24 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the study is to determine how blood sugar levels in individuals with and without hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery respond to different doses of glucagon, a hormone that is usually present in your body that regulates blood sugar levels. In this study, there will be 4 visits to the clinical research center. In the first visit, medical history and physical exam will be performed, and blood samples will be taken to assess overall health. During visit 2, a continuous glucose monitor will be placed under the skin. (This may be combined with visit 1, depending on the schedule of visits.) In visit 3, we will test the effect of a total of 4 different doses of glucagon, in increasing doses. In visit 4, we will test the effect of a total of 3 doses of glucagon, in decreasing doses. For both visit 3 and 4, we will infuse labeled stable glucose to allow us to measure how much glucose the body is making, and will measure levels of hormones which regulate glucose, such as insulin and glucagon.
AVX-001 (LUCIDITY) is a Phase 3 study to evaluate avexitide compared to placebo in participants with post bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) related to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The study will assess avexitide compared to placebo for safety and efficacy, measured by reduction of hypoglycemic events. The study includes a Screening period with a Run-in period (of up to 6- and 3-weeks, respectively); a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study treatment period of 16 weeks; and a two-part open-label extension (OLE) period with a duration of approximately 32 weeks.
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the magnitude of changes in glucose and hormone levels in response to structured exercise in the fasting state in individuals with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). This pilot study will assess the adequacy of a protocol to test the following hypotheses: (1) hypoglycemia will develop in individuals with PBH in response to exercise; (2) counterregulatory hormonal responses to hypoglycemia during exercise are impaired in individuals with PBH.
This clinical study will examine the safety and tolerability, as well as the effects of orally administered mizagliflozin on post prandial glucose and insulin levels in subjects diagnosed with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH).
Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is an increasingly recognized syndrome that is incompletely understood. The purpose of this study is to increase our level of understanding by investigating mechanisms contributing to this condition. Participation in this study will take place over four visits, which will include the following: * Wearing of a continuous glucose monitoring device; * Providing a stool sample (collected at home); * Measuring glucose and hormone levels in response to a meal; * Measuring glucose and hormone levels in response to an injection of glucagon; * Measuring hormone levels while glucose levels are gradually lowered, and during a controlled period of a low glucose level (hypoglycemic clamp). Investigators will test the hypothesis that counterregulatory hormone responses are impaired in individuals with PBH, and that differences in the intestinal bacteria (microbiome) may contribute to this condition.
To assess the efficacy of a closed loop glucagon system to prevent and treat hypoglycemia occurring in patients with Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia (PBH) in response to meals and exercise.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses of exendin 9-39 administered by subcutaneous route in subjects with post-bariatric hypoglycemia.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous exendin (9-39) in subjects with post-bariatric hypoglycemia. Development of this subcutaneous formulation of exendin (9-39) would represent a targeted therapeutic approach for this rare disease with unmet clinical need.
This clinical study will evaluate whether taking an investigational drug called exendin 9-39 is safe, well-tolerated, and helps to prevent low blood sugar in people who have had bariatric surgery and later develop a rare condition called postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH).
The Total duration of trial participation for each participant with post-bariatric hypoglycemia will be a maximum of 59 weeks, with the following duration of trial periods * 19 weeks for the Core Phase. It is composed of: * a Screening period: a maximum of 3 weeks * a Run-in period (no treatment): 4 weeks * a Blinded Treatment Phase: 12 weeks * 36 weeks Extension Phase = an open-label Treatment period * 4 weeks for the safety follow-up period (without any treatment).
Severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)after gastric bypass surgery is an increasingly recognized condition, characterized by symptoms of hypoglycemia after eating and inappropriately elevated insulin concentrations that occur at the time of hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia can be dangerous and debilitating and can also impact cognitive function. At the moment no medical therapies have been developed for this disorder. Determining why some but not other patients develop this condition would allow for improved prediction, prevention, and treatment approaches. The purpose of the study is to understand the physiological changes observed in those patients who undergo gastric bypass and develop symptomatic hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses and Drug Drug Interaction of MBX 1416 in healthy volunteers This study includes 3 parts. Part A involves a single dose of MBX 1416 or placebo taken as a subcutaneous injection (SC). Part B involves repeat doses of MBX 1416 or placebo taken as a subcutaneous injection (SC). Part C involves the evaluation of rosuvastatin and acetaminophen pharmacokinetics in the presence and absence of MBX 1416.
This is a phase 2 crossover, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind, repeat dose study in PBH subjects to determine the effect of mizagliflozin on adverse events and postprandial glucose excursions.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different dosing regimens of an investigational drug called Avexitide in treating low blood sugar in patients with Acquired Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there are differences in cognitive function (thinking) in individuals who have recurrent hypoglycemia (low blood sugars) following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, compared with individuals who have also had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass but do not have hypoglycemia.
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Glucagon RTU when administered to subjects with a history of bariatric surgery during episodes of post-postprandial hypoglycemia. Twelve eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Glucagon RTU or placebo at the first of two clinical research center (CRC) visits, followed by the other treatment at the second CRC visit. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either Glucagon RTU or Placebo for the duration of a 12-week Outpatient Stage. A follow-up safety assessment visit will occur 14 to 28 days after a subject's last dose of study drug.
This study is designed to evaluate individuals who are currently experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia, in order to discern correlations between microbiome composition and patterns of postprandial glycemia.
The purpose of this study is to see if the use of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) by people who experience low blood sugars (hypoglycemia) after gastric surgery can help reduce the number and severity of low blood sugar episodes.
This study is to test our automated hypoglycemia prevention and treatment device (glucagon-only bionic pancreas) in subjects that have undergone post-bariatric surgery that are experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of GLP-1 in causing extreme postprandial glucose reductions after bariatric surgery in a subset of patients who have severe symptomatic hypoglycemia.
The primary objective of this study is to test an optimized control system for sensor-guided (physician administered) delivery of glucagon, and test Proof-of-Concept (POC) in a clinical setting in patients with severe hypoglycemia following bariatric surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to learn how the body processes ingested alcohol and how alcohol affects mood and blood sugar in both men and women after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. The main question\[s\]it aims to answer are: * Are there differences in the way that ingested alcohol is handled in men versus women after sleeve gastrectomy? * What is the consequence of drinking alcohol on an empty stomach versus after a meal on blood sugar control after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy? Participants will participate in two types of alcohol tests (alcohol given orally or administered intravenously) after not eating anything overnight or after having a meal. Researchers will compare men and women who underwent sleeve gastrectomy with men and women who had no surgery, are of similar age and body composition, and have similar alcohol intake patterns.
The purpose of this study is learn the effect of gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy on glucose metabolism mediated by neural and hormonal factors initiated after eating.
The overall goal of this project is to understand the mechanisms by which gastric bypass surgery improves glucose metabolism. The central hypothesis guiding this project is that the reconfiguration of intestinal transit with the Roux-en-Y will increase the release of insulinotropic GI hormones, termed incretins that improve insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. The study is divided into three specific aims. 1. To determine the role of incretin hormones on insulin secretion in patients with gastric bypass surgery using intravenous-oral hyperglycemic clamp. 2. To compare incretin effect and glucose tolerance among patient who suffer from hypoglycemia after RYGB and asymptomatic surgical and non-surgical individuals. 3. To quantify the contribution of GLP-1 to incretin effect enhancement following surgery.
