GLP-1 Treatment Options in Texas

The purpose of this study is to determine if prolonged fasting from solids and transitioning to a CLD for 24 hours is protective to decrease RGC in patients on GLP-1 RAs presenting for upper endoscopy, to determine if prolonged fasting is associated with increased thirst, hunger and anxiety, To determine if signs and symptoms of nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain are present on the day of surgery, to see if there is any variability between preoperative gastric ultrasound assessment and volume of gastric contents visualized on upper endoscopy, to determine time of gastric emptying by serial Gastric ultrasonography (GUS) scans every 2 hours in subjects who presented with an initial at-risk scan, to determine the choice of anesthesia used based on preoperative GUS results, to determine if there were any adverse events recorded in this study group, to determine if duration of GLP-1 RA therapy has an association with residual gastric content (RGC). and to determine if dosing of GLP-1 RA has an association with RGC.

RYGB (roux-en-y gastric bypass) has been reported to reverse type 2 diabetes (T2DM) immediately after surgery before any significant weight loss. In addition, a growing number of patients have been recognized with life-threatening hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia several years following their surgery. While the mechanisms by which RYGB improves glucose metabolism or alters islet cell function in patients after RYGB are not understood, recent studies suggest that increased secretion of GI hormones, primarily glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), as well as alteration in neural activity may contribute to enhanced insulin secretion in general, and to a greater extent in patients with hypoglycemia. The proposed research is designed to address the role of RYGB on insulin secretion by evaluating the contribution of stimulatory factors (neural and GI hormone) on islet cell function and the islet cell responsiveness to the physiologic stimulatory factors, in RYGB patients with and without hypoglycemia and non-operated controls.

The GRADE Study is a pragmatic, unmasked clinical trial that will compare commonly used diabetes medications, when combined with metformin, on glycemia-lowering effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes. Read Less

Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) versus GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) change. Secondary Objectives: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC to GLP-1 RA on top of metformin (with or without pioglitazone, with or without sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 \[SGLT2\] inhibitor) in participants with type 2 diabetes. To evaluate safety, efficacy and other endpoints of FRC up to the end of the extension period. Read Less

This Phase IIIb, randomized, open-label, parallel group, active control, multicenter, treat to-target study of 26 weeks' treatment duration will evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-weekly albiglutide as replacement of prandial insulin in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) failing to achieve adequate glycemic control on their current basal bolus insulin regimen (with or without metformin). Approximately 794 subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups: albiglutide + insulin glargine (with insulin lispro discontinuation at Week 4) (with or without metformin) or to intensification of insulin glargine + insulin lispro (with or without metformin). The study will comprise 4 study periods : Screening (2 weeks), Standardization (4 weeks), Treatment (26 weeks), and Post treatment Follow up (4 weeks). The total duration of a subject's participation will be approximately 36 weeks. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of albiglutide and exenatide on gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA), gastric emptying (GE) and nausea (as measured by visual analogue scale \[VAS\]) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study is divided in two parts. Part A will characterize the GMA, GE and nausea response to exenatide and confirm exenatide as a positive control for Part B. Part B will compare the effects of albiglutide and exenatide on GMA, GE and nausea. Part A is a single arm, open-label design and all subjects will receive 10 microgram (mcg) subcutaneous exenatide twice daily for 5 days. This part will comprise 3 study periods: a 3-week screening/wash-out, 5-day treatment, and follow-up (within 7 days after the last dose of exenatide). The total duration of a subject's participation in Part A will be approximately 5 weeks. Once Part A is complete, data will be reviewed and a decision to progress to Part B will be made. In Part B, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either albiglutide (starting dose of 30 milligrams \[mg\] once weekly for 4 weeks, followed by 50 mg once weekly for 4 weeks) or exenatide (starting dose of 5 mcg twice daily for 4 weeks, followed by 10 mcg twice daily for 4 weeks). The total duration of a subject's participation in the study will be approximately 15 weeks. Read Less

Albiglutide has been developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as an adjunct to diet and exercise, as monotherapy, or in combination with existing therapies and has been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulatory agencies. This is a 26 week, open-label, single group, multicenter, extension study to Study 200952. This extension study will provide extended safety, tolerability and immunogenicity data for the albiglutide liquid drug product. This extension study will comprise 2 study periods: treatment (26 weeks) and post-treatment follow-up (8 weeks). A maximum of 300 subjects will be eligible to take part in this extension study.

This is a phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel group, repeat-dose, study of 26 weeks duration to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic response of albiglutide liquid drug product relative to the commercial lyophilized drug product. The study will specifically evaluate the potential for immunogenicity (example \[e.g.\] incidences of anti-drug antibodies \[ADA\]) and injection site reactions (ISRs). Albiglutide is a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) with a sufficiently long half-life to permit once a week injection. Currently, lyophilized albiglutide and the diluent are provided in a dual chamber cartridge (DCC), single-dose pen injector, requiring reconstitution prior to use. A liquid formulation of albiglutide will enable the commercialization of a liquid product in a single dose, ready-to-use prefilled syringe in an auto-injector. The primary hypothesis of this study is to test that liquid drug product will provide glycemic control (as measured by HbA1c change from baseline) non-inferior to lyophilized drug product for a period of 26 weeks of treatment in subjects with T2DM. This study will comprise of 3 study periods : screening (2 weeks), treatment (26 weeks) and for those subjects not entering the extension study a follow-up period (8 weeks). Approximately 300 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either Albiglutide active liquid auto-injector (LAI) plus Placebo lyophilized DCC pen injector (lyophilized DCC PI); or, Albiglutide lyophilized DCC PI plus Placebo LAI.

Albiglutide is an analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), used to treat type 2 diabetes This study will test whether albiglutide affects the occurrence of major cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes and other important medical outcomes in persons with type 2 diabetes, when used alone or added to other diabetes treatments.

The incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is increasing day by day but the treatment options are limited in children and adolescents. Albiglutide, approved for the treatment of T2DM in adult population, is a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) with a sufficiently long half-life to permit once a week injection. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A is a single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study to confirm the dose and safety of albiglutide in pediatric subjects aged 10 to less than 18 years and Part B is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy (glycemic control) of albiglutide in the pediatric population. Treatment duration in Part B is 52 weeks (24 weeks double-blind placebo-controlled and 28 weeks open-label during which all subjects will receive albiglutide). Approximately 210 eligible male and female subjects will be included in the study. Read Less
