Treatment of Dysglycemia Using Sitagliptin in Adolescents With Cystic Fibrosis

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Cystic Fibrosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01721382
Lead Sponsor
Nemours Children's Clinic
Brief Summary

This pilot study will be conducted in adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) without diabetes but with abnormal glucose tolerance, and will assess the effects of sitagliptin on glucose regulation. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), will be performed at baseline and again \~4 weeks after treatment with study drug. We will also look at blood sugars throughout the day using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) before each time the MMTT/OGTT are performed. Several hormones that may affect the way the body regulates blood sugars will be measured in blood when the OGTT and MMTT are done. We will assess the effect this medicine has on blood sugars (using CGM) and the effect the medicine has on the hormones measured during the OGTT and MMTT.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response to sitagliptinChange from baseline to ~4 weeks of study drug

Change in incretin (glucagon like peptide 1; glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) concentrations in response to study drug.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Beta-cell functionChange from baseline to ~4 weeks of study drug

Beta-cell function will be measured using mixed meal tolerance tests (MMTT) and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), assessing maximum concentration and area under the curve (AUC) of glucose, insulin and c-peptide for both OGTT and MMTT.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)change from baseline to ~4 weeks of study drug

Baseline and post-treatment changes in glycemic variability using CGM, including mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE), peak post-prandial blood sugars, and glucose area under the curve.
