Trial Outcomes & Findings for Regulation of Insulin Secretion by the GLP-1 Receptor (NCT NCT02844907)

NCT ID: NCT02844907

Last Updated: 2024-12-12

Results Overview

Primary variable for analysis will be C-peptide during the clamp. Mean values will be compared between the control and dexamethasone studies for C-peptide levels during the hyperglycemia plus exendin-(9-39) period of the clamps. For each subject the mean C-peptide during the 60-90 minute period of the initial study (with no dexamethasone) will be compared to the 60-120 period with dexamethasone.

Measure
Hyperglycemic Clamp + Exendin (9-39)
During the 2-hour procedure, a variable infusion of 20% dextrose and blood glucose will be clamped at basal + 3mM. Participants will receive an infusion of the GLP-1 receptor antagonist Exendin (9-39) between the 60-120 minute time-points of the clamp. The amount of Ex-9 infused will be 750 pmol/kg/min for 60 minutes. Exendin (9-39): Upon establishing a hyperglycemic clamp (target blood glucose at basal +3 mM) Exendin (9-39) will be infused. Hyperglycemic Clamp: A variable infusion of 20% dextrose will begin to clamp the blood glucose at basal +3 mM.

Mean values will be compared between the control and dexamethasone studies for C-peptide levels during the hyperglycemia plus exendin-(9-39) period of the clamps. For each subject the mean C-peptide during the 60-90 minute period of the initial study (with no dexamethasone) will be compared to the 60-120 period with dexamethasone.

Each subject then received dexamethasone 4 mg daily for 7 days and returned for an identical experiment with a hyperglycemic clamp and exendin-(9-39). The study protocol and exposures were identical for each subject on the 1 (six subjects) or 2 (five subjects) days they were studied, and differed only by preceding dexamethasone treatment (5 subjects). Other Adverse Events are reported above separately for the experiments with and without dexamethasone.
