Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the key factors influencing insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and maturity onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY2). Our study tests the hypothesis that decreased insulin sensitivity is primarily driven by chronically elevated insulin levels in the blood rather than chronic elevations in blood sugar.

    Hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp: T1DM

    Participants will undergo an 8-hour hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp to quantify insulin sensitivity at whole-body and tissue-specific levels. The following hormones will be infused in the study: * insulin (12 milliunit (mU)/m\^2/min \[3x basal\] for 150 minutes, then 40 mU/m\^2/min \[10x basal\] for 180 minutes) * glucagon (0.65 ng/kg/min \[1x basal\] for 330 minutes) * somatostatin (60 ng/kg/min) These infusions will maintain a basal glucagon level and an increased insulin level in the blood that will be equal between all 3 cohorts. A variable infusion of 20% dextrose will be used to maintain plasma glucose within the euglycemic range throughout the hyperinsulinemic portion of the clamp. 6,6-H2 glucose will be infused at a low rate (0.033-0.22 µmol/kg/min) to determine glucose flux during the study.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Whole-body Glucose Utilization (Rd)

    Time frame · End of clamp study (the study will last 8 hours)

    Registry description

    The primary outcome is the degree to which Rd (determined using isotopic glucose tracer techniques) during maximal insulin stimulation differs between cohorts.

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity

    Time frame · 4 1/2 hours into clamp study

    Registry description

    Glucose production (Ra) will be determined using stable isotopic tracer techniques. The extent to which Ra is suppressed at the end of 4 1/2 hours (when glucose Ra by liver has been submaximally suppressed) compared to basal (ΔRa) is directly proportional to hepatic insulin sensitivity.

  2. Adipose Tissue Insulin Sensitivity

    Time frame · 4 1/2 hours into clamp study

    Registry description

    Insulin sensitivity at fat is directly proportional to insulin's ability to suppress lipolysis. Thus, we will determine the extent to which submaximal insulin stimulation (4 1/2 hours into the study) suppresses glycerol and non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFAs) compared to baseline. The extent to which these two metabolites are suppressed is directly proportional to insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue. Here the suppression of NEFA is taken as the secondary outcome parameter.
