Study Overview

Brief Summary

VGX-001-013 (EMERGE) is a Phase 2b study to evaluate an investigational new drug, mizagliflozin, for safety, tolerability and its ability to prevent low blood sugar in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycemia.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 2b randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, repeat dose parallel group study in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) to determine the effect of mizagliflozin on safety, postprandial glucose excursions and reduction in hypoglycemic events.

  • •History of reactive hypoglycemia with Whipple's triad: the occurrence of hypoglycemic symptoms associated with blood glucose of <54 mg/dL, and resolution with glucose or carbohydrate administration. Symptoms associated with reactive hypoglycemia include neuroglycopenic symptoms (e.g., behavioral changes, confusion or impaired cognitive function, seizure, loss of consciousness).

  • •Participants (male and female) must agree to use an adequate method of contraception
  • •Has recurrent hypoglycemia of at least 4 episodes during a 3-week Run-In period.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •History of current medical conditions excluding PBH which may result in hypoglycemia).
  • •Current use of insulin or insulin secretagogues.
  • •Current use of GLP-1 agonists, GLP-1/GIP dual agonists, or GLP-1 antagonists. Unless participants have been through a 'wash-out' period
  • •Current use of drugs that may affect CGM function (e.g., acetaminophen/paracetamol).
  • •History of recent fasting hypoglycemia.
  • •Participants with rectal prolapse or pelvic floor dysfunction within 6 months of Screening.
  • •Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association class II, III or IV within 6 months of Screening.
  • •History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or revascularization within 6 months of Screening.
  • •History of a cerebrovascular accident within 6 months of Screening.
  • •Active malignancy, except basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers.
  • •Major surgical operation within 30 days of Screening.
