简要总结
In this study, we will test the hypothesis that distinct mechanisms account for the SGLT2i-induced stimulation of ketogenesis and lipolysis versus endogenous (hepatic) glucose production in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D), and that the increases in ketone production and lipolysis can be prevented by concomitant administration of the thiazolidinedione pioglitazone. We will conduct five distinct experiments to test this hypothesis in patients with T2D and T1D.
MAIN STUDY: To examine the effect of empagliflozin versus empagliflozin/pancreatic clamp on EGP (6,6, D2-glucose), gluconeogenesis (D2O), lipolysis (U-2H-glycerol), ketogenesis (13C-palmitate conversion to 3-betahydroxybuyrate), and norepinephrine turnover (3H-NE) in type 2 diabetes subjects.
详细描述
MAIN STUDY
Participants: 30 T2D subjects, age = 30-75 y, BMI = 23-38 kg/m2, HbA1c = 7.0-11%, eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73m2, BP < 160/90 mmHg. Participants must be in general good health based on medical history, physical exam, screening blood chemistries, CBC, TSH/T4, EKG, and urinalysis. Patients must have stable body weight (±1.5 kg) over the last 3 months and must not participate in an excessively heavy exercise program. Patients treated with diet, SU, metformin, or SU/MET are eligible. Patients treated with GLP-1 RA, DPP-4i, TZD, or insulin are excluded. Patients taking medications (other than SU/MET) known to affect glucose metabolism are excluded. Statin therapy is permissible if the dose has been stable for at least 3 months. Subjects with evidence of proliferative retinopathy or eGFR < 60 are excluded. Women of childbearing potential are excluded unless they are taking/using appropriate contractive medications/devices.
Protocol: Subjects will be randomized to receive empagliflozin (n=20) or placebo (n=10) in 2:1 ratio. Subject stratification will be done according to the following parameters: age (> or < 50 y), BMI (> or < 30 kg/m2), eGFR (> or < 80 ml/min/1.73 m2), HbA1c (> or < 8.5%). Each subject will participate in two studies performed in random order with 7-10 day interval between studies. In Study 1a, EGP will be measured with a prime-continuous 6,6, D2-glucose infusion and lipolysis will be measured with prime-continuous infusion of U-2H-glycerol. The rate of ketogenesis will be determined by infusion of 13C palmitate and quantitating the enrichment of 13C in 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Total body NE turnover will be measured with 3H-norepinephrine (3H-NE) infusion before and after empagliflozin administration. Study 1b will be similar to Study 1a with one exception. EGP, lipolysis, and ketogenesis, and NE turnover will be measured under pancreatic clamp conditions.

入选标准
- •Patients with T2D
- •Inclusion Criteria:
- •Ages 30-75
- •BMI (Body Mass Index) 21-45 kg/m2
- •HbA1c = 7.0-11%
- •eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate)> 60 ml/min/1.73m2
- •Blood Pressure (BP)≤160/90 mmHg
- •Participants must be in general good health based on medical history, physical exam, screening blood chemistries, CBC (Complete Blood Count), TSH/T4 (thyroid/thyroxine hormone), EKG (electrocardiogram), and urinalysis (UA)
- •Stable body weight (±1.5 kg) over the last 3 months and must not participate in an excessively heavy exercise program
- •Patients treated with diet, Sulfonylureas, Metformin, or Sulfonylureas/Metformin (Sulfo/MET)
- •Participants receiving a Glucagon like peptide -1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) must be on a stable dose for at least three months prior to study enrollment.
- •Participants receiving a Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4 inhibitor) must be on a stable dose for at least two months prior to study enrollment.
- •SGLT2 inhibitors must be discontinued at least two months prior to study enrollment.
- •Statin therapy is permissible if the dose has been stable for at least 3 months
排除标准
- •An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- •Patients treated with Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), or Insulin are excluded.
- •Patients taking medications other than Sulfonylureas/Metformin (SU/MET), stable dose of GLP1-RA and DPP4i known to affect glucose metabolism are excluded. Patients taking SGLT2i within 2 months of screening visit will be excluded from participating in this study, however they may be asked whether they would agree to discontinue the medication for two months to become eligible. (Please see clarification below.) *
- •Subjects with evidence of proliferative retinopathy or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 are excluded
- •Women of childbearing potential are excluded unless they are taking/using appropriate contractive medications/devices * Only participants who are taking SGLT2 inhibitors during the prescreening period will be asked to discontinue the medication at least two months prior to the screening visit. If they agree, they will return for an HbA1c measurement four weeks after stopping the SGLT2 inhibitor.
- •If their HbA1c rises to greater than 10%, treatment will be initiated with either metformin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, or a sulfonylurea. We do not anticipate any adverse effects during this initial period, provided the HbA1c remains below 10%.
- •HbA1c will be measured using a fingerstick test, which requires only a minimal amount of blood. No compensation will be provided during this phase.
- •After two months of medication discontinuation, participants will return for a screening visit. If they meet all eligibility criteria, they will be enrolled in the study and payment done by protocol.
