To examine the effect of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, on major components renal glucose reabsorption (decreased maximum reabsorptive capacity [TmG], increased splay, and reduced threshold), using pancreatic/stepped hyperglycemic clamp (SHC) technique.Subjects with type diabetes (n=12) matched healthy subjects underwent pancreatic/SHC (plasma range 5.5-30.5 mmol/L) at baseline after 7 days dapagliflozin treatment. A pharmacodynamic model was developed to...

Aims: Effects of the long acting GLP-1 analogue - liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 144 diabetic on metformin treatment (1000 mg BID) were randomised to 5 weeks (double-blind) plus liraglutide, or metformin, glimepiride (open label). The dose was increased weekly from 0.5 OD. Results: Liraglutide added monotherapy associated a significant reduction fasting serum glucose (FSG) (-3.9 mM -4.9; -2.9) (primary objective), and HbA1c levels (-0.8% -1.2; -0.4). Furthermore,...
OBJECTIVE Human regular U-500 (U-500R) insulin (500 units/mL) is increasingly being used clinically, yet its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) have not been well studied. Therefore, we compared PK PD of clinically relevant doses U-500R with the same human U-100 (U-100R) (100 units/mL). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a single-site, randomized, double-blind, crossover euglycemic clamp study. Single subcutaneous injections 50- 100-unit U-100R were administered to 24 healthy...
Aim To test the hypothesis that an improving body composition in insulin‐resistant individuals could enhance insulin sensitivity. Methods A total of 16 people with a mean mass index 29.3 kg/m 2 and resistance, received single dose bimagrumab or placebo were assessed at week 10 for sensitivity, using hyperinsulinaemic‐euglycaemic clamp intravenous glucose tolerance ( IVGTT ), dual energy X ‐ray absorptiometry positron‐emission tomography. Results Bimagrumab increased lean by 2.7% P < .05)...
Inhaled insulin (INH, Exubera) is under investigation for preprandial treatment of patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes (1–3). This dry-powder formulation delivered by aerosol, permitting the noninvasive administration rapid-acting (4). Preliminary studies have shown that INH provides reproducible effective control glycemia (1,5–7). randomized controlled trial examined extent to which availability affects perceived acceptability therapy among who failed achieve target on current...
Background: This study compared insulin lispro (IL) pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) delivered via microneedle intradermal (ID) injection with subcutaneous (SC) under euglycemic glucose clamp conditions. Methods: Ten healthy male volunteers were administered 10 international units (IU) of IL at 3 lengths (1.25, 1.50, or 1.75 mm) in a randomized, crossover fashion on Days 1–3 followed by repetitive ID 1.5-mm dose (Day 4) an SC 5). Results: Microneedle delivery resulted more...
To compare the pharmacokinetics and glucodynamics of three rapid-acting insulin analogs (aspart, glulisine, lispro) injected subcutaneously with or without recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20).This double-blind six-way crossover euglycemic glucose clamp study was conducted in 14 healthy volunteers. Each analog (0.15 units/kg) rHuPH20.The commercial formulations had comparable time-exposure time-action profiles as follows: 50% exposure at 123-131 min total infused 183-186 min. With...
To assess the therapeutic potential of fatty acid synthase (FASN) inhibition with FT-4101, a potent, selective, orally bioavailable, small-molecule by (a) evaluating dose-response single FT-4101 doses (3, 6 and 9 mg) on hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in healthy participants (Study 1) (b) demonstrating safety, tolerability efficacy steatosis after 12 weeks dosing patients non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD; Study 2).In 1, three sequential cohorts men (n = 10/cohort) were randomized to...
Abstract Context The effect of sotagliflozin (a dual sodium–glucose cotransporter [SGLT] 2 and SGLT1 inhibitor) on intestinal glucose absorption has not been investigated in humans. Objective To measure rate appearance oral (RaO) using a tracer method following standardized mixed meals taken after single or canagliflozin doses. Setting Clinical research organization Design participants In double-blind, 3-period crossover study (NCT01916863), 24 healthy were randomized to cohorts 12...
This study evaluates the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of novel ultra-fast insulin product VIAject, a formulation human soluble generally recognised as safe ingredients designed to increase rate absorption.We performed five euglycaemic glucose clamps (Biostator; target blood 5 mmol/l) in ten healthy volunteers. Using crossover design with fixed treatment order, 12 IU insulin, U lispro were injected s.c. abdominal region on three days. On other two days, 6 3...
To compare the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of insulin lispro or regular human (RHI) with without recombinant hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) administered before a standardized meal.In this four-way, crossover study, 22 patients type 1 diabetes received injections individually optimized doses RHI rHuPH20 liquid meal.With coadministration, early exposure (0-60 min) increased by 54% (P = 0.0011) for 206% < 0.0001) compared respective alone. Peak blood glucose decreased 26 mg/dL...

Activation of GPR119 receptors, expressed on enteroendocrine and pancreatic islet cells, augments glucagon counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia in pre-clinical models. We hypothesized that MBX-2982, a agonist, would augment experimental participants with type 1 diabetes. To assess this, we designed phase 2a double-masked, cross-over trial 18 (20–60 years) Participants were randomized treatment 600 mg MBX-2982 or placebo daily for 14 days two-week washout between treatments....
