiglutide exposure

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.

Population: Safety Population: all participants who received one dose of albiglutide or placebo. The Safety Population was analyzed according to treatment received.

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.
